A 50 g rock is launched vertically in the air by a slingshot. The slingshot exerts an average force of 53 N on the rock over a distance of 0.750 m.  


  1. Find the maximum height reached by the rock in [m].
  2. Find the speed of the rock as it leaves the slingshot in [m/s]?

A pellet is fired from an air rifle with a horizontal velocity into sand in a stationary toy truck. The truck then takes off in a horizontal direction on a frictionless runway.

a) State whether or not momentum is conserved.

b) Explain your answer in (a) above.


A horizontal jet of water coming out of a pipe of area of cross section 20cm hits a vertical wallwith a velocity of 10ms and rebounds with the same speed . The force exerted by the water on the wall is
A particle travels around a circle of radius 5 m, changing its speed at a constant rate. At a certain point A, the speed is 3m/s. After travelling another quarter revolution to point B, the speed has increased to 6 m/s. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle at B. *
The position of the particle that moves along the x-axis is given by x=t3-3t2-45t (m), where t is the time in seconds. Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration, and distance traveled at t=8 sec. *

what is the resultant of displacement of 6 miles north and 9 miles east?


In physics lab, you are measuring the period of a vertically hung spring-ball system in which the mass of the ball is 0.60 kg . As the system oscillates up and down, it also swings from side to side, a motion that interferes with your measurements of the vertical motion. After running several trials and calculating the period for the system set up this way, you decide to eliminate the side-to-side motion by rigging up the spring horizontally with a string draped over a pulley of radius 0.032 m , as in . With this arrangement, your measured period is 10% greater than the value you measured for the vertically hung system. Realizing an opportunity for extra credit, you wonder if the rotational inertia of the pulley is buried in your data.

A. What is the rotational inertia of the pulley?

Is hydraulic press against the law of conservation of energy? As we see output is greater than input... energy is equal to work done,, which is equal to the dot product of work and distance...now in case of smaller piston force is smaller while in case of larger piston (having large Cross section area) force is very large conparitively,,, displacement of piston renains same in both cases,,then in this way its violating law of conservation of energy...how could we justify law of conservation of energy in hydraulic press???


Consider an alternate universe in which the magnitude of the attractive force of gravity exerted by Earth on a meteor of mass mm approaching Earth is given by F=CmmmE/r3, where C is some positive constant and r is the center-to-center distance between Earth and the meteor

A. How much work is done by the gravitational force on the meteor as it falls from very far away (infinite distance) to some height h above Earth's surface?
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables mm, C, mass of Earth mE, its radius RE, and h.

B.
If the meteor is moving very slowly when it is very far away, how fast is it moving when it gets to that height?
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables mm, C, mass of Earth mE, its radius RE, and h.

Vm=?
A box slides on a frictionless surface with a total energy of 50 J. It hits a spring and compresses the spring of a distance of 25 cm from equilibrium. If the same box with the same initial energy slides on a rough surface, it only compresses the spring a distance of 15 cm, how much energy must have been lost by sliding on the rough surface?
