Julio wanted to test the effect that different heights have on the speed of a car rolling down a ramp. For his experiment, Julio made sure that he used the same car with the same mass. He had a stopwatch to record the time it took for the car to reach the bottom of the ramp in each trial. He constructed the following two ramps with only the height being different. For each trial, Terrance placed the car at the top of the ramp and started the stopwatch as he released the car. He stopped the stopwatch when the car reached the bottom of the ramp. Ramp 1 Ramp 2 Which car do you think would travel down the ramp in the shortest amount of time? Why?

A block is sliding along a frictionless surface at 11.1 m/s. The block slides down a hill. At the bottom of the hill, the block is sliding at 36.5 m/s. How tall (in meters) is the hill?
A 1.4 gram bullet is shot into a tree stump. It enters at a velocity of 341 m/sec and comes to rest after having penetrated the stump in a straight line. It takes 0.00032 sec to come to a stop after striking the stump. What was the force on the bullet during impact? (answer in Newtons)
A 1,865.66 kg car at rest at the top of a hill 20 m high is given a nudge and begins to roll down the hill. It rolls up a 8.39 m hill on the other side. How fast is it moving as it tops the lower hill?
A light, rigid rod is 50.2 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest with a small, massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? m/s

Question 3. The cart shown in figure below moves with constant deceleration changing the speed from v0 = 5 m/s to v1 = 1 m/s. After 2 seconds when it reaches the speed v1 it suddenly stops. Write the displacement of the mass as a function of time. Mass m moves without friction on the surface of the cart. Assume positive direction from left to right (direction of motion of the cart). Numerical values: m = 2 kg, k = 1.152 kN/m. V k Ans: x(t) = 3.472 cos 24 t + 41.6 sin 24 t (mm) m L

You have landed a job in Disney’s Imagineering Department. (Congratulations!) There, you are part of a team that is building a new roller coaster. Several of your coworkers have submitted proposals. Now you have to sit down to select one design that will be prototyped and studied further. Today you are studying the first section of one of those designs. The car is to begin virtually at rest atop a hill. (The cars are just barely pulled over this initial hill.) From there, the car descends until it enters a vertical loop. Rather than a circular loop, this design has a teardrop, or clothoid, design. This shape can be thought of as a large radius circular arc at the bottom and a small radius arc at the top. (That is, the top and bottom can be thought of as portions with two different circular paths.) In this design, the bottom radius of curvature is 40m and the top is 20m. The top of the loop is 60m above the ground. There are a few safety considerations for the roller coaster: The…
An action figure is placed on a toy car, which is initially at rest. Then the action figure moves through 4 time intervals: The car is pushed until it hits a wall. Then, the action figure slides down a ramp. The action figure flies off of the ramp and hits a wall at the peak of its trajectory, momentarily coming to a complete stop. Finally, the action figure falls into the toybox and comes to rest. Assume that all surfaces, except the final wall, have nonzero coefficients of static and kinetic friction. For each time interval, including the endpoints, determine whether the total work done on the action figure by gravity (?g), normal forces (?N), and friction (?f) is positive, negative, or zero. Neglect drag. The motion of a toy army guy action figure is shown in four different time intervals. The toy is stiff and has a base for standing upright. During interval 1, shown in the upper left, the army guy stands upright upon a car initially at rest. The car is pushed to the right,…
Construction workers are building a new skyscraper in a major city. A crane operator is using a crane to lift a heavy box of supplies (with a mass of 664 kg) to the top of the building when the cord suddenly snaps! The box of supplies free-falls to the ground from a height of 142 m. How many seconds does it take for the supplies to crash into the ground below? _____s
