A top-loading washing machine has a cylindrical drum that rotates about a vertical axis. The drum of one such machine starts from rest and reaches an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 12.0 s. The lid of the machine is then opened, which turns off the machine, and the drum slows to rest in 11.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the drum turn during this 23 s interval? Assume constant angular acceleration while it is starting and stopping.

Suppose that in the same Atwood setup another string is attached to the bottom of m1 and a constant force f is applied, retarding the upward motion of m1. If m1 = 5.70 kg and m2 = 11.40 kg, what value of f will reduce the acceleration of the system by 50%?

A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly at a rate of 1.2 m/s2 for 4.3 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 11.2 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 84 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop. How fast is the hare going 1.7 seconds after it starts? How fast is the hare going 9.6 seconds after it starts? How far does the hare travel before it begins to slow down? What is the acceleration of the hare once it begins to slow down? What is the total time the hare is moving? What is the acceleration of the tortoise?

A block is attached to the top of a spring that stands vertically on a table. The spring stiffness is 49 N/m, its relaxed length is 27 cm, and the mass of the block is 300 g. The block is oscillating up and down as the spring stretches and compresses. At a particular time you observe that the velocity of the block is <0, 0.0877, 0> m/s and the position of the block is <0, 0.0798, 0> m relative to an origin at the base of the spring. Using a time step of 0.1 s, determine the position of the block 0.2 s later. The correct answer is .373651. How was this answer found?

5) Two particles are placed on the y-axis. Particle 1, with a charge of -2 C, is placed at (0,0) and particle 2, which has a charge of 8 C, is placed at (0, 12). The two particles are 12 m apart.

(a) Draw a diagram of the scenario above. Draw the electric field lines of each particle, as if the other particle was not present.

(b) Using the two sets of electric field lines above, draw the net electric field lines for the two particles below.

(c) Which of the following regions cannot have a location where the net field is 0 N/C? (Yes, this is a multiple choice question, but you must select all choices that apply and give a reason why those choice(s) would answer the given question.) (i) Region below of particle 1 (ii) Region between particle 1 and 2 (iii) Region above of particle 2

(d) By now you should have one region remaining that can have a location where the net field is 0 N/C. Determine the coordinate of this location.
