A 250 newton centripetal force acts on a car moving at a constant speed in a horizontal circle. If the same force is applied, but the radius is made smaller, what happens to the speed v and the frequency f of the car?
The graph represents the position \( x \) as a function of time \( t \) for an object undergoing simple harmonic motion. Which of the following equations could represent the position \( x \) as a function of time \( t \)?
Two wires support an unknown mass as shown in the diagram. The tension in the left wire is measured to be \( 17.5 \) \( \text{N} \) and the tension in the right wire is \( 30.3 \) \( \text{N} \). The left wire makes an angle of \( 30^{\circ} \) with the horizontal, and the right wire makes an angle of \( 60^{\circ} \) with the horizontal. What is the mass of the object?
An elevator starts at rest on the ground floor. It accelerates upward smoothly for \( 2 \) \( \text{s} \) until reaching a steady upward speed. It continues at that constant speed for \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \) before gently slowing to rest at the next floor in \( 3 \) \( \text{s} \). Draw the velocity vs. time graph.
Suppose an object is accelerated by a force of \( 100 \) \( \text{N} \). Suddenly a second force of \( 100 \) \( \text{N} \) in the opposite direction is exerted on the object, so that the forces cancel. The object

A horizontal, uniform board of weight \( 125 \, \text{N} \) and length \( 4 \, \text{m} \) is supported by vertical chains at each end. A person weighing \( 500 \, \text{N} \) is hanging from the board. The tension in the right chain is \( 250 \, \text{N} \).
A student is watching their hockey puck slide up and down an incline. They give the puck a quick push along a frictionless table, and it slides up a \( 30^\circ \) rough incline (\( \mu_k = 0.4 \)) of distance \( d \), with an initial speed of \( 5 \) \( \text{m/s} \), and then it slides back down.
A particle of mass \(m\) slides down a fixed, frictionless sphere of radius \(R\), starting from rest at the top.
In terms of \(m\), \(g\), \(R\), and \(\theta\), determine each of the following for the particle while it is sliding on the sphere.
The launching mechanism of a toy gun consists of a spring with an unknown spring constant, \( k \). When the spring is compressed \( 0.120 \, \text{m} \) vertically, a \( 35.0 \, \text{g} \) projectile is able to be fired to a maximum height of \( 25 \, \text{m} \) above the position of the projectile when the spring is compressed. Assume that the barrel of the gun is frictionless.

The side of an above-ground pool is punctured, and water gushes out through the hole. If the total depth of the pool is \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \), and the puncture is \( 1 \) \( \text{m} \) above the ground level, what is the efflux speed of the water?
A rock is dropped from a sea cliff, and the sound of it striking the ocean is heard \( 3.4 \) \( \text{s} \) later. If the speed of sound is \( 340 \) \( \text{m/s} \), how high is the cliff?
Why do you float higher in salt water than in fresh water?
Riders in a carnival ride stand with their backs against the wall of a circular room of diameter \(8.0 \, \text{m}\). The room is spinning horizontally about an axis through its center at a rate of \(45 \, \text{rev/min}\) when the floor drops so that it no longer provides any support for the riders. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rider required so that the rider does not slide down the wall?
The elliptical orbit of a comet is shown above. Positions \(1\) and \(2\) are, respectively, the farthest and nearest positions to the Sun, and at position \(1\) the distance from the comet to the Sun is \(10\) times that at position \(2\). What is the ratio \(\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}\), the force on the comet at position \(1\) to the force on the comet at position \(2\)?
If you stand on a bathroom scale in a moving elevator, does its reading change?
A block is projected up a ramp with an initial speed \( v_0 \). It travels along the surface of the ramp with constant acceleration \( a \). Take the positive direction of motion to be up the ramp. If the acceleration vector points opposite the initial velocity vector, which of the following MUST be true?
In both cases, a massless rod is supported by a fulcrum, and a \(200 \, \text{kg}\) hanging mass is suspended from the left end of the rod by a cable. A downward force \(F\) keeps the rod in rest. The rod in Case A is \(50 \, \text{cm}\) long, and the rod in Case B is \(40 \, \text{cm}\) long (each rod is marked at \(10 \, \text{cm}\) intervals). The magnitude of each vertical force \(F\) exerted on the rod will be
A block attached to a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. The acceleration of the block has its maximum magnitude at the point where:
A block of mass \(M_1\) travels horizontally with a constant speed \(v_0\) on a plateau of height \(H\) until it comes to a cliff. A toboggan of mass \(M_2\) is positioned on level ground below the cliff. The center of the toboggan is a distance \(D\) from the base of the cliff.
