I’m a certain Simple harmonic motion the projection of a point rotating at 500rev/min has an acceleration of 35m/s² when the velocity of the point is 5m/s at the initial instant t=0

calculate the frequency of the oscillation in Ho

Three particles of equal masses m are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of 

side 2.0 m. Determine the centre of mass of this system.

Where did the cos(a) value came from?

A particle is being rotated in a centrifuge which has a radius of 5.0 m. If the 

particle’s centripetal acceleration is 4 g, determine its speed. What is the time period 

of its motion?

 A satellite of mass 2500 kg is orbiting the Earth in an elliptical orbit. At the apagee, the 

altitude of the satellite is 3000 km, while at the perigee its altitude is 1000 km. Calculate 

the energy and angular momentum of the satellite and its speed at the apagee and perigee.

 A particle of mass 3m initially moving with a speed u in the positive x-direction 

collides with a second particle of mass m moving in the opposite direction with an 

unknown speed v. After collision the mass 3m moves along the negative y-direction 

with a speed u/2 and the mass m moves with a speed v in a direction making an angle 

of 45˚ with the positive x-direction. Determine v and v in units of u. Is the collision 

elastic?

A disc rotates with a period of 0.50s. Its moment of inertia about its axis of rotation is 0.08 Kg m²

. A small mass is dropped onto the disc and rotates with it. The moment of 

inertia of the mass about the axis of rotation is 0.02 kg m²

. Determine the final period 

of the rotating disc and mass system.

A merry-go-round is initially at rest. On being given a constant angular acceleration it 

reaches an angular speed of 

1 0.50 rad/sin 10.0 s. At t = 10.0 s, determine the 

magnitude of: (i) the angular acceleration of the merry-go-round ; (ii) the linear velocity 

of a child sitting on the merry-go-round at a distance of 3.0 m from its centre; (iii) the 

tangential acceleration of the child; (iv) the centripetal acceleration of the child; and 

(v) the net acceleration of the child.

 A car, travelling on a straight horizontal road, has 1.6 MJ of kinetic energy. It accelerates for 20 s until it has 2.5 MJ of kinetic energy. What is the average power output used to increase the kinetic energy of the car? *
