**Problem 2: Swing Physics**You are seated on a swing that has a seat attached to the end of a 2.0-meter rope. Initially, your friend pulls you back, creating an angle of 15 degrees from the vertical, and then releases you, starting the swinging motion. When you reach the lowest point, you pick up your little sister, who is standing on the ground.**Objective:**Determine the angle to which the swing rises after picking up your sister. Assume your mass is 50.0 kg and your sister’s mass is 20.0 kg.**Diagrams:**1. The first diagram shows a person seated on a swing at a 15-degree angle from the vertical, ready to start the swing back and forth.2. The second diagram shows the swing in motion, reaching the vertical position at its lowest point, where the sister is picked up.3. The third diagram depicts the swing reaching a new angle of elevation (indicated with a question mark) after the sister has been picked up, showing a person with an additional figure (the sister).**Analysis:**To solve, apply principles of conservation of energy and physics of pendulums, considering the combined mass and new conditions after picking up the sister.

15⁰ TT You are on a swing that consists of a seat at the end of a 2.0 m rope. Your friend pulls you back through an angle of 15 degrees and then lets you go to start swinging. As you reach the bottom you scoop up your little sister who was standing on the ground. To what angle does the swing rise after that? Assume your mass is 50.0 kg and your sister's mass is 20.0 kg.

You have a new internship, where you are helping to design a new freight yard for the train station in your city. There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in Figure P7.41. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Both springs are described by Hookes law and have spring constants k1 = 1 600 N/m and k2 = 3 400 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car in Figure P7.41. When the spring with spring constant k2 compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical car on the siding has a mass of 6 000 kg. When you present your design to your supervisor, he asks you for the maximum speed that a car can have and be stopped by your device. Figure P7.41
Review. Consider the system shown in Figure P10.21 with m1 = 20.0 kg, m2 = 12.5 kg, R = 0.200 m, and the mass of the pulley M = 5.00 kg. Object m2 is resting on the floor, and object m1 is 4.00 m above the floor when it is released from rest. The pulley axis is frictionless. The cord is light, does not stretch, and does not slip on the pulley. (a) Calculate the time interval required for m1 to hit the floor. (b) How would your answer change if the pulley were massless?

Pursued by ferocious wolves, you are in a sleigh with no horses, gliding without friction across an ice-covered lake. You take an action described by the equations (270kg)(7.50m/s)i=(15.0kg)(v1fi)+(255kg)(v2fi)v1f+v2f=8.00m/s (a) Complete the statement of the problem, giving the data and identifying the unknowns. (b) Find the values of v1f and v2f (c) Find the amount of energy that has been transformed from potential energy stored in your body to kinetic energy of the system.
Review. Why is the following situation impossible? An athlete tests her hand strength by having an assistant hang weights from her belt as she hangs onto a horizontal bar with her hands. When the weights hanging on her belt have increased to 80% of her body weight, her hands can no longer support her and she drops to the floor. Frustrated at not meeting her hand-strength goal, she decides to swing on a trapeze. The trapeze consists of a bar suspended by two parallel ropes, each of length , allowing performers to swing in a vertical circular are (Fig. P8.38). The athlete holds the bar and steps off an elevated platform, starting from rest with the ropes at an angle i = 60.0 with respect to the vertical. As she swings several times back and forth in a circular are, she forgets her frustration related to the hand-strength test. Assume the size of the performers body is small compared to the length and air resistance is negligible. Figure P8.38
Use the definition of the vector product and the definitions of the unit vectors i, j, and k to prove Equations 11.7. You may assume the x axis points to the right, the y axis up, and the z axis horizontally toward you (not away from you). This choice is said to make the coordinate system a right-handed system.
An open box slides across a frictionless, icy surface of a frozen lake. What happens to the speed of the box as water from a rain shower falls vertically downward into the box? Explain.
Review. As shown in Figure P8.26, a light string that does not stretch changes from horizontal to vertical as it passes over the edge of a table. The string connects m1, a 3.50-kg block originally at rest on the horizontal table at a height h = 1.20 m above the floor, to m2, a hanging 1.90-kg block originally a distance d = 0.900 m above the floor. Neither the surface of the table nor its edge exerts a force of kinetic friction. The blocks start to move from rest. The sliding block m1 is projected horizontally after reaching the edge of the table. The hanging block m2 stops without bouncing when it strikes the floor. Consider the two blocks plus the Earth as the system. (a) Find the speed at which m1 leaves the edge of the table. (b) Find the impact speed of m1 on the floor. (c) What is the shortest length of the string so that it does not go taut while m1 is in flight? (d) Is the energy of the system when it is released from rest equal to the energy of the system just before m1 strikes the ground? (e) Why or why not? Figure P8.26
Additional Problems A typical propeller of a turbine used to generate electricity from the wind consists of three blades as in Figure P8.75. Each blade has a length of L = 35 in and a mass of m = 420 kg. The propeller rotates at the rate of 25 rev/min. (a) Convert the angular speed of the propeller to units of rad/s. Find (b) the moment of inertia of the propeller about the axis of rotation and (c) the total kinetic, energy of the propeller. Figure P8.75
Crall and Whipple design a loop-the-loop track for a small toy car. The car starts at height yi above the bottom of the loop, goes through the loop of radius R, and then travels along a flat, horizontal track before coming to rest. Rolling friction between the horizontal track and the car is significant, but it is negligible along the rest of the track. Assume Crall and Whipple release the car from the minimum height yi (found in Problem 56). If the coefficient of rolling friction between the car and the horizontal track is 0.30 and the radius of the loop is 0.45 m, how far does the car travel along the horizontal track from the base of the loop before coming to rest?

Figure CQ10.15 shows a side view of a childs tricycle with rubber tires on a horizontal concrete sidewalk. If a string were attached to the upper pedal on the far side and pulled forward horizontally, the tricycle would start to roll forward. (a) Instead, assume a siring is attached to the lower pedal on the near side and pulled forward horizontally as shown by A. Will the tricycle start to roll? If so, which way? Answer the same questions if (b) the string is pulled forward and upward as shown by B, (c) if the string is pulled straight down as shown by C, and (d) if the string is pulled forward and downward as shown by D. (e) What If? Suppose the string is instead attached to the rim of the front wheel and pulled upward and backward as shown by E. Which way does the tricycle roll? (f) Explain a pattern of reasoning, based on the figure, that makes it easy to answer questions such as these. What physical quantity must you evaluate? Figure CQ10.15
A small ball is tied to a string and hung as shown in Figure P8.34. It is released from rest at position 1, and, during the swing, the string meets a fixed peg as shown. Explain why position 2 at which the ball comes momentarily to rest must be at the same height as position 1.
