The position of a softball tossed vertically upward is described by the equation y=c₁t-c₂t² where y is in meters, t in seconds, c₁= 3.39 m/s, and c₂= 3.04 m/s². Find its velocity at t=1.03 s.

-2.8724 m/s explanation: Let: t=1.03 s v= 3.39 m/s - 2(3.04 m/s²) (1.03 s)= -2.8724 m/s

A place kicker must kick a football from a point 32 m (about 35 yd) from the goal, and the ball must clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 24 m/s at an angle of 55° to the horizontal. To determine if the ball approaches the cross-bar while still rising or while falling, what is its vertical velocity at the crossbar?

-3.12139 m/s explanation The vertical component of the velocity is vᵧf = v₀sinθ- g∆t = v₀sinθ- g ((∆x)/v₀cosθ)) = (24 m/s)sin55° - ((9.8 m/s²)(32 m))/((24 m/s) *cos55°) = -3.12139 m/s

A book weighing 17 N is placed on a table. What is the net force on the book in this case?

0 N explanation The book is stationary, so the net force is 0

The horizontal surface on which the block of mass 3.1 kg slides is frictionless. The force of 30 N acts on the block in a horizontal direction and the force of 60 N acts on the block at an angle as shown below. LOOK AT FIGURE 14 IN GOOGLE DOC What is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration of the block? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

0 m/s² Let: F₁= 30 N F₂= 60 N α= 60° m= 3.1 kg and g= 9.8 m/s² The force F₂ has a horizontal component F₂cosα acting to the left, and the force F₁ acts to the right, so Fnet= ma= F₂cosα-F₁ =F₂cos60°-F₁ a= ((F₂)(½)-F₁)/m = (60 N *½ -30 N)/3.1 kg= 0

A(n) 85 kg block is pushed along the ceiling with a constant applied force of 1100 N that acts at an angle of 70° with the horizontal, as in the figure. The block accelerates to the right at 3.8 m/s² LOOK AT FIGURE 22 ON GOOGLE DOC The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². What is the coefficient of kinetic friction µ between the block and the ceiling?

0.26523 explanation Solving Eq. 2 for µ, we have µ= (1/N) *(Fcosθ-ma) Substitute (3) into (4) µ= (Fcosθ-ma)/(Fsinθ-mg) =((1100 N)cos70° - (85 kg)(3.8 m/s²))/((1100 N)sin70°- (85 kg)(9.8 m/s²)) = 0.26523 To check this result, let us solve for F F= ((a-µg)/(cosθ-µsinθ))*m =((3.8 m/s²)-(0.26523)(9.8 m/s²))/((cos70°-(0.26523)sin70°)) *85 kg = 1100 N

A block is released from rest on an inclined plane and moves 2.5 m during the next 4 s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². LOOK AT FIGURE 19 ON GOOGLE DOC What is the coefficient of friction µₖ for the incline?

0.310603 explanation Applying Newton's Second Law of Motion ∑F₀= ma and Eq.1 and the sine component of the weight acts down the plane and friction acts up the plane. The block slides down the plane, so ma=mg*sinθ- µₖ*mgcosθ (2l)/(t²)= g(sinθ-µₖ*cosθ) 2l= gt² (sinθ-µₖ*cosθ) µₖ= (gt²sinθ-2l)/(gt²cosθ) = tanθ - (2l)/(gt²cosθ) = tan19° - ((2*2.5 m)/((9.8 m/s²)(4 s)²*cos19)) =0.310603

A block is released from rest on an inclined plane and moves 2.5 m during the next 4 s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². LOOK AT FIGURE 19 ON GOOGLE DOC What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block?

0.3125 m/s² explanation m= 11 kg l= 2.5 m θ = 19° and t= 4 s Draw a FBD for the block The acceleration can be obtained through kinematics. Since v₀=0 l=v₀t + ½at²= ½at² a= (2l)/t² ((2(2.5 m))/(4 s)² = 0.3125 m/s²

A 4 kg block rests on a horizontal table, attached to a 2 kg block by a light string as shown in the figure. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s². LOOK AT FIGURE 21 ON GOOGLE DOC What is the minimum coefficient of static friction such that the objects remain at rest?

0.5 explanation Let: m₁= 4 kg and m₂= 2 kg In the absence of friction, the 4 kg box will move to the right, and the 2 kg box will move down, so the friction force f acts to the left. Consider the forces acting on each object from a FBD. The objects remain at rest. The mass on the table is in equilibrium vertically: ∑Fᵧ= m₁a₁ᵧ= 0 N-m₁g= 0 N=m₁g and horizontally: ∑Fₓ= m₁a₁ₓ= 0 T-f=0 T=f=µₛN= µₛm₁g The hanging mass is in equilibrium vertically: ∑Fᵧ= m₂a₂ᵧ= 0 T-m₂g=0 T=m₂g Thus T=µₛm₁g = m₂g µₛ= m₂/m₁= 2 kg/4 kg = 0.5

You are on a hike in the mountains. You have 3.06 km left to go before your next campsite. The sun will set in 5.27 h. What average speed must you walk to get to camp at sunset?

0.580645 km/h explanation: d= 3.06 km and t= 5.27 h d= rt or r=(d/t) = (3.06 km/5.27 h)= 0.580645 km/h

A box of books weighing 345 N moves with a constant velocity across the floor when it is pushed with a force of 425 N exerted downward at an angle of 35.1° below the horizontal. Find µₖ between the box and the floor.

0.589968 Fₓ= Fcosθ Fᵧ= Fsinθ Fₖ= µₖFn Parallel to the floor: Fₓnet= Fappliedₓ- Fₖ= 0 Perpendicular to the floor: Fᵧnet= Fn-Fappliedᵧ- F(g)= 0 Given: F(g)= 345 N Fapplied= 425 N θ= 35.1° Consider the forces parallel to the floor: Fₖ=Fappliedₓ =Fappliedcosθ = (425 N)cos35.1° =347.714 N Consider the forces perpendicular to the floor: Fn = F(g) +Fappliedᵧ = F(g) + Fappliedsinθ = 345 N + (425 N) sin35.1° = 589.377 N Thus the coefficient of friction is µₖ= (Fₖ)/(Fn) = (347.714 N)/(589.377 N) = 0.589968

A ball is thrown upward from the ground with an initial speed of 40 m/s; at the same instant, a ball is dropped from a building 26 m high. After how long will the balls be at the same height? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

0.65 s explanation: Let: v(up)= 40 m/s h= 26 and g=-9.8 m/s² y(down)= h+ 1/2 gt² and y(up) = v(up)*t + 1/2 gt² The two objects pass one another when y(down)=y(up) h-1/2 gt²= v(up)t-1/2 gt² h=v(up)*t t= h/v(up)= (26 m)/(40 m/s) = 0.65 s

A ball is thrown upward. LOOK AT FIGURE 5 ON GOOGLE DOC What is the time interval between the release of the ball and the time it reaches its maximum height? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² and the maximum height is 4.7 m. Neglect air resistance.

0.979379 s explanation: Consider the motion upward. Let: vf= 0 m/s Δh = 4.7 m and g= -9.8 m/s² vf= v₀ + gt = 0 v₀ = -gt and Δy=v₀t + 1/2 gt² = -gt² + 1/2 gt²= -1/2gt² t(up)= √(-2Δy/g)= √(-2(4.7 m)/-9.8 m/s²) = 0.979379 s

A block starts at the bottom of a ramp making an angle of θ with the horizontal, at initial speed v₀. As it slides up it slows due to gravity and kinetic friction, eventually coming to a stop. Static friction is not large enough to hold it at rest and it slides back down the ramp. LOOK AT FIGURE 16 ON GOOGLE DOCS When it reaches its initial position, compare its speed to the initial speed v₀. 1) Less than v₀ 2) Without knowing µₛ and µₖ we cannot state precisely how the final speed compares to v₀ 3) Even greater than v₀ because of gravity 4) Not enough information has been provided 5) The same as v₀

1) Less than v₀ explanation When the block is sliding up the plane, the force of kinetic friction and the component of the force of gravity parallel to the plane are in the same direction, so the deceleration of the block as it travels upward along the plane is large. But when the block is sliding down the plane, the force of kinetic friction is in the opposite direction to the component of the force of gravity parallel to the plane, so the net force along the plane is much less than in the case where it moves upward. As a result, since it starts from rest in sliding down the plane, it is moving slower when it reaches the bottom as compared to its initial speed starting upward.

A particle starts from rest, initially at x(0)=0, and moves with velocity vₓ(t)=Bt⁴ What is the particle's acceleration? 1) aₓ=4Bt³ 2) aₓ=B by definition 3) The acceleration is the slope of vₓ(t), but since this is not a constant, the acceleration is undefined 4) aₓ=(B/5) t⁵ 5) aₓ= (vₓ²/2x)= (B²t⁸)/(2x) when the particle is at the position x 6) None of these

1) aₓ=4Bt³ explanation: aₓ= (dvₓ)/(dt) = (d/dt)(Bt⁴)= 4Bt³

Consider a person standing in an elevator that is accelerating upward. The upward normal force N exerted by the elevator floor on the persons is 1) larger than the weight (gravitational force) of the person 2) smaller than the weight (gravitational force) of the person 3) identical to the weight (gravitational force) of the person

1) larger than the weight (gravitational force) of the person explanation According to Newton's 2nd Law, the equation of motion for the person on the elevator is N-W= ma, so N= W + ma > W

How would your mass change if you took a trip to the space station? 1) no change in mass 2) increases; you weigh more 3) decreases; you weigh less

1) no change in mass explanation Your mass never changes. You would weigh slightly less because you are farther from the center of the Earth

Assuming there is no friction, what is the maximum angle that the slope can make with the horizontal if the machine is to be able to complete the task?

1.31481° explanation Fnet= Fapplied - F₉‖= 0 F₉‖= F₉sinθ Given: Fapplied= 2.96 x 10 ² N F₉= 1.29 x 10⁴ N sinθ = Fapplied/F₉ θ= sin^-¹ (Fapplied/F₉) = sin^-¹ (296 N/12900 N) = 1.31481°

10) [c]=[L]/[T] explanation: c = (s/t) [c]=[s]/[t]= [L]/[T]

Consider a force F= 634 N pulling 3 blocks of masses m₁= 9.66 kg, m₂= 15.7 kg, and m₃= 38 kg along a frictionless horizontal surface. LOOK AT FIGURE 15 IN GOOGLE DOC Find the acceleration of the blocks

10.0063 m/s² explanation The three blocks move together as a single body, so as far as the Newton's Second Law is concerned, we may treat them as a single body of net mass Mnet= m₁ + m₂ + m₃= 63.36 kh Hence, Mneta= F(ext)= F= 634 N regardless of the internal froces T₁ and T₂, and therefore a= F/Mnet= (634 N)/(63.36 kg)= 10.0063 m/s²

A Knight of the Round Table fires off a vat of burning pitch from his catapult at 13.3 m/s, at 39⁰ above the horizontal. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². What is the horizontal component of the velocity?

A place kicker must kick a football from a point 32 m (about 35 yd) from the goal, and the ball must clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 24 m/s at an angle of 55° to the horizontal. By how much does the ball clear or fall short of clearing the crossbar? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

16.1724 m explanation Let: ∆x= 32 m v₀= 24 m/s θ= 55° hbar= 3.05 m and g= 9.8 m/s² From the horizontal motion ∆x= v₀cosθ*∆t since aₓ= 0 m/s², the time required for the ball to reach the position of the crossbar is ∆t = (∆x)/(v₀cosθ) At this time, the height of the football above the ground is ∆y= v₀sinθ*∆t-½g(∆t)² and the height above the bar is ∆h= ∆y- hbar = v₀sinθ * ((∆x)/(v₀cosθ))- ½g ((∆x)/(v₀cosθ))²- hbar = ∆x*tanθ- hbar - ((g(∆x)²/(2v₀²cos²θ)) = 32 m* tan55° - 3.05m - ((9.8 m/s²)(32 m)²)/((2(24 m/s)²*cos²55°)) =16.1724 m

LOOK AT FIGURE 10 IN GOOGLE DOC Given v₀=18.8 m/s and α= 30°, what is the speed of the projectile when it reaches its maximum height y=ymax; (i.e., at point A in the figure)?

16.2813 m/s explanation At its maximum height vᵧ= 0, thus the only component of velocity is in the x-direction. The speed is thus v=vₓ= v₀cosα = (18.8 m/s) cos30° = 16.2813 m/s

The elevators in the John Hancock building in Chicago move at 862 ft in 16 s. What is their speed?

A book weighing 17 N is placed on a table. How much support force does a table exert on the book?

17 N explanation Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. The table exerts the same force up on the book as the book exerts downward on the table.

LOOK AT FIGURE 10 IN GOOGLE DOC Find the speed of the projectile, on its way down, at the height y=(ymax)/2 (i.e., at point B in the figure)

17.5858 m/s explanation At B, v₈= √(v²ₓ₈ + v²ᵧ₈) The horizontal component of velocity is constant, so vₓ₈= v₀ₓ= v₀cosα The trick is finding vᵧ₈. Applying v²=v₀²+2as for the y-component of motion from A to B gives v²ᵧ₈= 0 + 2g (h-(h/2)) = gh We need to determine h. Applying v²=v₀²+2as for the y-component of motion from O to A gives 0=v₀²ᵧ -2gh, or h= (v₀²ᵧ)/2g Substituting Eq. 3 into Eq. 2 v²ᵧ₈= g (v₀²ᵧ/2g) = v₀²ᵧ/2 Combining Eqs. 1 and 4 gives v₈= √(v₀ₓ²+v²ᵧ₈) = √((v₀cosα)² + ½(9.4 m/s)²) = 17.5858 m/s

A Knight of the Round Table fires off a vat of burning pitch from his catapult at 13.3 m/s, at 39⁰ above the horizontal. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². How far from the catapult does it land?

17.6556 m explanation The horizontal velocity vₓ remains constant for the entire flight, so x= vₓt

You have two forces, 98.3 N and 71.8 N. What is their resultant (magnitude) if they both act downward?

A bee flies to a flower 586 m due south of its hive. The bee's speed in still air is 0.71 m/s, and there is a wind blowing toward the south at 0.19 m/s. How long will it take the bee to travel to the flower and back to the hive?

1778.03 s explanation The wind helps the bee fly faster on the downtrip than on the return trip. The time to go to the flower is given by twith = Swith/vwith = s/ (vbee + vwind) The wind slows the bee on the return trip, so the time for the return trip is tagainst = Sagainst/vagainst= s/ (vbee-vwind) The total time is t= twith + tagainst

A car is traveling at 53.4 mi/h on a horizontal highway. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². If the coefficient of friction between road and tires on a rainy day is 0.15, what is the minimum distance in which the car will stop? (1 mi = 1.609 km)

193.751 m explanation Using that the frictional force acts in the opposite direction of the velocity and is given by, fₖ= µₖN and the normal force N = mg as the car is moving on a horizontal road, we apply Newton's second law in the direction of motion which gives -fₖ= -µₖ*mg= ma Solving for a a=-µₖg The acceleration a may be found from the following kinematics equation with v(final)= 0: v(final)²= v₀²+2ax a= (-v₀²)/(2x) Combining equations (1) and (2), we obtain (v₀²)/(2x)= µₖg or solving for x, x= (v₀²)/(2µₖg) Plugging in the appropriate values, x(wet)= (23.8669 m/s)²/((2(0.15)(9.8 m/s²))= 193.751 m

2) 20 m explanation: The particle moved from 40 m to 20 m, so Δd= 40 m - 20 m= 20 m

A 500-kilogram sports car accelerates uniformly from rest, reaching a speed of 30 meters per second in 6 seconds. What distance has the car traveled during the 6 seconds? 1) 30 m 2) 90 m 3) 15 m 4) 180 m 5) 60 m

2) 90 m explanation: Let: vf= 30 m/s and t=6 s Since v₀= 0 and s₀= 0, vf= v₀ + at= at a = (vf/t) s=s₀t + v₀t + 1/2at²= 1/2at²= 1/2 (vf/t)*t²= 1/2*vft = 1/2*(30 m/s)(6 s) = 90 m

Identify the action-reaction pairs when a base-ball is being hit 1) Action: bat hits ball Reaction: ball hits the player 2) Action: bat hits ball Reaction: ball hits bat 3) Action: ball hits bat Reaction: bat hits the player 4) None of these 5) Action: ball hits bat Reaction: bat pushes the arm of the player

2) Action: bat hits ball Reaction: ball hits bat explanation As the bat hits the ball, the ball also hits the bat; this forms an action-reaction pair

A child throws a steel ball straight up. Consider the motion of the ball after it has left the child's hand but before it touches the ground, and assume that forces exerted by the air are negligible. For these conditions, identify the force(s) acting on the ball. 1) An almost constant downward force of gravity along with an upward force that steadily decreases until the ball reaches its highest point; on the way down only an almost constant force of gravity 2) An almost constant downward force of gravity only 3) None of these; the ball falls back to the ground because of its natural tendency to rest on the surface of the earth 4) A downward force of gravity along with a steadily decreasing upward force 5) A steadily decreasing upward force from the moment it leaves the child's hand until it reaches its highest point; on the way down, a steadily increasing downward force of gravity as the object gets closer to earth

2) An almost constant downward force of gravity only explanation: Once the child lets go of the ball, no contact forces act on the ball. The only force acting on the ball is the force of gravity, directed downward, and essentially constant because the ball travels a small distance compared to the diameter of the earth

A toy car is given a quick push so that is moves up an inclined ramp. After it is released, it moves up, reaches its highest point and moves back down again. Friction is so small it can be ignored.

2) Net constant force down the ramp explanation The net force is the component of gravity along the incline; it is constant and acts down the ramp

Consider a book that remains at rest on an incline. LOOK AT FIGURE 18 ON GOOGLE DOCS Compare the normal force exerted on the book by the inclined plane and the weight force exerted on the book by the earth. Are they equal in magnitude? 1) Yes 2) No 3) Their magnitudes cannot be determined since the forces are not in the same direction

2) No explanation They are not equal in magnitude. The normal force given by N=mgcosθ, with θ the angle the incline makes with the ground. Since |cosθ| is less than 1 as long as the incline is not horizontal, the magnitude N of the normal force, will be less than the magnitude mg of the weight

A space probe is carried by a rocket into outer space where it continues to move on its own in a straight like. What keeps the probe moving? 1) A propeller 2) Nothing specific; in the absence of forces it would continue moving in a straight line 3) Nothing; the probe will eventually stop 4) The gravitation forces from different stars and planets 5) None of these

2) Nothing specific; in the absence of forces it would continue moving in a straight line explanation According to the law of inertia, every object at rest remains at rest, or remains in motion with constant velocity in a straight line unless external forces act on it; so inertia keeps the probe moving in outer space

If you drop a rock from a height of 17 m, it accelerates at g and strikes the ground 1.86263 s later. If you drop the same rock from half the height, what will its acceleration be? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². 1) 0 2) The same 3) About half 4) Unable to determine 5) More

2) The same explanation: The acceleration of an object due to gravity is virtually constant at the earth's surface and is not affected by height

Consider the expression 2π√(l/g), where l is length and g is gravitational acceleration in units of length divided by time squared. Evaluate its units. 1) s² 2) s 3) m 4) (s/m)² 5) m² 6) s/m 7) m/s 8) (m/s)²

2) s explanation: [l]=m and [g]= m/s² 2 and π are constants, so √[l]/[g] = √m/ (m/s²) = √m* (s²/m) = √s² = s

Length is to meter as 1) weight is to mass 2) temperature is to celsius 3) density is to volume 4) liter is to distance

2) temperature is to celsius - the standard metric unit for length is the meter, and the standard metric unit for temperature is the celsius

A block of mass m is accelerated across a rough surface by a force of magnitude F that is exerted at an angle θ with the horizontal, as shown above. The frictional force on the block exerted by the surface has magnitude f. LOOK AT FIGURE 20 ON GOOGLE DOC What is the magnitude of the acceleration (a) of the block? 1) |a|= (Fsinθ -mg)/m 2) |a|= (Fcosθ - f)/m 3) |a|= (Fcosθ)/m 4) |a|= (F-f)/m 5) |a|= F/m

2) |a|= (Fcosθ - f)/m explanation From Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration is the total force in the horizontal direction divided by the mass.

Kinematic equations for constant acceleration are applicable. Velocity in the x-direction is a constant. The initial y-velocity is vᵧ₀= v₀sinα. The projectile reaches its maximum height when vᵧ=0 Under this condition the basic equation v=v₀ +at, reduces at vᵧ=0=vᵧ₀-gt, so tmax= vᵧ₀/g= (v₀sinα)/g

An object is in free fall. At one instant, it is traveling at 57 m/s. Exactly 1.9 s later, what is its speed? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

75.62 m/s explanation: Let: g=9.8 m/s² v₀= 57 m/s and t= 1.9 s Since all the motion is down, we can consider down to be positive. The speed of an object in free-fall is given by vf= v₀ + gt= 57 m/s + (9.8 m/s²) (1.9 s) = 75.62 m/s

An object has an acceleration given by aₓ(t)= Dt². Its initial position is x(0)= A and its initial velocity vₓ(0)= B where A, B, and D are constants. For this object, what is x(t)? 1) A + Bt + 1/2* Dt² 2) (D+B)*(t/2)² 3) A + Bt + 1/3*Dt⁴ 4) At+ Bt+ 1/6*Dt⁴ 5) A + Bt + 1/4*Dt⁴ 6) At + Bt² + 1/4*Dt⁴ 7) At + Bt² + 1/12 * Dt³ 8) A + Bt + 1/12* Dt⁴

8) A + Bt + 1/12* Dt⁴ explanation: Since aₓ = dvₓ/dt ∫dvₓ = ∫ aₓ(t) dt= (Dt³)/3 = vₓ(t)- vₓ(0) = vₓ(t)-B vₓ(t)= B +1/3*Dt³

Consider the three force vectors, F₁ with manitude 91 N and direction 120⁰, F₂ with magnitude 86 N and direction 201⁰, and F₃ with magnitude 58 N and direction 1⁰. All direction angles θ are measured from the positive x axis: counter-clockwise for θ>0 and clock-wise for θ<0. What is the magnitude of the resultant vector ‖F‖, where F= F₁ +F₂ + F₃?

83.651 N explanation: Let: F₁= 91 N and θ₁= 120⁰ F₂= 86 N and θ₂= 201⁰ F₃= 58 N and θ₃= 1⁰ Each force vector is defined by components Fₓ= F₁ₓ+ F₂ₓ + F₃ₓ = (91 N) cos120⁰ + (86 N) cos201⁰ + (58 N) cos1⁰ = -67.7968 N and Fᵧ= F₁ᵧ + F₂ᵧ + F₃ᵧ = (91 N) sin120⁰ + (86 N) sin201⁰ + (58 N) sin1⁰ = 49.0009 N with a magnitude of ‖F‖= √(Fₓ²+Fᵧ²) = √((-67.7968 N)² + (49.0009 N)²) = 83.651 N

A car is traveling at 55.1 km/h on a flat highway. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². If the coefficient of friction between the road and the tires on a rainy day is 0.137, what is the minimum distance in which the car will stop?

87.2412 m explanation v₀= 55.1 km/h and µₖ= 0.137 Horizontally, Fₓnet= ma = -fₖ= -µₖN so that a= (-µₖN)/m= (-µₖm*g)/m= -µₖg v²(final)= v²₀ + 2a∆x=0 since v(final)= 0 m/s, so ∆x= (-v²₀)/2a = (-v²₀)/2*(-µₖg) = ((55.1 km/h)²*(1000 m/1 km)² *(1 h/3600 s)²)/(2*(0.137)*(9.8 m/s²)) = 87.2412 m

LOOK AT FIGURE 4 ON GOOGLE DOC Find the speed of the ball (in terms of the initial speed v₀) as the ball passes a point A (expressed as V₁ here), at one quarter of the maximum height. 1) V₁ = v₀/4 2) V₁ = v₀/2 3) V₁ = (√5* v₀) / (2√2) 4) V₁ = v₀/√2 5) V₁ = 3*v₀/4 6) V₁ = 5*v₀/8 7) V₁ = (√3*v₀)/(2√2) 8) V₁ = 3v₀/8 9) V₁ = (√3 *v₀) /2

9) V₁ = (√3 *v₀) /2 explanation: Δh = hmax/4= v₀²/8g, so vf²= v₀² + 2a (y-y₀) V₁²= v₀² -2g (v₀²/8g) = 3/4 v₀² V₁ = (√3/2) v₀

9.30332 m explanation Given m=28 kg and θ= 31° Consider the FBDs Fₓnet= Fcosθ- F₉‖= 0 F₉‖= mgsinθ= 0 Align the x axis along the incline. The weight component acting down the plane is mgsinθ, so Newton's Second Law gives mgsinθ= ma Solving for a, a= (9.8 m/s²) sin31° Using x-x₀= v₀t + ½ at² with x-x₀= s and v₀= 0, sp s=0.5at² = 0.5 * (5.04737 m/s²) (1.92 s)² = 9.30332 m

Block one is resting on top of block two, and the system of blocks is accelerating to the right due to a force applied to block two. LOOK AT FIGURE 17 ON GOOGLE DOCS In what direction is the frictional force being exerted on the upper block (block one), and is it kinetic friction or static friction?

Static friction to the right explanation The only force acting on the upper block in the horizontal direction is the force of static friction exerted by the lower block; that is the only force available to accelerate block one along with block two.

A mass slides with negligible friction on a circular track of 1 m radius oriented vertically. Its speed at the position shown in the figure is 3.13 m/s. LOOK AT FIGURE 8 ON GOOGLE DOC At the position shown in the figure, describe an arrow that would best represent the direction of the acceleration of the mass? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s² and no external forces act on the system.

The arrow would be pointing down and to the left 45° explanation The magnitude of the centipetal acceleration is aᵣ= (v²/r) = (3.13 m/s)²/1 m ≈ 9.8 m/s², acting inward with gravity acting down, thus the resultant vector being southwest
