QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

1. A block is placed in a ramp of parabolic with a function of y=x^2 /20. If the coefficient of static friction
is 0.5. What is the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slidding.

Answer: 1.25 m.

2. Bullet with a mass of 5 g is fired and is arrested within the block with mass of 2 kg. The block moved 2
meters, coefficient of friction is 0.2. What is the speed of the bullet?

Answer: 1123 m/s

3. A container of mass 200 kg rests on the back of an open truck. If the truck accelerates at 1.5 m/s²,
what is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the container and the bed of the truck
required to prevent the container from sliding off the back of the truck?

Answer: 0.153

4. A mass m attached to a spring oscilate every 2 sec. If the mass increases by 2 kg, then time period
increases by 1 sec.What will be the initial mass of the body?

Answer: 1.6 kg
