At an angle of 36.5deg with the horizontal, a ladder, with mass (m = 100.0 kg) rests on a frictionless wall and on the ground with a friction coefficient (μS).

a) What is the minimum value of the ladder-ground static friction coefficient if the ladder’s center of mass is located at a distance, 1/3 of its total length?

b) A boy, with mass (m = 45.0 kg), uses the ladder to retrieve a bag of 5 basketballs, each with mass (m = 0.625kg), that rests on the top of the wall. If the boy must return safely to the ground, what is the new static friction coefficient required?

c) What is the %DIFF in static friction coefficients between parts a) and b)?

d) What is the %DIFF in the magnitude of the force delivered by the wall between parts a) and b)?

e) If the boy travels at a constant velocity during his round trip travel to retrieve the ball, what is the total work done by gravity?

5.1 A car is traveling along a highway at 65 miles per hour. The road is horizontal (0% slope). If the wind resistance and rolling resistance at the wheels creates a combined resistive force of 950 N, what is the power (kW) developed at the rear wheels?

5.2 How much power (kW) must the car engine in problem 5.1 develop if the overall mechanical efficiency of the transmission and drive train is 94%?

5.3 Assume the car engine in problem 5.1 is operated on gasoline with an energy content of 113,500 Btu's per gallon, and that the thermal efficiency of the spark ignition engine and drivetrain is 28.6%. What is the fuel efficiency of the car in miles per gallon?

5.4 The car in problem 5.1 approaches a mountain and begins ascending a grade of 6.0%. If the car maintains an uphill speed of 70 miles per hour, how much additional power (kW) must be developed by the engine to overcome the change in elevation? Assume the car has a mass of 1400 kg.

5.5 Assume the car above is operated on a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline (E85). If the energy content of ethanol is 80,460 Btu's per gallon, what is the energy content of the E85 fuel (Btu/gal)?

5.6 Assume the overall thermal efficiency of the engine and drivetrain of the car above drops to 24.5% when operated on E85 fuel. What is the estimated fuel economy (km/L) of the car above when subjected to the uphill operating conditions above (Problem 5.4)?

The women’s record for fastest serve is by Sabine Lisicki with 131 mph which is approximately 58.56 m/s.  Suppose she hit the ball at a height of 2.6 meters above the court at an angle of 8 degrees below the horizontal.

a.  How high will the ball be when it reaches the net which is 11.89 meters away from the baseline?  Assume she hit the ball right above the baseline.  Does it hit the net or cross over it if the net height is 0.91 meters at the center?

b.  If she served the exact same way, but now with no net in front of her, how far from where she hit the ball would it land on the court?

c.  How fast is the ball going right before it hits the court?  Give the ball’s horizontal, vertical, and resultant velocity.  With the resultant, make sure to give both its size and direction (angle and reference)

A 2.00kg bucket containing 11.5kg of water is hanging from a vertical ideal spring of force constant 140N/m and oscillating up and down with an amplitude of 3.00 cm. Suddenly the bucket springs a leak in the bottom such that water drops out at a steady rate of 2.00 g/s.

Part A

When the bucket is half full, find the period of oscillation.

Part B

When the bucket is half full, find the rate at which the period is changing with respect to time.

Part C

Is the period getting longer or shorter?

Part D

What is the shortest period this system can have?

Squid use jet propulsion for rapid escapes. A squid pulls water into its body and then rapidly ejects the water backward to propel itself forward. A 1.5 kg squid (not including water mass) can accelerate at 20 m/s2 by ejecting 0.15 kg of water.

A recent home energy bill indicates that a household used 475 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of electrical energy and 225 therms for gas heating and cooking in a period of 1 month. Given that 1.00 therm is equal to 29.3 kWh, how many milligrams of mass would need to be converted directly to energy each month to meet the energy needs for the home?(in mg)

m/s

(b) At what point does the ball have maximum speed?
cm
(from its original position)

(c) What is this maximum speed?
m/s

Q3 Scenario: Discharge the electroscope and charge it again with the rubber rod. Rub the perspex rod with silk and bring it close to the metal disk on top of the electroscope, but do not touch the disk! Go back and forth with the perspex rod several times without touching the metal disk. (Pretend you have a magic wand and you’re casting a spell on the electroscope).

a) What happens when you rub the perspex rod with silk and bring it close to the metal disk on top of the electroscope, but without touching the disk? Explain.

b) When observing the oscillations of the needle, what direction does the electroscope needle go as you bring the rod closer to the metal disk? Explain.

c) What causes the electroscope needle to deflect in that manner? Explain.

d) Does the perspex rod have the same or opposite charge as the needle? Explain.
