A hungry bear weighing 700 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam. The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 6.00 m long. The goodies weigh 80 N.
While traveling in its elliptical orbit around the Sun, Mars gains speed during the part of the orbit where it is getting closer to the Sun. Which of the following can be used to explain this gain in speed?
An object at rest suddenly explodes into two fragments (\(m_1\) and \(m_2\)) by an explosion. Fragment \(m_1\) acquires \(3\) times the kinetic energy of the other. What is the ratio of \(m_1\) to \(m_2\)?
A red car, initially at rest, travels east with an acceleration of \( 3.5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). At the same time as the red car starts to move, a blue car is traveling west at \( 15 \, \text{m/s} \) and accelerating at \( 1.2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). If they are \( 600 \, \text{m} \) apart the moment the red car starts to move and they are traveling towards each other, where and when will they meet?
A box is sliding down an incline at a constant speed of \( 2 \) \( \text{m s}^{-1} \). The angle of the incline is \( \theta \). The magnitude of the total of the opposing forces is \( 16 \) \( \text{N} \). What is the force of gravity acting on the box?
A \(10 \, \text{kg}\) box is pushed to the right by an unknown force at an angle of \(25^\circ\) below the horizontal while a friction force of \(50 \, \text{N}\) acts on the box as well. The box accelerates from rest and travels a distance of \(4 \, \text{m}\) where it is moving at \(3 \, \text{m/s}\).
A marble is thrown horizontally with a speed of \(15 \, \text{m/s}\) from the top of a building. When it strikes the ground, the marble has a velocity that makes an angle of \(65^\circ\) with the horizontal. From what height above the ground was the marble thrown?
A spring in a pogo-stick is compressed \( 12 \) \( \text{cm} \) when a \( 40. \) \( \text{kg} \) girl stands on it. What is the spring constant for the pogo-stick spring?

A small block moving with a constant speed \(v\) collides inelastically with a block \(M\) attached to one end of a spring \(k\). The other end of the spring is connected to a stationary wall. Ignore friction between the blocks and the surface.

A \(20 \, \text{g}\) piece of clay moving at a speed of \(50 \, \text{m/s}\) strikes a \(500 \, \text{g}\) pendulum bob at rest. The length of a string is \(0.8 \, \text{m}\). After the collision, the clay-bob system starts to oscillate as a simple pendulum.
A \( 60 \ \text{kg} \) person is riding in an elevator. At time \( t_1 \), the elevator is accelerating downward with a magnitude of \( 2 \ \text{m/s}^2 \). A short time later, at time \( t_2 \), the elevator is accelerating upward with a magnitude of \( 2 \ \text{m/s}^2 \). The ratio of the normal force exerted by the elevator on the person at time \( t_1 \) to that at time \( t_2 \) is most nearly
A centrifuge accelerates uniformly from rest to 15,000 rpm in 240 s. Through how many revolutions did it turn in this time?
Johnny the auto mechanic is raising a \( 1200 \) \( \text{kg} \) car on her hydraulic lift so that she can work underneath. If the area of the input piston is \( 12 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \), while the output piston has an area of \( 700 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \), what force must be exerted on the input piston to lift the car?

The figure shows a truck pulling three crates across a rough road. Which of the following best describes the directions of all the horizontal forces acting on crate 2?
A student is running at her top speed of \( 5.0 \, \text{m/s} \) to catch a bus, which is stopped at the bus stop. When the student is still \( 40.0 \, \text{m} \) from the bus, it starts to pull away, moving with a constant acceleration of \( 0.170 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).
A rocket launches upward by expelling exhaust gases downward. This is an illustration of Newton’s ____ Law.
Two thin coins are made from identically the same metal, but one coin has triple the diameter of the other. What is the ratio of the moment of inertia of the large coin compared to the small coin? Take the axis of rotation to be perpendicular to the coin and through its center; assume that the coins have the same thickness. Hint: The moment of inertia of a solid disk about its center is \(\frac{1}{2} M R^{2}\).
A car is driving to the right at \( 20 \) \( \text{m/s} \). A motorcycle starts \( 30 \) \( \text{m} \) behind the car and is moving at \( 30 \) \( \text{m/s} \) in the same direction.
A disk of known radius and rotational inertia can rotate without friction in a horizontal plane around its fixed central axis. The disk has a cord of negligible mass wrapped around its edge. The disk is initially at rest, and the cord can be pulled to make the disk rotate. Which of the following procedures would best determine the relationship between applied torque and the resulting change in angular momentum of the disk?

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 \(v_1\)/\(v_2\) of the speed of the comet at position 1 to the speed at position 2?
A car decelerates from \( 25 \, \text{m/s} \) to \( 5 \, \text{m/s} \) at \( 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \). How far does the car travel during this deceleration?
If an elephant were chasing you, its enormous mass would be most threatening. But if you zigzagged, its mass would be to your advantage. Why?
A \(15 \, \text{g}\) marble moves to the right at \(3.5 \, \text{m/s}\) and makes an elastic head-on collision with a \(22 \, \text{g}\) marble. The final velocity of the \(22 \, \text{g}\) marble is \(2.0 \, \text{m/s}\) to the right, and the final velocity of the \(15 \, \text{g}\) marble is \(5.4 \, \text{m/s}\) to the left. What was the initial velocity of the \(22 \, \text{g}\) marble?
A uniform stick has length \( L \). The moment of inertia about the center of the stick is \( I_0 \). A particle of mass \( M \) is attached to one end of the stick. The moment of inertia of the combined system about the center of the stick is
