A 150-kg merry-go-round in the shape of a uniform, solid, horizontal disk of radius 1.50 m is set in motion by wrapping a rope about the rim of the disk and pulling on the rope.
What constant force must be exerted on the rope to bring the merry-go-round from rest to an angular speed of 0.500 rev/s in 2.00 s?
Note: \( I_\text{disk} = \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \)
A blue ball is thrown upward with a velocity of \( 9 \) \( \text{m/s} \) upward from the top of a high cliff. At the same time, a red ball is dropped from the same spot. The red ball is observed to hit the ground below exactly \( 1 \) \( \text{s} \) before the blue ball. How high is the cliff?
A bird, traveling at \(50 \, \text{m/s}\) wants to hit a man \(100 \, \text{m}\) below with a dropping. How far in distance before flying directly over the man should the bird release it?
A uniform, solid, \( 100 \) \( \text{kg} \) cylinder with a diameter of \( 1.0 \) \( \text{m} \) is mounted so it is free to rotate about a fixed, horizontal, frictionless axis that passes through the centers of its circular ends. A \( 10 \) \( \text{kg} \) block is hung from a very light, thin cord wrapped around the cylinder’s circumference. When the block is released, the cord unwinds and the block accelerates downward. What is the acceleration of the block?
A system of two wheels fixed to each other is free to rotate about a frictionless axis through the common center of the wheels and perpendicular to the page. Four forces are exerted tangentially to the rims of the wheels, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the net torque on the system about the axis is
Two racing boats set out from the same dock and speed away at the same constant speed of \(101 \, \text{km/h}\) for half an hour (\(0.5 \, \text{hr}\)). Boat 1 is headed \(27.6^\circ\) south of west, and Boat 2 is headed \(35.3^\circ\) south of west, as shown in the graph above. During this half-hour calculate:
On Saturday, Ashley rode her bicycle to visit Maria. Maria’s house is directly east of Ashley’s. The graph shows how far Ashley was from her house after each minute of her trip. (Hint – Use the standard units of velocity \(\text{m/s}\) for all parts)
You are standing on a bathroom scale in an elevator. The elevator starts from rest on the first floor and accelerates up to the third floor, \(12 \, \text{m}\) above, in a time of \(6 \, \text{s}\). The scale reads \(800 \, \text{N}\). What is the mass of the person?
A karate master is about to split a piece of wood with her hand. Select all she must do in order to deliver the maximum force to split the wood.
Block 2 initially is at rest. Block 1 travels towards block 2 and collides with Block 2 as shown above. Find the final velocities of both blocks assuming the collision is elastic.
A ball of mass \( m \) is suspended from two strings of unequal length as shown above. The magnitudes of the tensions \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) in the strings must satisfy which of the following relations?
One ball is dropped vertically from a window. At the same instant, a second ball is thrown horizontally from the same window. Which ball has the greater speed at ground level?
A block of mass \( 0.5 \) \( \text{kg} \) is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of \( 150 \) \( \text{N/m} \). The block is released from rest at position \( x = 0.05 \) \( \text{m} \), as shown, and undergoes simple harmonic motion, reaching a maximum position of \( x = 0.1 \) \( \text{m} \). The speed of the block when it passes through position \( x = 0.09 \) \( \text{m} \) is most nearly
The driver of a car makes an emergency stop by slamming on the car’s brakes and skidding to a stop. How far would the car have skidded if it had been traveling twice as fast?
A proton (mp = 1.67 x10-27 kg) is being accelerated along a straight line at 3.6 ×1015 m/s2 in a machine. The proton has an initial speed of 2.4 x107 m/s and travels 3.5 cm.
A small sphere hangs from a string attached to the ceiling of a uniformly accelerating train car. It is observed that the string makes an angle of \(37^\circ\) with respect to the vertical. The magnitude of the acceleration \(a\) of the train car is most nearly:
At time \( t = 0 \), a disk starts from rest and begins spinning about its center with a constant angular acceleration of magnitude \( \alpha \). At time \( t_f \), the disk has angular speed \( \omega_f \). Which of the following expressions correctly compares the final angular displacement \( \theta_f \) of the disk at time \( t_f \) to the angular displacement \( \theta_{1/2} \) at time \( \frac{t_f}{2} \)?
A person stands on a scale in an elevator. His apparent weight will be the greatest when the elevator
Four systems are in rotational motion. Which of the following combinations of rotational inertia and angular speed for each of the systems corresponds to the greatest rotational kinetic energy?
| System | Rotational Inertia | Angular Speed |
|---|---|---|
| A | \( I_0 \) | \( \omega_0 \) |
| B | \( I_0 \) | \( 4\, \omega_0 \) |
| C | \( 2 I_0 \) | \( 2\, \omega_0 \) |
| D | \( 6 I_0 \) | \( \omega_0 \) |
An elastic cord is \( 80\) \( \text{cm} \) long when it is supporting a mass of \( 10. \) \( \text{kg} \) hanging from it at rest. When an additional \( 4.0 \) \( \text{kg} \) is added, the cord is \( 82.5 \) \( \text{cm} \) long.
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 \(2\)?
