A boy and a girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy has a mass of \(60 \, \text{kg}\) and the girl’s mass is \(50 \, \text{kg}\). If the boy sits \(1.5 \, \text{m}\) from the pivot point on one side of the seesaw, where must the girl sit on the other side for equilibrium?
A 2.0 kg wood box slides down a vertical wood wall while you push on it at a 45 ° angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction of wood µk = 0.200. What magnitude of force should you apply to cause the box to slide down at a constant speed?
Water flowing in a horizontal pipe speeds up as it goes from a section with a large diameter to a section with a small diameter. Which of the following can explain why the speed of the water increases?
The side of an above-ground pool is punctured, and water gushes out through the hole. If the total depth of the pool is \( 2.5 \) \( \text{m} \), and the puncture is \( 1 \) \( \text{m} \) above the ground level, what is the efflux speed of the water?
A high-speed drill rotating counterclockwise at \( 2400 \) \( \text{rpm} \) comes to a halt in \( 2.5 \) \( \text{s} \).
A solid sphere \( I = 0.06 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2 \) spins freely around an axis through its center at an angular speed of \( 20 \, \text{rad/s} \). It is desired to bring the sphere to rest by applying a friction force of magnitude \( 2.0 \, \text{N} \) to the sphere’s outer surface, a distance of \( 0.30 \, \text{m} \) from the sphere’s center. How much time will it take the sphere to come to rest?
A car travels at \( 20 \, \text{m/s} \) for \( 5 \, \text{mins} \) and then travels another \( 2 \, \text{km} \) at \( 40 \, \text{m/s} \). What is the total distance traveled and time of travel for the car?
A uniform rod of length \( L \) and mass \( M \) is free to rotate about one end, as shown in the diagram. The free end is released from rest at a horizontal position, as shown. The pivot point is supported by a stand so that only the free end can move. The moment of inertia of a rod about its end is \(\tfrac{1}{3} M L^{2}\).
At time \( t = 0 \) an object is traveling to the right along the \( +x \) axis at a speed of \( 10.0 \) \( \text{m/s} \) with acceleration \( -2.0 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \). Which statement is true?
A moderate force will break an egg. However, an egg dropped on the road usually breaks, while one dropped on the grass usually does not break because for the egg dropped on the grass:
A grinding wheel is in the form of a uniform solid disk of radius \( 7.00 \) \( \text{cm} \) and mass \( 2.00 \) \( \text{kg} \). It starts from rest and accelerates uniformly under the action of the constant torque of \( 0.600 \) \( \text{N m} \) that the motor exerts on the wheel.
An 80 kg person sits in a swing that goes around in a circle. The chain connecting the swing to the center of the ride is 8 m long and it makes and angle of 40° with the horizontal. What is the speed of the person going around in a circle?
