The large piston in a hydraulic lift has a radius of \( 250 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \). What force must be applied to the small piston with a radius of \( 25 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \) in order to raise a car of mass \( 1500 \) \( \text{kg} \)?
A rubber ball bounces on the ground. After each bounce, the ball reaches one-half the height of the bounce before it. If the time the ball was in the air between the first and second bounce was 1 second. What would be the time between the second and third bounce?
Vector \( V_1 \) is \( 6.0 \) units long and points along the negative \( y \) axis. Vector \( V_2 \) is \( 4.5 \) units long and points at \( +45^{\circ} \) to the positive \( x \) axis.
Two identical metal balls are being held side by side at the top of a ramp. Alex lets one ball, \( A \), start rolling down the hill. A few seconds later, Alex’s partner, Bob, starts the second ball, \( B \), down the hill by giving it a push. Ball \( B \) rolls down the hill along a line parallel to the path of the first ball and passes it. At the instant ball \( B \) passes ball \( A \):
A karate master is about to split a piece of wood with her hand. Select all she must do in order to deliver the maximum force to split the wood.
The two blocks of masses \( M \) and \( 2M \) travel at the same speed \( v \) but in opposite directions. They collide and stick together. How much mechanical energy is lost to other forms of energy during the collision?
A 1100 kg car accelerates from 32 m/s to 8.0 m/s in 4.0 sec. What amount of force was needed to slow it down?
A soccer ball is kicked horizontally off an 85-meter high cliff, at a speed of 34 m/s. What was the ball’s final speed when it hit the ground below?
Which pulls harder gravitationally, the Earth on the Moon, or the Moon on the Earth? Which accelerates more?
A cart begins to move from rest on a horizontal track. Which of the following correctly indicates the magnitude of the average velocity of the cart during the interval shown and provides a valid explanation?
Hint: when solving this, its consider that the area of the acceleration vs time graph tells you the change in velocity.
A kickball is rolled by the pitcher at a speed of 10 m/s and it is kicked by another student. The kickball deforms a little during the kick, and then rebounds with a velocity of 15 m/s as its shape restores to a perfect sphere. Select all that must be true about the kickball and the kicking foot system.
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 \( \mu \). At time \( t = 0 \), the rod has an initial counterclockwise angular velocity \( \omega_i \) about \( P \). The system is gradually brought to rest by friction.
Derive expressions for the following quantities in terms of \( \mu \), \( m \), \( x \), \( g \), and \( \omega_i \).
