1. A water-skier, moving at a constant magnets that cause them to attract one

speed of 9.30 m/s, is being pulled by
a tow rope that makes an angle of
37.0° with respect to the velocity of
the boat (see drawing). The tow rope
is parallel to the water. The skier is
moving in the same direction as the
boat. If the tension in the tow rope is
135 N, determine the work that it does
in 12.0 s.
another. Thus, the speed of each cart
increases. At a certain instant before
the carts collide, the first carts
velocity is 4.5 m/s, and the second
cart’s velocity is -1.9 m/s. (a) What is
the total momentum of the system of
the two carts at this instant? (b) What
was the velocity of the first cart when
the second cart was still at rest?

4. A pitcher throws a curveball that

reaches the catcher in 0.60 s. The ball
curves because it is spinning at an
average angular velocity of 330
rev/min (assumed constant) on its
way to the catcher’s mitt. What is the
angular displacement of the baseball
(in radians) as it travels from the
pitcher to the catcher?

5. A CD has a playing time of 74

2. It takes 185 kJ of work to accelerate a
car from 23.0 m/s to 28.0 m/s. What
is the car’s mass?
3. A 2.3-kg cart is rolling across a
frictionless, horizontal track toward a
1.5-kg cart that is held initially at rest.
The carts are loaded with strong
minutes. When the music starts, the
CD is rotating at an angular speed of
480 revolutions per minute (rpm). At
the end of the music, the CD is
rotating at 210 rpm. Find the
magnitude of the average angular
acceleration of the CD. Express your
answer in rad/s2.
