You are doing an experiment in the classroom with a ramp and two balls of EQUAL mass. The balls are released at the same time and start rolling down the incline. (you are supposed to see that all is not perfect. we don’t expect the identical balls to travel down the ramp at the exact same time, only close. you should see that if the balls are close ‘within 1 or 2 cm’, we will call it identical.
Why do they NOT travel down the ramp exactly together?
An iron sphere of mass 30 kg has the
same diameter as an aluminum
sphere of mass 10.5 kg. The spheres
are simultaneously dropped from a
cliff. When they are O m from the
ground, they have identical

- A girl, having a mass of 15 kg, sits motionless relative to the surface of a horizontal platform at a distance of 5 m from the platform's center. If the girl speed is 2 m/s. What is the normal force that affects the girl?arrow_forwardTo test the speed of a bullet, you create a pendulum by attaching a 3.20 kg wooden block to the bottom of a 1.10 m long, 0.800 kg rod. The top of the rod is attached to a frictionless axle and is free to rotate about that point. You fire a 10 g bullet into the block, where it sticks, and the pendulum swings out to an angle of 38.0°. What was the speed of the bullet? (Treat the wooden block as a particle.)arrow_forwardThe space probe Deep Space 1 was launched on October 24, 1998. Its mass was 474 kg. The goal of the mission was to test a new kind of engine called an ion propulsion drive. This engine generated only a weak thrust, but it could do so over long periods of time with the consumption of only small amounts of fuel. The mission was spectacularly successful. At a thrust of 56 mN how many days were required for the probe to attain a velocity of 780 m/s (1740 mi/h), assuming that the probe started from rest and that the mass remained nearly constant?arrow_forward
- In outer space, far from other objects, two rocks collide and stick together. Before the collision, their momenta were (-10,20,-5) kg⋅m/s and (8,-6,12) kg⋅m/s. What was their total momentum before the collision? What must be the momentum of the combined object after the collision?arrow_forwardSuppose you catch and hold a baseball, and then someone invites you to catch and hold a bowling ball with either the same momentum or the same kinetic energy as the baseball. Which would you choose? Why?arrow_forwardDuring July 1994 the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 smashed into Jupiter in a spectacular fashion. The comet actually consisted of 21 distinct pieces, the largest of which had a mass of approximately 4.0 x 1012 kg and a speed of 6.0 x 104 m/s. Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has a mass of 1.9 x 1027 kg and an orbital speed of 1.3 x 104 m/s. If this piece of the comet had hit Jupiter head-on, what would have been the change (magnitude only) in Jupiter's orbital speed (not its final speed)?

You place a 20 kg plate on one end of the bar and mistakenly place a 40 kg plate on the other end of the bar. The bar is 2 m long and has a mass of 20 kg without the plates on it. The 20 kg plate is located 0.4 m from the left end of the bar and the 40 kg plate is located 0.4 m from the right end of the bar. How far (m) from the right end of the bar is the center of gravity located?arrow_forward41.

It's 5:00 PM and Kurdapya needs to finish her physics module, one of the problems tates that a rocket and a spacecraft were attached and has a combined mass of 3.8 × 10⁵kg and is to reach a speed of 12.3 km/s, she needs to know how much kinetic energy will it have. 2. The next day, Kurdapya craved for some riped guava fruit. She has to climb the guava tree however she realized that she is already 65 kg and the tree is 7.2 meters high. Let us calculate the power required for her to climb the tree in 15 seconds.arrow_forward
