Physics 140. Hour Exam II October 24, 2006Name Discovery Room TA Section
Please do not open this exam book until you are told to do so.You will need
1.
 
A #2 pencil2.
 
One scantron answer sheet3.
 
One exam question booklet1. Use a #2 pencil; do
not
use a mechanical pencil or a pen. Fill in completely (until there is no whitespace visible) the circle for each intended input – both on the identification side of your answer sheet andon the side on which you mark your answers. If you decide to change an answer, erase vigorously; thescanner sometimes registers incompletely erased marks as intended answers; this can adversely affectyour grade. Light marks or marks extending outside the circle may be read improperly by the scanner.2. Print your last name in the
YOUR LAST NAME
boxes on your answer sheet and print the first letterof your first name in the
FIRST NAME INI
box. Mark (as described above) the corresponding circlebelow each of these letters.3. Print your NetID in the
NETWORK ID
boxes, and then mark the corresponding circle below each of the letters or numerals. Note that there are different circles for the letter “I” and the numeral “1” and forthe letter “O” and the numeral “0”.
Do not
mark the hyphen circle at the bottom of any of these columns.4.
This Exam Booklet is Version A
. Mark the
A
circle in the
TEST FORM
box at the bottom of thefront side of your answer sheet.
DO THIS NOW!
 5. Stop
now
and double-check that you have bubbled-in all the information requested in 2 through 4above and that your marks meet the criteria in 1 above. Check that you do not have more than one circlemarked in any of the columns.6. Do
not
write in or mark any of the circles in the STUDENT NUMBER or SECTION boxes.7. On the
SECTION
 
line
, print your
DISCOVERY ROOM
. (You need not fill in the COURSE orINSTRUCTOR lines.)8.
Mark only one answer per question
.9.
When told to do so:
Check to make sure that the test booklet is complete. There are 10 numberedpages, including this cover sheet.10. You have 60 minutes to complete the exam.11. If you understand the statement below, please sign
(DO NOT PRINT)
your name on the
STUDENTSIGNATURE
 
line
. If you do not understand, please ask the professor for clarification.

1. In Discovery room 5, you stood on a bathroom scale while riding in the elevator. Your classmate hasa mass of 100 kg stands on the scale and weighs 1000N when the elevator is at rest. He remains standingon the scale when the elevator begins moving with constant acceleration, and you observe the scale toread 900 N. What is the acceleration of the elevator?A) 1 m/s
2
downwardB) 1 m/s

upward2. In Discovery room 5, you stood on a bathroom scale while riding in the elevator. Your classmate hasa mass of 100 kg stands on the scale and weighs 1000N when the elevator is at rest. Imagine that thecable snaps and the elevator begins falling only under the influence of gravity. What would the scaleread?A) 1000 NB) 980 NC) 0 ND) 2000 N3. You have a spring that is 3 cm long that you want to use to shoot a ball across the floor. Youcompress the spring maximally, attach the ball to the end of the spring and place the spring against thewall. You let go, and the spring expands, shooting the ball. During which portion of the spring’sexpansion did it do the most work on the ball?A) During the second centimeter.B) During the third centimeter.C) During the first centimeter.D) The work done is equal for all three segments of the spring’s expansion.4. Cars are designed so that their bodies buckle (permanently deform) when they are in an accident. Howdoes the buckling make the car safer by not allowing it to recoil (bounce) so much?A) The buckling stores energy.B) The buckling changes the collision energy into other forms.C) The buckling provides energy to the crashing objects.D) The buckling gives the car a high coefficient of restitution.5. The coefficient of restitution between a ball and a surface is 0.50. If the ball bounces off of the surfaceand is observed to travel at 100 m/s after the collision. What was the speed of the ball before thecollision?A) 100 m/sB) 150 m/sC) 200 m/sD) 50 m/s

6. Like a baseball bat, a tennis racket has a sweet spot at its center of percussion. If a tennis ball hits thiscenter of percussion, the racket's handle does not accelerate. This is becauseA) an impact at the center of percussion exerts no torque about the racket's center of mass and doesn'tcause the racket to undergo angular acceleration.B) the racket's center of mass accelerates backward while its handle rotates forward about its center of mass, and the two motions cancel one another at the handle.C) an impact at the center of percussion transfers no momentum to the racket and doesn't cause the racketto accelerate.D) the racket's velocity doesn't change when the ball hits its center of percussion.7. You go through a loop in a roller coaster at constant speed. Where is your apparent weight amaximum?A) At the topB) At the bottomC) Halfway up, going downD) Halfway up, going up8. The curves on bicycle racetracks are steeply banked, so that the inner edge of each curve is muchlower than its outer edge. On a banked racetrack, what provides the centripetal force on the bicycle as itgoes around the turn?A) the frictional force between the tires and the track.B) the weight of the bicycle.C) the support force of the track.D) (A) and (C).9. When moving, a bicycle is in a state of dynamic equilibrium due toA) gyroscopic effects.B) air resistance.C) the shape of the fork.D) (A) and (C).10. A three-wheeled vehicle isA) statically stable and dynamically unstableB) statically unstable and dynamically stableC) both statically and dynamically unstableD) both statically and dynamically stable
