A \(1 \, \text{kg}\) mass and an unknown mass \(M\) hang on opposite sides of a pulley suspended from the ceiling. When the masses are released, \(M\) accelerates downward at \(5 \, \text{m/s}^2\). Find the value of \(M\).
A block of mass \(m\) is accelerated across a rough surface by a force of magnitude \(F\) exerted at an angle \(\theta\) above the horizontal. The frictional force between the block and surface is \(f\). Find the acceleration of the block (as an equation).
Ball \(A\) of mass \(m\) is dropped from a building of height \(H\). Ball \(B\) of mass \(1.7 \, \text{m}\) is dropped from a building of height \(1.7H\). Using energy, what the ratio of \(v_A\) to \(v_B\) (final velocity of ball \(A\) to final velocity of ball \(B\)). Air resistance is negligible.
A \( 50 \, \text{kg} \) person is sitting on a seesaw \( 1.2 \, \text{m} \) from the balance point. On the other side, a \( 70 \, \text{kg} \) person is balanced. How far from the balance point is the second person sitting?
Consider a rigid body that is rotating. Which of the following is an accurate statement?
A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular to each other, at \( 18 \) \( \text{m/s} \). The third piece has \( 2.5 \) times the mass as the other two.
Two masses, \( m_y = 32 \) \( \text{kg} \) and \( m_z = 38 \) \( \text{kg} \), are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley. The pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius \( R = 0.311 \) \( \text{m} \) and mass \( 3.1 \) \( \text{kg} \). Initially, \( m_y \) is on the ground and \( m_z \) rests \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \) above the ground.

A 0.4 kg object is attached to a horizontal spring undergoes SHM with the total energy of 0.2 J. The potential energy as a function of position presented by the graph.
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.
A student kicks a soccer ball. The ball exerts a force back on the student’s foot. Why doesn’t the student’s foot accelerate backward as much as the ball accelerates forward?
Two uniform disks have the same mass but different radii: disk \( 1 \) has a radius \( R \) and disk \( 2 \) has a radius \( 2R \). What is the ratio of the moment of inertia of the first disk to the second disk?

From the top of a \( 74.0 \) \( \text{m} \) high building, a \( 1.00 \) \( \text{kg} \) ball is dropped in the presence of air resistance. The ball reaches the ground with a speed of \( 31.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \), indicating that drag was significant. How much energy was lost in the form of air resistance/drag during the fall?
A golfer hits a shot to a green that is elevated \(2.80 \, \text{m}\) above the point where the ball is struck. The ball leaves the club at a speed of \(18.9 \, \text{m/s}\) at an angle of \(52.0^\circ\) above the horizontal. It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.
An object of mass 2 kg is thrown vertically downwards with an initial kinetic energy of 100 J. What is the distance fallen by the object at the instant when its kinetic energy has doubled?
A platform is initially rotating on smooth ice with negligible friction, as shown above. A stationary disk is dropped directly onto the center of the platform. A short time later, the disk and platform rotate together at the same angular velocity, as shown at right in the figure. How does the angular momentum of only the platform change, if at all, after the disk drops? And what is the best justification.
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?
A 135.0 N force is applied to a 30.0 kg box at 42 degree angle to the horizontal. If the force of friction is 85.0, what is the net force and acceleration? If the object starts from rest, how far has it traveled in 3.3 sec?
A driver is traveling at a speed of \( 18.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) when she sees a red light ahead. Her car is capable of decelerating at a rate of \( 3.65 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \). If it takes her \( 0.350 \) \( \text{s} \) to get the brakes on and she is \( 20.0 \) \( \text{m} \) from the intersection when she sees the light, will she be able to stop in time?
