A 20 g piece of clay moving at a speed of 50 m/s strikes a 500 g pendulum bob at rest. The length of a string is 0.8 m. After the collision the clay-bob system starts to oscillate as a simple pendulum.
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 m/s. The third piece has 2.5 times the mass as the other two.
The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 5.0 rev/s in 8.0 s. At this point, the person doing the laundry opens the lid, and a safety switch turns off the washer. The tub slows to rest in 12.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the tub turn during the entire 20-s interval? Assume constant angular acceleration while it is starting and stopping.
An elevator of height \(h\) ascends with constant acceleration \(a\). When it crosses a platform, it has acquired a velocity \(u\). At this instant a bolt drops from the top of the elevator. Find the time for the bolt to hit the floor of the elevator. Give your answer in terms of \(h\), \(a\), and any constant.
A rubber ball with a mass of 0.25 kg and a speed of 19.0 m/s collides perpendicularly with a wall and bounces off with a speed of 21 m/s in the opposite direction. What is the magnitude of the impulse acting on the rubber ball?
Two masses, my = 32 kg and mg = 38 kg, are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley. The pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius R = 0.311 m and mass 3.1 kg. Initially my is on the ground and mg rests 2.5 m above the ground. If the system is released, use conservation of energy to determine the speed of me just before it strikes the ground. Assume the pulley bearing is frictionless.
A 25.0-kg box is released on a 23.5° incline and accelerates down the incline at 0.35 m/s2. Find the friction force impeding its motion. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?
A speed skater goes around a turn that has a radius of 31 m. The skater has a speed of 14 m/s and experiences a centripetal force of 460 N. What is the mass of the skater?
An astronaut initially at rest in space throws a wrench, and recoils in the opposite direction. Select all that is true.
A car is driving at \(25 \, \text{m/s}\) when a light turns red \(100 \, \text{m}\) ahead. The driver takes an unknown amount of time to react and hit the brakes, but manages to skid to a stop at the red light. If \(\mu_s = 0.9\) and \(\mu_k = 0.65\), what was the reaction time of the driver?
A 15 g marble moves to the right at 3.5 m/s and makes an elastic head-on collision with a 22-g marble. The final velocity of the 22 g marble is 2.0 m/s to the right, and the final velocity of the 15 g marble is 5.4 m/s to the left. What was the initial velocity of the 22 g marble?
A bald eagle in level flight at a height of \(35 \, \text{m}\) drops the fish it caught. If the eagle’s speed is \(25.0 \, \text{m/s}\) how far from the drop point will the fish land?
