When a fan is turned off, its angular speed decreases from 10 rad/s to 6.3 rad/s in 5.0 s. What is the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the fan?
A [katex] 2.2 \times 10^{21} \, \text{kg}[/katex] moon orbits a distant planet in a circular orbit of radius [katex] 1.5 \times 10^8 \, \text{m}[/katex]. It experiences a [katex] 1.1 \times 10^{19} \, \text{N}[/katex] gravitational pull from the planet. What is the moon’s orbital period in earth days?
A 0.035 kg bullet moving horizontally at 350 m/s embeds itself into an initially stationary 0.55 kg block. Air resistance is negligible.
Priscilla the Penguin stands at the edge of a rock ledge and tosses a small ice cube directly upward with an initial velocity of \( v_0 \). The ice cube’s initial height above the ground is \( 3.25 \, \text{m} \), and it reaches its maximum height above the ground \( 0.586 \, \text{s} \) after being thrown. The ice cube then plummets to the ground, missing the edge of the rock ledge on its way down.
The International Space Station has a mass of 4.2 x105 kg and orbits Earth at a distance of 4.0 x102 km above the surface. Earth has a radius of 6.37 x106 m, and mass of 5.97 x1024 kg. Calculate the following:
Why do raindrops fall with constant speed during the later stages of their descent?
A person is making homemade ice cream. She exerts a force of magnitude 23 N on the free end of the crank handle on the ice-cream maker, and this end moves on a circular path of radius 0.25 m. The force is always applied parallel to the motion of the handle. If the handle is turned once every 1.7 s, what is the average power being expended?
A car travels at \( 20 \, \text{m/s} \) for 5 minutes and then travels another 2 km at \( 40 \, \text{m/s} \). What is the total distance traveled and time of travel for the car?
A solid sphere ([katex] I = \frac{2}{5}MR^2[/katex]) and a solid cylinder ([katex] I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2[/katex]), both uniform and of the same mass and radius, roll without slipping at the same forward speed. It is correct to say that the total kinetic energy of the solid sphere is
The heaviest train ever pulled by a single engine was over [katex] 2 \, \text{km} [/katex] long. A force of [katex] 1.13 \times 10^5 \, \text{N} [/katex] is needed to get the train to start moving. If the coefficient of static friction is [katex] 0.741 [/katex] and the coefficient of kinetic friction is [katex] .592 [/katex], what is the train’s mass?
A spring launches a 4 kg block across a frictionless horizontal surface. The block then ascends a 30° incline with a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.25, stopping after 55 m on the incline. If the spring constant is 800 N/m, find the initial compression of the spring. Disregard friction while in contact with the spring.
A uniform ladder with mass \( m_2 \) and length \( L \) rests against a smooth wall. A do-it-yourself enthusiast of mass \( m_1 \) stands on the ladder a distance \( d \) from the bottom (measured along the ladder). The ladder makes an angle \( \theta \) with the ground. There is no friction between the wall and the ladder, but there is a frictional force of magnitude \( f \) between the floor and the ladder. \( N_1 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the wall on the ladder, and \( N_2 \) is the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the ground on the ladder. Throughout the problem, consider counterclockwise torques to be positive.
