Marissa was driving her car to her office along with Urbano Velasco when she saw a man behind her on a motorcycle through her rear-view mirror. A woman was also sitting behind the man on the motorcycle. Marissa noticed from her rear-view mirror, that the shawl of the woman was almost touching the spokes of the motorcycle wheel. She signaled the motorcyclist to stop and alerted the woman. The woman instantly wore her shawl properly so that it won't hang loosely near the spokes of the motorcycle and thanked Marissa for the alert. a) What kind of mirror is used by Marissa as a rear-view mirror? b) State two characteristics of the image formed by such a rear-view mirror? c) What could have happened if Marissa had not alerted the woman sitting at the pack of the motorcycle? this incident?

One end of a string is wrapped several times around a pulley of mass 0.92 kgkg that is oriented vertically. The other end of the string is connected to a block of mass 0.35 kg, which is then slowly lowered until the string becomes taut. After which the person lets go of the block completely, thus allowing the block to descend and the pulley to rotate in unison. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the block after the person has let go?
A merry-go-round at an amusement park consists of an outer ring of horses and an inner ring of elephants. The ring of eight horses has a radius of rh = 8.9 m.

A person wearing roller skates is standing in front of a wall. Assume that the wheels on the skates are good enough that they roll ideally. The person pushes off the wall and begins traveling away from the wall. Call the initial state when the person was standing at rest in front of the wall with her hand touching the wall. The final state is when she has traveled 2.9 m away from the wall and is moving at a constant speed of 0.73 m/s. For each system below, indicate that the energy of the system is or is not constant. System: girl System: girl+wall System: wall

While sitting in physics class one day, you begin to ponder the workings of the analog clock on the classroom wall. You notice as the hands sweep in a continuous motion that there are exactly t = 55 minutes left in class. Through what angle (in radians) will the second hand turn before the end of class?
An electric fan is turned off, and its angular velocity decreases uniformly from 450 rev/min to 220 rev/min in a time interval of length 4.50s. a) Find the angular acceleration α in revolutions per second per second. b) Find the number of revolutions made by the fan blades during the time that they are slowing down in Part A. c) How many more seconds are required for the fan to come to rest if the angular acceleration remains constant at the value calculated in Part A?
A 1.7 kgkg , 20-cmcm-diameter turntable rotates at 140 rpmrpm on frictionless bearings. Two 450 gg blocks fall from above, hit the turntable simultaneously at opposite ends of a diameter, and stick. What is the turntable's angular velocity, in rpmrpm, just after this event? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Current Attempt in Progress Three dimensions. Three point particles are fixed in place in an xyz coordinate system. Particle A, at the origin, has mass ma. Particle B, at xyz coordinates (2.00d, 2.00d, 2.00d), has mass 4.00ma, and particle C, at coordinates (-3.00d, 2.00d, -3.00d), has mass 4.00mA. A fourth particle D, with mass 3.00ma, is to be placed near the other particles. If distance d = 4.20 m, at what (a) x, (b) y, and (c) z coordinate should D be placed so that the net gravitational force on A from B, C, and D is zero? %3D (a) Number i Units (b) Number Units (c) Number Units > >
A 17 g audio compact disk has a diameter of 12 cm. The disk spins under a laser that reads encoded data. The first track to be read is 2.3 cm from the axis; as the disk plays, the laser scans tracks farther and farther from the center. The part of the disk directly under the read head moves at a constant 1.2 m/s. a. When a disk is inserted, it takes 2.4 s to spin up from rest. What is the torque of the motor?b. As the disk plays, how does the angular speed change?
