(a) What is the magnitude of the tangential acceleration of a bug on the rim of an 11.5-in.-diameter disk if the disk accelerates uniformly from rest to an angular speed of 77.0 rev/min in 3.50 s?
(b) When the disk is at its final speed, what is the magnitude of the tangential velocity of the bug?
(c) One second after the bug starts from rest, what is the magnitude of its tangential acceleration?
(d) One second after the bug starts from rest, what is the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration?
(e) One second after the bug starts from rest, what is its total acceleration? (Take the positive direction to be in the direction of motion.)

A 5.0 kg mass is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface when a horizontal force along an x axis is applied to the block. The force is given by ? ⃗(?) = (6.0?2 − 2?3)?̂, where the force in in newtons, x is in meters, and the initial position of the block is x = 0. (a) What is the work done in moving the block from x = 1.0 m to x = 3.0 m? (b) What is the maximum kinetic energy of the block between x = 0.0 m and x = 3.0 m? (15 points)

A three-legged wooden bar stool made out of solid Douglas fir (the Young's modulus is 1.0×1010N/m2) has legs that are 2.0 cm in diameter.
When a 85 kg man sits on the stool, by what percent does the length of the legs decrease? Assume, for simplicity, that the stool's legs are vertical and that each bears the same load.
Express your answer in percent.

`DIRECTIONS: Write an answer to each question legible, using
complete sentences and your own words as much as possible.
6. What
information is needed to directly determine the range of a
projectile without using the equations of uniformly accelerated
motion?
7. At
what point in its motion does an ideal projectile stop
accelerating?
8. Do
two projectiles launched at complementary angles always yield the
same range? Explain.
9. When
someone says that all measurement of motion is relative, what is it
relative to? Give an example.
10. Real projectiles do
not have a maximum range for a 45o launch. Discuss why
the ideal angle for real projectiles (like baseballs, golf
balls,..) is slightly lower than 45o.

Interstellar cloud having a diameter of 1013 km and a rotation period of 106 years collaps- ing to a sphere the size of the Sun (1.4 x 106 km in diameter). We point out that if all the cloud’s angular momentum went into that sphere, the sphere would have a rotation period of only 0.6 second. Do the calculation to confirm this result.
