Projectiles Launched at an Angle

Solve: A stone is thrown at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal from the top edge of a cliff with an initial speed of 12 m/s. A stopwatch measures the stone’s trajectory time from the top of the cliff to the bottom at 5.6 s. What is the height of the cliff?

120 m

That’s a lot of WORK

A child moving at constant velocity carries a 2 N ice-cream cone 3 m across a level surface. What is the net work done on the ice-cream cone?

0 J

That’s a lot of WORKA horizontal force of 200 N is applied to move a 55 kg television set across a .01 km long surface. What is the work done by the 200 N force on the television set?

2000 J

I just don’t have the ENERGY

A 3.50-kg rubber chicken flying through the air has a kinetic energy of 4586 J. What is the velocity of the rubber chicken?

51.2 m/s

Its SPRINGtime

In the formula for springs below, what does “x” represent (be specific)?

distance spring is stretched or compressed

221 kxPEelastic

Its SPRINGtime

The staples inside a stapler are kept in place by a spring with a relaxed length of 0.115 m. If the spring constant is 51 N/m, how much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring when its length is 0.150 m?

0.031 J

You’ve got POTENTIAL

A 500. N crate is at the top of a 5.00 m long ramp, which is inclined at 20.0° with the horizontal. What is its potential energy?

855 J

A cannonball is fired into space with a force of 10 N. How much force is needed to keep the cannonball moving in frictionless space?

Zero Newtons

It’s the Law

A 2000 kg car experiences a 400 N force from air resistance. What must the force of the engine be to accelerate the car at a constant 3.0 m/s2?

6,400 N

It’s the Law

A car rounds a curve at a constant speed. Is there a net force on the car? And if so, in what direction is it?

Yes; towards the center of the curve

Don’t get Dizzy!

Fifteen seconds after starting from rest, a car is going 30 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?

2 m/s2

On your marks, get set, GO

A block of ice has a mass of 16 g. How much does the block weigh?

0.16 N

Jenny Craig says:

A car is negotiating a flat curve of radius of 50.0 m with a speed of 20.0 m/s. The centripetal force provided by friction is 1.20 x 104 N. What is the mass of the car?

1,500 kg

Don’t get Dizzy!

What is the centripetal acceleration of a point on the perimeter of a bicycle wheel of diameter 70.0 cm when the bike is moving 8.0 m/s?

180 m/s2

A satellite is in circular orbit 230 km above the surface of the earth. It is observed to have a period of 89.0 min. From this information, calculate the mass of the earth. (the mean radius of the earth is 6.38 x 106 m)

6.0 x 1024 kg

The gravity of the situation

Two identical freight cars roll without friction towards each other on a level track. One rolls at 5.0 m/s and the other rolls at 2.0 m/s. After the cars collide, they couple and roll together. What is the new speed of the coupled cars?

1.5 m/s

Momentum

A 150g baseball reaches a batter with a speed of 25 m/s. After it has been struck, it leaves the bat at 35 m/s in the opposite direction. If the ball was in contact with the bat for .001 s, find the average force exerted on it during this period.

25

F t = mv

= mv final – mv initial

F (.001 sec) = (.150kg)(35m/s)-(.150)(-25)

F = 9000N

Momentum

A 30 kg girl who is running at 3 m/s jumps on a stationary 10 kg sled on a frozen lake. How fast does the sled then move?

Mgvg + msvs = (mg+ms)vgs

90 kg m/s + 0 = 40 vV = 2 m/s
