An object of unknown mass is acted upon by multiple forces:

  • 100 N to the right at 20°
  • 400 N to the left at 40° below the horizontal
  • 500 N to the right at 10° below horizontal.

The coefficients of friction are μs=0.6 and μk=0.2. Starting from rest, the object travels 10 meters in 4.5 seconds. What is the mass of the unknown object?

A 4 kg mass is traveling at 10 m/s to the right when it collides inelastically with a stationary 7 kg mass. The 7 kg mass then travels at 2m/s at an angle of 22° below the horizontal. What are the velocity and the angle of the 4 kg mass?

A boat is rowed directly upriver at a speed of \(2.5 \, \text{m/s}\) relative to the water. Viewers on the shore find that it is moving at only \(0.5 \, \text{m/s}\) relative to the shore. What is the speed of the river? Is it moving with or against the boat?

A horizontal uniform rod of length L and mass M is pivoted at one end and is initially at rest. A small ball of mass M (same masses) is attached to the other end of the rod. The system is released from rest. What is the angular acceleration of the rod just immediately after the system is released?

On a harsh winter day, a 1500 kg vehicle takes a circular banked exit ramp (radius R = 150 m; banking angle of 10 degrees) at a speed of 30 mph, since the speed limit is 35 mph. However, the exit ramp is completely iced up (= frictionless). To make matters worse, a wind is blowing parallel to the ramp in a downward direction. The wind exerts a force of 3000 N. Under these conditions, can the driver continue to follow a safe horizontal circle on the exit ramp and stay below the speed limit? To convert mph into m/s use 1 mi = 1607 m and 1 hr is 3600 s.

A baseball is tossed from street level by a student straight up at a speed of \(25.3 \text{ m/s}\). After reaching maximum height, it is caught by another student on the roof of a building, \(17.4 \text{ m}\) above the street. How long did this take?

It takes 4 seconds for an individual to push a 70 kg box up a 5m long, 12° ramp. The box starts from rest and achieves a speed of 2.5 m/s at the top. Friction does 350 J of work during its ascent. Calculate the power output of the individual pushing the box.
