A person pulls a 11-kg toboggan for a distance of 3.5 m on a horizontal sheet of ice (frictionless) with a rope directed 25.0º above the horizontal snowy surface. The tension in the rope is 88 N. There is also a zephyr (soft gentle breeze) in the opposite direction of the motion applying a 11.0 N force.
(a) How much net work is done on the toboggan by ALL the forces acting on it?
(b) If the toboggan starts from rest, how fast is it moving after the 3.5 m distance?
(c) Use Dimensionality sense-making to check the expression you derive in part (b).

A ball enters a frictionless track spiraling upward with a speed vo. The radius of the track is half a meter and it has a pitch (ѳ) of 15°.
(a) If the initial speed of the ball is 12 m/s, how high vertically will it rise?
(b) Compare your answer to part (a) with the height the ball would rise if it had been thrown vertically upward, into freefall, with the same initial speed. Explain your results.
(c) If you wish the ball to make exactly 5 revolutions before momentarily coming to rest, how fast must it initially be moving when entering the spiral track?
(d) What assumptions or simplifications did you make in part (c) about the total distance traveled that leaves your answer very close but not exact (friction is not the answer)? Use Related Quantities in conjunction with Order of Magnitude sense-making to justify your assumptions/simplifications.

A horizontal spring with a spring constant of 190 N/cm is compressed 6.3 cm. A wooden block with a mass of 1.5 kg is placed in front of and in contact with the spring. When the spring is released it pushes the block, which slides on a frictionless horizontal surface for some distance. The block then slides up a frictionless incline of 27 above the horizontal and comes to a momentary stop before sliding back down. The system is the spring, the block, the incline, and the Earth. Ignore air resistance.
A) Sketch the situation and label all variables for: i. the spring and block before the spring is released ii. the block sliding on the horizontal surface iii. the block sliding up the incline
B) List all known quantities.
C) Draw the free body diagram for the block sliding up the incline.
D) What is the potential energy of the spring before it is released?
E) What is the kinetic energy and the speed of the block as it slides on the horizontal surface after the spring has pushed it?
F) At what height does the block stop on the incline?
G) If the incline were rough, how would the stopping height of the block compare to the stopping height when the incline is frictionless? Explain using energy.

People who do very detailed work close up, such as jewelers, often can see objects clearly at a much closer distance than the normal 25.0cm. What is the power of the eyes of a woman who can see an object clearly at a distance of only 8.75cm? Assume a distance from the eye lens to the retina of 2.00cm

A particle with speed V1= 75 m/s makes a glancing elastic collision with another particle that initially is at rest. Both particles have the same mass. After the collision, the struck particles moves off at an angle that is 45 degrees above the line along V1. The second particle moves off at 45 degree below this line. The speed of the struck particle after the colllision is approximately.
A: 38 m/s
B: 82 m/s
C: 64 m/s
D: 47 m/s
E: 53 m/s

Let's figure out the energy and momentum associated with that motion.
For the purposes of this problem, treat the Earth as a solid, uniform sphere with mass 5.97×1024 kg and radius 6.37×106 m , and assume that the Earth's orbit around the sun is circular with a radius of 1.5×1011 m .
Part A
What is the angular kinetic energy of the Earth due to its orbit around the sun?
Part B
What is the magnitude of the Earth's angular momentum due to its orbit around the sun?
Part C
What is Earth's angular kinetic energy due to its rotation around its axis?
Part D
What is the magnitude of the Earth's angular momentum due to its rotation around its axis?

Remember that energy and momentum are always conserved (though energy can change forms). In other words, if you start with a certain amount of energy and momentum, you must end with the same amount of energy and momentum. By conservation of energy and momentum, the values you've calculated in this problem must have come from somewhere.
Which of the following best explains where the Earth's angular kinetic energy and momentum came from?

| a) The solar system formed from a massive cloud of gas and dust, which was slowly rotating. As the cloud collapsed under its own gravitational pull, the cloud started to spin faster, just as an ice skater pulling his arms in will spin faster. Because all of the material that accreted to form the planet was rotating, the planet was rotating as well. |
| b) As the Earth formed, it experienced a series of collisions with asteroids and comets. These asteroids and comets hit the ball of rock that was forming into the planet off-center. Over time, the off-center collisions gradually caused the planet to rotate faster. |
| c) As the Moon orbits around the Earth, it creates tides on the Earth. Over time the tides have caused the Earth to rotate faster and faster. |
| d) Sheer force of will. |
