1. An amusement park ride consists of a turntable of 2.0 m radius turning at 4 rev/s about the center. If a 70.0 kg child sits at the outer edge of the turntable, what force is necessary to keep the child from sliding off? (1 thru 5: 5 points/problem)

2. A 10,000 kg freight car is rolling along a track at 3 m/s. Calculate the time needed for a force of 1000 N to stop the car.

3. A 15 g bullet is shot into a 5085 g wooden block. The block is standing on a frictionless surface. The block, with the bullet in it, acquires a velocity of 1.0 m/s. Calculate the velocity of the bullet before it struck the block.

4. A 0.25 kg soccer ball is rolling at 6.0 m/s toward a player. The player kicks the ball back in the opposite direction and gives it a 14 m/s velocity. What is the average force during the interaction between the players foot and the ball if the interaction lasts 2.0 x 10 -2 s?

5. Sitting in which car will you be moving fastest at the very bottom of the track? Take the mass of each car to be at its center. They all move with the same speed. a. the front most car. b. the middle car. c. the rear most car. d. doesnt matter in which car you are in. (Give reasons for 5 Points Bonus!)

I. Consider the following Frictionless System of Spring Cart Mass with the following information: (20 points) a) spring constant k= 50 N/m. b) mass of the cart is 2 kg. c) unstretched length of the spring is 45 cm. d) the tabletop is 1.2 m above the floor. Take the mass of the cart to be at same level as the table top. -----------------------------------i) When a mass m is attached to it, the springs length becomes 75 cm. What is the value of m? m is hanging at 50 cm above the floor. Everything is at rest and in equilibrium.

Take the TABLETOP to be the plane of ZERO gravitational potential energy. ii) What is the total mechanical energy of the system when it is in situation in part (i)?

iii) What is the total mechanical energy of the system, if the cart is held at rest in a new position such that the length of the spring is 85 cm?

iv) If the cart is now released, compute the kinetic energy of the system and the speed of the cart as it passes 10 cm from the equilibrium position in (i).

DO only TWO from the THREE groups of problems (15 points/problem) You may try all the three groups but only one from each. Do i or ii one of them only i) A two-meter long string with a mass m at its one end is whirled along the surface of a cone of half angle 300. The mass goes around in a horizontal circle. The tension of the string is 200 N. Find the mass m and its velocity.

300

ii)

A 2 kg mass is sitting on the floor connected by a rope via two pulleys to a mass of 1 kg as shown. What is the angle at which the kg mass from rest should be released so that the 2 kg mass is just barely lifted off the ground? 3m

2m 3m

Do iii or iv one of them only iii) Determine the minimum height H needed so that a 10 kg mass starting from rest at that height H, will complete its motion all the way in contact with the vertical loop of radius 10 cm. There is no friction. (First determine the minimum speed needed for the mass to be in contact at top of the loop using centripetal forces and use conservation of energy concept to find H so that it has that speed at the top.)

iv) A 10.340001234324782312398778 kg bomb is projected upwards with an initial V0 = 9.8 m/s. At the highest point it breaks up into two pieces with mass ratio of 1:3. The larger fragment moves with a velocity of 14.7 m/s at 300 below the horizontal. Find the total vertical distance traveled by the smaller piece from the launching point of the bomb.

Do v or vi one of them only v) A 1.2 kg block is held at rest against a spring with k=730 N/m compressing the spring by a distance d from its equilibrium position. On release, the block travels on a frictionless surface, except for patch of 5.0 cm with k=0.44. What is the compression d needed so that after crossing the patch the block has a velocity of 2.3 m/s.

vi) A bullet of 10 g mass moving horizontally hits a wooden block of mass of 1.0 kg sitting on a horizontal table with k =0.1 and gets embedded inside the block. After the collision the block moves through a distance of 1.0 m on the table before coming to rest. Compute the initial velocity of the bullet.
