MCQ

A lighter car and a heavier truck, each traveling to the right with the same speed [katex] v [/katex] hit their brakes. The retarding frictional force F on both cars turns out to be constant and the same. After both vehicles travel a distance [katex] D [/katex] (and both are still moving), which of the following statements is true?

MCQ

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° above the horizontal? Ignore air resistance.

One end of a spring is attached to a solid wall while the other end just reaches to the edge of a horizontal, frictionless tabletop, which is a distance [katex] h [/katex] above the floor. A block of mass M is placed against the end of the spring and pushed toward the wall until the spring has been compressed a distance [katex] x [/katex]. The block is released and strikes the floor a horizontal distance [katex] D [/katex] from the edge of the table. Air resistance is negligible.

Derive an expressions for the following quantities only in terms of [katex] M, x, D, h, [/katex] and any constants.

A boat is rowed directly upriver at a speed of \(2.5 \, \text{m/s}\) relative to the water. Viewers on the shore find that it is moving at only \(0.5 \, \text{m/s}\) relative to the shore. What is the speed of the river? Is it moving with or against the boat?

An object of unknown mass is acted upon by multiple forces:

  • 100 N to the right at 20°
  • 400 N to the left at 40° below the horizontal
  • 500 N to the right at 10° below horizontal.

The coefficients of friction are μs=0.6 and μk=0.2. Starting from rest, the object travels 10 meters in 4.5 seconds. What is the mass of the unknown object?
