MCQ

A girl throws a stone from a bridge. Consider the following ways she might throw the stone. The speed of the stone as it leaves her hand is the same in each case.

Case A: Thrown straight up.

Case B: Thrown straight down.

Case C: Thrown out at an angle of 45° above horizontal.

Case D: Thrown straight out horizontally.

In which case will the speed of the stone be greatest when it hits the water below if there is no significant air resistance, assuming equal initial speeds?

If I weigh \( 741 \) \( \text{N} \) on Earth at a place where \( g = 9.80 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \) and \( 5320 \) \( \text{N} \) on the surface of another planet, what is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet?

A car is safely negotiating an unbanked circular turn at a speed of 21 m/s. The road is dry, and the maximum static frictional force acts on the tires. Suddenly a wet patch in the road decreases the maximum static frictional force to one-third its dry road value. If the car is to continue safely around the curve, to what speed must the driver slow the car?

A soccer ball with an initial height of \(1.5 \, \text{m}\) above the ground is launched at an angle of \(30^\circ\) above the horizontal. The soccer ball travels a horizontal distance of \(45 \, \text{m}\) to a \(9.0 \, \text{m}\) high castle wall, and passes over \(3.20 \, \text{m}\) above the highest point of the wall. Assume air resistance is negligible.
