A 0.726-kg rope 2.00 meters long lies on a floor. You grasp oneend of the rope and begin lifting it upward with a constant speedof 0.710 m>s. Find the position and velocity of the rope’s centerof mass from the time you begin lifting the rope to the time thelast piece of rope lifts off the floor. Plot your results. (Assume therope occupies negligible volume directly below the point where itis being lifted.)

Three cars of equal mass and velocities are traveling south down 41 through Acworth. When they each see the traffic light change from yellow to red, they step on the brake pedal. Car A comes to a stop in a distance of 200 meters while car B comes to a stop in 100 meters and Car C comes to a stop in 50 meters. Which car will have the greatest force exerted on it? Required to answer. Single choice.
If someone can vertically jump a height h on earth, with g = 9.8 m/s2, how high can they jump on another planet with a different value of g? Let H be the vertical lift distance (before takeoff) of the center of mass of the jumper during the propelling phase of the jump.

A car of mass m moves with a speed of Vo. The driver suddenly sees another car, of mass 3m, sitting at rest. The driver slams on the brakes. The coefficent of kinetic friction between the car and the road is μk. a) How far away must the second car be if the first car is to stop exactly in time to avoid hitting it? b) Suppose the car is a distance of d/2 away where d is the distance you found in part (a). Find the momentum of the car as it collides with the car at rest. c) Use conservation of momentum to calculate the speeds of both cars after the collision.

An acrobatic buccaneer swings from one rope to another in the rigging of a pirate ship. As she grasps the rope, her mass is m, 63.5 kg; knots on the rope make the rope's effective mass m, 1.50 kg. From the height %D she grabs the rope, she swings up a further distance of 1.50 m. Assuming that her collision with the rope is perfectly inelastic, answer the following questions: {Note: Treat as a ballistic pendulum problem!} mehanical a) Does the buccaneer's collision with the rope conserve her-kietie en- ergy? {Y/N?} b) Neglecting any energy losses due to friction, air drag, etc., determine the velocity of the buccaneer + rope system right after she grabs the rope in m/s. {Assume a closed system, thus Conservation of Energy} c) Is it possible to calculate the buccaneer's initial speed before she grabbed the rope from the information given? {Y/N?}
Where necessary assume g = 9.8 m s-² 1. A vehicle has a mass of 1800 kg. Its engine provides a forward force of 2.5 kN, but the motion is resisted by a constant frictional force of 340 N. Calculate a) the acceleration of the vehicle, b) its momentum 6.0 s after starting to move.
