Consider an object whose initial displacement and velocity are both equal to zero with respect to a reference point X. The object accelerates in a straight line away from X according to the following function of time: a(t) = 2t where the instantaneous acceleration is expressed in meters per second squared, and the initial time is t = 0. How fast is this object moving with respect to point X at t = 3 s?

A cylindrical steel tube 15.5 cm long and welded shut at one end holds 2.000 L at 23.0°C. It is completely filled with oil at 23.0°C. The oil and the tube are then slowly warmed together to 77.0°C. (The average linear expansion coefficient for metal is 2.4 x 10-5 °C−1, and the average volume expansion coefficient for oil is 9.0 x 10-4 °C−1.)

(a) How much oil overflows?

(b) What is the volume of oil remaining in the cylinder at 77.0°C?

(c) If the combination with this amount of oil is then cooled back to 23.0°C, how far below the cylinder's rim does the oil’s surface recede?

John was swimming in the river. His swimming velocity was 1.2 m/s due east. The water was running at 0.4 m/s due west. John’s projected area in the water was 0.45 m2. Water density was 1000 kg/m3. The coefficient of drag was 0.2. (a) What was John’s velocity relative to the water? (b) What was the pressure drag force from the water? After a little while, John turned around and now is swimming at 1.2 m/s due west. (c) What is John’s velocity relative to the water now? (d) What is the pressure drag force from the water now? (e) What is the percentage of change in pressure drag force?

A 110-kg rugby player is sliding on a muddy field at a speed of 2 m/s toward the right as a 82-kg player is slipping at a speed of 3 m/s toward the left. As the two players collide, they grab onto each other and slide away together as one.

What kind of collision was this?

After a heavy snowfall, Annie wants to drag a sled loaded with toys across her level backyard floor, by pulling a rope at an angle of 26 degrees up from the snowy floor. When Annie increases her pull to 25N, the sled starts. Two days later, all the snow has melted leaving the concrete exposed. Annie pulls on the loaded sled, but now it has become harder to get it to start. Annie does not want to change the pulling angle, because it is most natural for her. Answer the 3 parts:

a) Draw a free body diagram for Annie's sled, labeling forces

b) The coefficients of static friction for snow and concrete are 0.15 and 0.95, respectively. How large is the normal force of the floor in the two cases (snow and concrete)?

c) How much mass does Annie need to remove from the sled, to be able to start the sled on the concrete by pulling just as hard as she did earlier on the snow?

Estimate the number of Solar neutrinos passing through a detector on the Earth in one second. Assume that the detector has a surface area of 1.0 square meters and is aligned so that it faces directly towards the centre of the Sun. Assume that every neutrino travels without any change (i.e. none are absorbed or converted to a different particle). Also assume that the energy carried out of the Sun by the neutrinos is negligible
