On a strange, airless planet, a ball is thrown downward from a height of \( 17 \, \text{m} \). The ball initially travels at \( 15 \, \text{m/s} \). If the ball hits the ground in \( 1 \, \text{s} \), what is this planet’s gravitational acceleration?
A system consists of two small disks, of masses m and 2m, attached to ends of a rod of negligible mass of length 3x. The rod is free to turn about a vertical axis through point P. The first mass, m, is located x away from point P, and therefore the other mass, of 2m, is 2x from point P. The two disks rest on a rough horizontal surface; the coefficient of friction between the disks and the surface is . At time t = 0, the rod has an initial counterclockwise angular velocity ωi about P. The system is gradually brought to rest by friction.
Derive an expressions for the following quantities in terms of µ, m, x, g, and ωi.
Two blocks of ice, one five times as heavy as the other, are at rest on a frozen lake. A person then pushes each block the same distance d. Ignore friction and assume that an equal force F is exerted on each block. Which of the following statements is true about the kinetic energy of the heavier block after the push?
Alcohol has a specific gravity of \( 0.79 \). If a barometer consisting of an open-ended tube placed in a dish of alcohol is used at sea level, to what height in the tube will the alcohol rise?
A coffee cup on the dashboard of a car slides forward when the driver decelerates from \( \frac{45 \, \text{km}}{\text{h}} \) to rest in \( 3.5 \) seconds or less. What is the coefficient of static friction between the cup and the dash? Assume the road and the dashboard are level (horizontal).
Angular momentum cannot be conserved if
An object undergoing simple harmonic motion has a maximum displacement of \( 6.2 \) \( \text{m} \) at \( t = 0.0 \) \( \text{s} \). If the angular frequency of oscillation is \( 1.6 \) \( \text{rad/s} \), what is the object’s displacement when \( t = 3.5 \) \( \text{s} \)?
What condition(s) are necessary for static equilibrium?
The graph above shows the angular velocity of a spinning wheel (radius = \( 25 \) \( \text{cm} \)) as a function of time.
The figure shows a truck pulling three crates across a rough road. Which of the following best describes the directions of all the horizontal forces acting on crate 2?
A seagull first flies \( 160 \, \text{m} \) North, then heads \( 120.65 \, \text{m} \) at \( 18.43^\circ \) North of West. After it lands:
A block sliding down an frictionless inclined plane is experiencing both gravitational and normal forces; which force’s magnitude changes when the angle of the incline is increased?
