Suppose you place a ball in the middle of a wagon, and then accelerate the wagon forward. Describe the motion of the ball relative to the ground. Describe its motion relative to the wagon.
In which of the following cases does a car have a negative velocity and a positive acceleration? A car that is traveling in the:

A block is attached to a horizontal spring and is initially at rest at the equilibrium position \( x = 0 \), as shown in Figure \( 1 \). The block is then moved to position \( x = -A \), as shown in Figure \( 2 \), and released from rest, undergoing simple harmonic motion. At the instant the block reaches position \( x = +A \), another identical block is dropped onto and sticks to the block, as shown in Figure \( 3 \). The two–block–spring system then continues to undergo simple harmonic motion. Which of the following correctly compares the total mechanical energy \( E_{\text{tot},2} \) of the two–block–spring system after the collision to the total mechanical energy \( E_{\text{tot},1} \) of the one–block–spring system before the collision?

An object weighing 120 N is set on a rigid beam of negligible mass at a distance of 3 m from a pivot, as shown above. A vertical force is to be applied to the other end of the beam a distance of 4 m from the pivot to keep the beam at rest and horizontal. What is the magnitude F of the force required?
A rocket explodes into two fragments, one \(25\) times heavier than the other. The change in momentum of the lighter fragment is

The displacement \( x \) of an object moving in one dimension is shown above as a function of time \( t \). The acceleration of this object must be
An airplane accelerates down a runway at \( 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). It reaches a final velocity of \( 200 \, \text{m/s} \) until it finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.
An object can move upward while having a downward acceleration.
A rollercoaster leaves the station at rest. Its speed increases steadily for \( 6 \) \( \text{s} \) as it heads down the first drop. The ride then levels out and it moves at a constant speed for \( 4 \) \( \text{s} \) before hitting the brakes and stopping in \( 3 \) \( \text{s} \). Draw the velocity vs. time graph or explain it in terms of functions.
An air mattress pump blows air above a beach ball at \( 8 \) \( \text{m/s} \). The air below the beach ball is moving at \( \approx 0 \) \( \text{m/s} \). Assuming the beach ball diameter is \( 0.1 \) \( \text{m} \), meaning the areas for the top \& bottom are each \( \approx 0.03 \) \( \text{m}^2 \), and the density of air is \( 1 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \), what is the lift force on the beach ball?
A baseball, mass \(0.5 \, \text{kg}\), is traveling to the right at \(32.2 \, \text{m/s}\) when it is hit by a bat and travels the opposite direction at \(72.2 \, \text{m/s}\). The bat hits the ball with a force of \(1,222 \, \text{N}\). What is the ball’s change in momentum and how long was the ball in contact with the bat?

An object of mass \( m = 3.0 \) \( \text{kg} \) is attached to one end of a string with negligible mass and length \( L = 0.80 \) \( \text{m} \). The object is released from rest at time \( t = 0 \), when the string is horizontal. At time \( t = t_1 \) the object is at the location shown in the figure, where the string is vertical. Which of the following is most nearly the magnitude of the tension in the string at time \( t = t_1 \)?
Consider a uniform hoop of radius \( R \) and mass \( M \) rolling without slipping. Which is larger, its translational kinetic energy or its rotational kinetic energy? Hint: The moment of inertia of a uniform hoop is \(I = M R^2\)
A rock is thrown at an angle of \( 42^\circ \) above the horizontal at a speed of \( 14 \, \text{m/s} \). Determine how long it takes the rock to hit the ground.
Which statements are not valid for a projectile? Take up as positive.
A boat can row across a still \( 1 \, \text{km} \) wide river at a maximum speed of \( 5 \, \text{km/hr} \). If a current of \( 4 \, \text{km/hr} \) flows east as you try to directly cross the river, how long would it take?
A car slows down uniformly from a speed of \( 28.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) to rest in \( 8.00 \) \( \text{s} \). How far did it travel in that time?
Which of the following do not affect the maximum speed that a car can drive in a circle? Choose all correct answers.
A solid sphere \( I = 0.06 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \) spins freely around an axis through its center at an angular speed of \( 20 \, \text{rad/s} \). It is desired to bring the sphere to rest by applying a friction force of magnitude \( 2.0 \, \text{N} \) to the sphere’s outer surface, a distance of \( 0.30 \, \text{m} \) from the sphere’s center. How much time will it take the sphere to come to rest?
A \(0.5 \, \text{mm}\) wire made of carbon and manganese can just barely support the weight of a \(70.0 \, \text{kg}\) person that is holding on vertically. Suppose this wire is used to lift a \(45.0 \, \text{kg}\) load. What maximum vertical acceleration can be achieved without breaking the wire?
A cannon fires projectiles on a flat range at a fixed speed but with variable angle. The maximum range of the cannon is \(L\). What is the range of the cannon when it fires at an angle of \(30^\circ\) above the horizontal? Ignore air resistance.
A \( 240 \) \( \text{kg} \) block is dropped from \( 3.0 \) meters onto a spring, compresses the spring and comes to rest.
A moderate force will break an egg. However, an egg dropped on the road usually breaks, while one dropped on the grass usually does not break because for the egg dropped on the grass:

In which of these cases is the rate of change of the particle’s displacement constant?
