A \(6 \, \text{kg}\) cube rests against a compressed spring with a force constant of \(1{,}800 \, \text{N/m}\), initially compressed by \(0.3 \, \text{m}\). Upon release, the cube slides on a horizontal surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of \(\mu_k = 0.12\) for \(3 \, \text{m}\), then ascends a \(12^\circ\) slope, stopping after \(4.5 \, \text{m}\). Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction on the slope.
The \( 70 \) \( \text{kg} \) student in the figure balances a \( 1200 \) \( \text{kg} \) elephant on a hydraulic lift. Assume that it is filled with oil, which is incompressible and has a density \( \rho = 900 \) \( \text{kg/m}^3 \). What is the diameter of the piston the student is standing on? Assume each piston has a cylindrical shape, i.e., a circular cross-sectional area. Note: The two pistons are at the same height. Also, the diameter of the wider piston is given in the figure to be \( 2.0 \) \( \text{m} \).
A \(5.5 \, \text{kg}\) block slides down a \(30^\circ\) incline that is \(2.2 \, \text{m}\) long. If \(\mu = 0.20\), what is the acceleration of the block?
A \(81 \, \text{kg}\) student dives off a \(45 \, \text{m}\) tall bridge with an \(18 \, \text{m}\) long bungee cord tied to his feet and to the bridge. You can consider the bungee cord to be a flexible spring. What spring constant must the bungee cord have for the student’s lowest point to be \(2.0 \, \text{m}\) above the water?
In a town’s water system, pressure gauges in still water at street level read \( 150 \) \( \text{kPa} \). If a pipeline connected to the system breaks and shoots water straight up, how high above the street does the water shoot?
Projectiles 1 and 2 are launched from level ground at the same time and follow the trajectories shown in the figure. Which one of the projectiles, if either, returns to the ground first, and why?
A ball is dropped from the top of a tall building. At the same instant, a second ball is thrown upward from the ground level. When the two balls pass one another, one on the way up, the other on the way down, compare the magnitudes of their acceleration:
A stone is falling at a constant velocity vertically down a tube filled with oil. Which of the following statements about the energy changes of the stone during its motion are correct?
I. The gain in kinetic energy is less than the loss in gravitational potential energy.
II. The sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energy of the stone is constant.
III. The work done by the force of gravity has the same magnitude as the work done by friction.
A 2.0 kg ball on the end of a 0.65 m long string is moving in a vertical circle. At the bottom of the circle, its speed is 4.0 m/s. Find the tension in the string.
A 1100 kg car accelerates from 32 m/s to 8.0 m/s in 4.0 sec. What amount of force was needed to slow it down?
On a strange, airless planet, a ball is thrown downward from a height of \( 17 \, \text{m} \). The ball initially travels at \( 15 \, \text{m/s} \). If the ball hits the ground in \( 1 \, \text{s} \), what is this planet’s gravitational acceleration?
A javelin thrower, of height \( 1.8 \) \( \text{m} \), throws a javelin with initial velocity of \( 26 \) \( \text{m s}^{-1} \) at \( 38^{\circ} \) to the horizontal. Calculate the time taken for the javelin to reach the ground from its maximum height. Give your answer in seconds and to an appropriate number of significant figures.
Ball 1 is dropped from rest at time \( t = 0 \) from a tower of height \( h \). At the same instant, ball 2 is launched upward from the ground with the initial speed \( v_0 \). If air resistance is negligible, at what time \( t \) will the two balls pass each other?
An adult exerts a horizontal force on a swing that is suspended by a rope of length \( L \), holding it at an angle \( \theta \) with the vertical. The child in the swing has a weight \( W \) and dimensions that are negligible. In terms of \( W \) and \( \theta \), determine:
A rocket of mass \( m \) is launched with kinetic energy \( K_0 \), from the surface of the Earth. How much less kinetic energy does the rocket have at an altitude of two Earth radii? Give your answer in terms of the gravitational constant \( G \), the mass of the Earth \( m_E \), the radius of the Earth \( R_E \), and the mass of the rocket?
Four forces are exerted on a disk of radius \( R \) that is free to spin about its center, as shown above. The magnitudes are proportional to the length of the force vectors, where \( F_1 = F_4 \), \( F_2 = F_3 \), and \( F_1 = 2F_2 \). Which two forces combine to exert zero net torque on the disk?
A boy of mass \( m \) and a girl of mass \( 2m \) are initially at rest at the center of a frozen pond. They push each other so that she slides to the left at speed \( v \) across the frictionless ice surface and he slides to the right. What is the total work done by the children?
In the absence of air resistance, a projectile is launched from and returns to ground level and has a range of \( 23 \, \text{m} \). Suppose the launch speed is doubled, and the projectile is fired at the same angle above the ground. What is the new range?
A car is heading rightward but accelerating to the left. This means the car is:
A \(1.5 \, \text{kg}\) object is located at a distance of \(1.7 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m}\) from the center of a larger object whose mass is \(7.4 \times 10^{22} \, \text{kg}\).
A sphere of mass \(0.5\) \(\text{kg}\) is dropped into a column of oil. At the instant the sphere becomes completely submerged in the oil, the sphere is moving downward at \(8\) \(\text{m/s}\), the buoyancy force on the sphere is \(4.0\) \(\text{N}\), and the fluid frictional force is \(4.0\) \(\text{N}\). Which of the following describes the motion of the sphere at this instant?
On a harsh winter day, a \( 1500 \) \( \text{kg} \) vehicle takes a circular banked exit ramp (radius \( R = 150 \) \( \text{m} \); banking angle of \( 10^\circ \)) at a speed of \( 30 \) \( \text{mph} \), since the speed limit is \( 35 \) \( \text{mph} \). However, the exit ramp is completely iced up (frictionless). To make matters worse, a wind is blowing parallel to the ramp in a downward direction. The wind exerts a force of \( 3000 \) \( \text{N} \). Under these conditions, can the driver continue to follow a safe horizontal circle on the exit ramp and stay below the speed limit?
To convert \( \text{mph} \) into \( \text{m/s} \), use \( 1 \) \( \text{mi} = 1607 \) \( \text{m} \) and \( 1 \) \( \text{hr} = 3600 \) \( \text{s} \).
