Question 1

A 242 g box slides up a 16.1° ramp at a speed of 4.05 m/s. Using conservation of energy and assuming the ramp is frictionless, how far along the ramp does the box slide before stopping?


0.745 m
3.02 m
29.6 m
0.871 m

Question 2

A 10800 kg jet is preparing to land on a military aircraft carrier. In order to do so, the pilot manoeuvres the jet's tail to hook and snag a cable that is attached to a spring with spring constant 71200 N/m. If the spring stretches 33.0 m to stop the jet, what was the jet's landing speed?


218 m/s
14.7 m/s
84.7 m/s
120. m/s

Question 3

You are lawn bowling and bowl a ball with a speed of 5.23 m/s. Unfortunately, your ball hits a large rock of mass 310 g, resulting in a perfectly elastic collision. If the final velocity of the ball after the collision is -2.42 m/s, what must the mass of the ball be?


0.114 kg
0.844 kg

An ideal monatomic gas originally at a pressure of 3x105 Pascals and 75 moles and volume 1.2 m3 & Ti is expanded isothermally to a volume of 3.5 m3 at which point it has pressure P1. It then experiences an isovolumic process to a lower pressure P2, T2. Finally, it is compressed adiabatically back to its original state and returns to its original pressure, temperature, and volume.

Find:

Ti , P1 , P2 , T2

ΔE1 of gas, ΔE2 of gas , ΔE3 of gas , ΔETotal of gas

W1by gas, W2 by gas, W3 by gas, WTotal by gas

Q1 into gas, Q2 into gas, Q3 into gas, QTotal into gas

Answers should be:

Ti = 577.62 Kelvin, P1 = 102,857.14 Pascals, P2 = 50,206.54 Pascals, T2 = 281.95 Kelvin

ΔE1 of gas = 0 Joules, ΔE2 of gas = -276.41 kJoules, ΔE3 of gas = 276.41 kJoules, ΔETot of gas = 0 Joules

W1 by gas = 385.36 kJoules, W2 by gas = 0 Joules, W3 by gas = -276.41 kJoules, WTot by gas = 108.95 kJoules

Q1 into gas = 385.36 kJoules, Q2 into gas = -276.41 kJoules, Q3 into gas = 0 Joules, QTot into gas = 108.95 kJoules

A cockroach of mass m lies on the rim of a uniform disk of mass 4.00 m that can rotate freely about its center like a merry-go-round. Initially the cockroach and disk rotate together with an angular velocity of 0.230 rad/s. Then the cockroach walks half way to the center of the disk.

What then is the angular velocity of the cockroach-disk system? What is the ratio K/K0 of the new kinetic energy of the system to its initial kinetic energy? What accounts for the change in the kinetic energy?

A uniform disk with mass 8.5 kg and radius 8 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is stationary. The disk is initially at rest, and then a constant force 31.5N is applied to the rim of the disk. The force direction makes an angle of 35 degrees with the tangent to the rim. What is the magnitude v of the tangential velocity of a point on the rim of the disk after the disk has turned through 8.1 revolutions? The unit of the tangential velocity is m/s.

Problem 3

The purpose of this problem is to find the Net Magnetic Field force of the two electric currents at point P.

There are two parallel wires carrying currents I1 = 15 A and I2 =25 A, as it is shown in the figure below. The arrow on each wire shows the direction of the current in the wire.

The distance between the two wires is 10 Cm. The distance between point P and the wire (I1 ) on the left is 4 Cm.

Three identical stars of mass M form an equilateral triangle that rotates around the triangle’s center as the stars move in a common circle about that center. The triangle has edge length L. What is the speed of the stars? b.) What is the period of revolution? c.) What is the total potential energy of the 3 star system? Express your answers in terms of the star mass M and triangle edge length L. Hint: Draw a diagram showing the gravitational forces on each star. d.) Find the gravitational force on a single star due to the gravitational attraction of the other two stars, (magnitude and direction). Hints: the 2nd law for a single particle orbiting a planet i.e. Fg = M v 2 /R. You will need to express R in terms of the triangle edge length L. Use v T = 2πR to find the period. it is a symbols-only problem. All work must be done in symbols. There are no numbers.
