Three students set up labs to determine the inertial mass of a metal sphere: ● ● Student 1 attaches the sphere to a vertical spring scale and measures the mass. Student 2 uses a spring to launch the sphere across a frictionless surface and measures its acceleration. B Student 3 sets the sphere on a triple-beam balance and measures the mass. Which student is correctly measuring the inertial mass of the sphere? Choose 1 answer: Student 1 Student 2 Student 3 All three students

2. A block of mass m is moving with speed v along a horizontal surface when it collides with a uniform rod of mass 2m and length L attached at one end to a pivot. The surface and pivot have negligible friction. The rod is vertical when the block collides with the end of the rod. The block sticks to the rod, and the block-rod system rotates so that the end of the rod reaches a height h, as shown above. The total rotational inertia of the rod about the pivot is 2mL/3. Express answers in parts (a), (b), and (c) in terms of m, L, v, and physical constants as appropriate. 2m, L a. Derive an expression for the angular speed of the block-rod system immediately after the collision. b. Show that the change in height h of the bottom of the rod can be given by the equation A = 3v-/20g. c. Derive an expression for the mechanical energy dissipated during the collision.

Sphere A is attached to the ceiling of an elevator by a string. A second sphere is attached to the first one by a second string. Both strings are of negligible mass. m1=m2=m= 2.88kg. 1. The elevator starts from rest and accelerates downward with a= 1.35 m/s (power 2). What are the tensions in the two strings in newtons? 2. If the elevator moves upward instead with the same acceleration what will be the two strings in newtons? 3. The max tension the two strings can withstand is 91.3 N. What maximum upward acceleration (in m/s [power 2]) can the elevator have without having one of the strings break?
Problem 4. Newton's Variable-Height Cradle Figure 1 shows a Newton's cradle with small beads hanging from different heights. One bead hangs 30.0 cm below the upper bar, and the second bead hangs 20.0 cm below the lower bar, so that the beads are aligned horizontally. (In reality, the beads hang from two strings attached to them in a V-formation, so that the beads can only swing in the plane of the page; still, the beads behave like simple pendulums with the lengths shown.) The beads have equal masses, and collisions between them are always elastic. 30.0 cm 20.0 cm Figure 1: Newton's cradle with beads hanging at variable heights. (a) If the first bead (the one hanging from the 30.0-cm-long string) is released from rest at an angle of 10.0° from the vertical, to what maximum angle from the vertical will the second bead swing? (b) After the first bead is released, how long will it take to collide with the second bead? (c) After the first collision, how long will it take the second bead to…
