1. On dry concrete, a car decelerates at a rate of 7 m/s 2, whereas on wet concrete it
can decelerates at only 5 m/s2. Find the distances necessary to stop a car moving at
110km/h a) on dry concrete and b) on wet concrete. 66.69 m, 93.36 m
2. You drop a stone into a deep well and hear it hit the bottom 3.2 sec later. This is
the time it takes for the stone to fall to the bottom of the well, plus the time it takes
for the sound of the stone hitting the bottom to reach you. Sound travels about 343
m/s in air. How deep is the well? 46 m
3. You are working as a consultant on a video game designing a bomb site for
a World War I airplane. In this game, the plane you are flying is traveling
horizontally at 40 m/s at an altitude of 125 m when it drops a bomb.
Determine how far horizontally from the target you should release the bomb.
202 m
4. Two blocks are connected by a lightweight, flexible cord that passes over a
frictionless pulley. If m1=3.6 kg and m2= 9.2 k, and block 2 is initially at rest
140 cm above the floor, how long does it take the block 2 to reach the floor?
0.81 sec
5. A 750 kg automobile is moving at 20 m/s at a height of 5 m above the bottom of
a hill when it runs out of gasoline. The car coast down the hill and then continues
coasting up the other side until
it
comes to rest. Ignoring
frictional forces and air
resistance, what is the value
of
h, the highest position the
car reaches above the bottom of the hill? 25 m
6. A tennis ball of mass 0.06 kg is served. It strikes the ground with a velocity of 54
m/s at an angle of 22 degrees below the horizontal. Just after the bounce it is
moving at 53 m/s at an angle of 18 degrees above the horizontal. If the interaction
with the ground lasts 0.065 sec, what average force did the ground exert on the
ball? 34 N
7. A 60 g bullet is fired horizontally into a block of a ballistic pendulum. The block,
which has a mass of 12 kg, is suspended by a cord which is 102 cm long. If the cord
swings through an arc of 33.7 degrees, find the speed of the bullet if the block
swings at a height of 17 cm. 368 m/s
