Suppose a 175 kg motorcycle is heading toward a hill at a speed of 34 m/s. The two wheels weigh 12 kg each and are each annular rings with an inner radius of 0.280 m and an outer radius of 0.330 m. a) how high can it coast up the hill, if you neglect friction in m? b) how much energy is lost to friction if the motorcycle only gains an altitude of 39m before coming to rest?

The figure shows a thin rod, of length L = 2.20 m and negligible mass, that can pivot about one end to rotate in a vertical circle. A heavy ball of mass m = 8.10 kg is attached to the other end. The rod is pulled aside to angle 00 = 8° and released with initial velocity V 0. (a) What is the speed of the ball at the lowest point? (b) Does the speed increase, decrease, or remain the same if %3D the mass is increased? 3.
4. Two wheels (A and B) of equal mass and the same Iz roll down a hill without sliding and have the same kinetic energy. Partway down the hill, wheel B stops rolling and continues down the hill sliding (no rotation), but maintains the same kinetic energy as wheel A which continues to roll without sliding. Which wheel reaches the base of the hill first (assuming they travel the same path length)? wheel A (the one that rolls the whole way) wheel B (the one that starts sliding) they reach the hill base at the same time
A 260 g particle in a semi-spherical bowl of radius 0.6 m is released from rest at point A at the level of the center of the bowl, and the surface of the bowl is rough. The speed of the particle at B is 2 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . a)What is its kinetic energy at B? b)What is the magnitude of the energy lost due to friction as the particle moves from A to B?
A racecar having a mass of 735 kg is driving along a track at an unknown speed. When going through a tight turn the car crashes into a wall with a kinetic energy of 2293.6 kJ. When investigating the scene it appears as if the mass of the car was not appropriate for how fast the driver attempted to take the turn. What was the cars speed when it crashed? 2.50 m/s 55.9 m/s 6.24 m/s O 79.0 m/s
Review (Figure 1)A roller-coaster car may be represented by a block of mass 50.0 kg . The car is released from rest at a height Correct answer is shown. Your answer 7848 J was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part. h = 48.0 m above the ground and slides along a frictionless track. The car encounters a loop of radius R = 16.0 m at ground level, as shown. As you will learn in the course of this problem, the initial height 48.0 m is great enough so that the car never loses contact with the track, Part B Find the minimum initial height hmin at which the car can be released that still allows the car to stay in contact with the track at the top of the loop. Express your answer numerically, in meters. • View Available Hint(s) Figure Nνα ΑΣφ hmin = Submit Previous Answers X Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining Your answer imples that the car starts off lower than the top of the loop.

A recently patented pile driver pounds piles into the ground by launching 15 kg bowling balls from a spring loaded gun, up around a frictionless loop-de-loop of radius r= 8 m, and down onto the pile. When the spring is compressed by As = 2 m, the bowling balls have a speed of 20 m/s at the top of the loop, as shown. (You may v = 20 m/s r=8 m assume g = 10 m/s².) k ?

R R A mass m = 88 kg slides on a frictionless track that has a drop, followed by a loop-the-loop with radius R = 15.8 m and finally a flat straight section at the same height as the center of the loop (15.8 m off the ground). Since the mass would not make it around the loop if released from the height of the top of the loop (do you know why?) it must be released above the top of the loop-the-loop height. (Assume the mass never leaves the smooth track at any point on its path.) 1) What is the minimum speed the block must have at the top of the loop to make it around the loop-the-loop without leaving the track? m/s Submit 2) What height above the ground must the mass begin to make it around the loop-the-loop? m Submit 3) If the mass has just enough speed to make around the loop without leaving the track, what will its speed be at the bottom of the loop? m/s Submit +

A 1,060 kg meteor strikes the surface of the Moon. What is the work done (in J) on the meteor by the gravitational field of the Moon, if we assume the meteor comes from deep space? The work done by the Moon's gravitational field is equal to the negative of the change of potential energy of the meteor-Moon system. You can assume the meteor comes from infinitely far. What is the final distance of the meteor, if it lands on the Moon's surface? You will need to look up two physical characteristics of the Moon to solve this problem. J
Q4. A ball of mass m attached to one end of a thin, light, inextensible string moves with speed vo in a circle of radius ro in free space. Calculate the work required to reduce the radius from rotor by pulling the other end of the string through a smooth tube that is perpendicular to the plane of the circle. Express the result in terms of m, vo, ro and r. (HINTS: 1) Tension in the string is a central force and therefore the angular momentum is conserved 2) If radius changes then the speed changes, hence the KE. (Use work-energy theorem) See the representative figure given below: ७o
