The exam has 14 questions. Your best 9 will count. Physicists have unified our
understanding of nature. We now know there is only one force. It is called
'misery'. Please sob quietly. You are allowed a clean formula sheet, a calculator
and luck enhancing facial twitch.

Vectors are in BOLD FACE

1) a = 5i + 1j + 3k, b = 3j - 2k

a) What is the magnitude of a-2b?

b) What is a. b?
c) What is c = a x b?
d) Vectors a, band (b-a) form a triangle. What is the area of this triangle?
e) What is the angle between a and b?

 2) Rain is a drag

Two perfectly spherical raindrops are falling downwards at their terminal

velocities. The bigger one is higher up and the smaller one is directly below it.
The bigger one has a radius of 1.5mm and has a velocity 4 m/s straight down
and, the smaller one has a radius of 1mm and is also going straight down.
Terminal velocity happens when the drag force is equal to the weight as you
recall, and the formula for drag force is Fd = (c/2) P A v 2. All spherical drops
water have the same drag co-efficient (called c). The two drops collide and stick
together. The collision time is very quick so they don't have time to drop
significantly during the collision. The resulting bigger drop is spherical too.
The density of water is 1000kg/m 3 and take the density of air to be 1kg/m 3 .

a) What is the drag co-efficient ( c) ?

b) What is the velocity of the smaller drop before the collision?
c) What is the velocity of the combined drop just after the collision?
d) What is the terminal velocity of the combined drop a long time after the
collision?

up.
b) Calculate the velocity and acceleration vectors of the projectile as functions of time.
c) At t=5 seconds what is the velocity vector and what is the straight-line distance from the origin
to the projectile?
d) At t=5s, what angle does the velocity vector make with the y-axis (i.e. straight up?).
e) At time t, what are the momentum and angular momentum vectors of the projectile about the
origin? You will need to define a third unit vector by ,A

A letter K is suspended from a frictionless pivot P at

the end of one of the rods as shown in the diagram.
The two diagonal rods make an angle of 45° with the
p vertical rods. The K is made from 4 thin rods that
have a uniform mass per unit length of 2kg/m. Two of
them have a length of 1m and two have a shorter
lenQth of
(1N 2)m.
a) Where is the centre of mass of this letter?
b) What is the moment of inertia of this letter about
P?

the axis of rotation. The co-efficient of static friction between the penny and the disc is 0.5. At t=O
the disc starts to undergo angular acceleration.
a) What is the minimum angular acceleration needed so that the penny starts to slip immediately?
b) If the angular acceleration is very, very small, then the disc will increase its angular velocity
very very slowly. But no matter how small the angular acceleration, if we wait long enough the
penny will slide. What is the maximum angular velocity the disc can have before the penny
slides?
c) Suppose the table starts from rest and undergoes an angular acceleration of 8 radians! S2.
How much time will elapse before the penny slides?

a) What are the mouse's speed, angular velocity and kinetic energy at the 100cm mark?
What horizontal force does the mouse need to cling to the stick with to stay put?
The mouse reasons that it would be safer to be clinging onto the SOcm mark, so moves up the
stick.

b) What was the potential energy in the old orbit?
c) What is the potential energy in the new orbit?
d) What was the kinetic energy in the old orbit?

 12) A bullet traveling horizontally with a speed of SOOmls is fired into a wooden block with mass
1kg, initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The bullet embeds in the block and the block is seen
to skid 0.2m across the surface before coming to rest. The co-efficient of friction between the
block and table is 0.1.

14) A sphere of steel (radius 3cm density 7.8 x 10 kg/m is held just under the surface of a
3
calm ocean (density 1.03 x 10 kg/m 3). As the ball is in the ocean it experiences an upward
buoyancy force of 1.14N. [Those of you familiar with Archimedes principle could have calculated
that for yourself as the weight of water displaced.] The drag co-efficient of the sphere is 0.5.
The sphere is released from rest at t=Os. The fonnula for drag forces is FD=(1/2)cpAv 2 .
a) An instant after release, what is the acceleration of the sphere?
b) The sphere reaches close-enough to tenninal velocity in a short time. What is that tenninal
velocity?
c) The depth of the ocean at this point is 2km. How long (roughly) does it take to get to the bottom
of the ocean?

 Physics 111 Ab2 Fall 2004 Final Exam.

The exam has 14 questions. Your best 9 will count. Cheer up. The student
writing the paper next to you is much more nervous than you.

Vectors are in BOLD FACE

1) a =
1 i + 2j + 3k. b = 4i + 3j + 2k
a) What is the magnitude of vector 2a-2b?
b) What is a. (3b+a )?
c) What is a x b?
d)what is the angle between a and b?
e) What is a x (a + 4b + 3c) where c is the vector (a- b)
(Hint; a modicum of thought before you start calculating will mean you can do
this one in your head provided you have done a) thru d) first)
f) What is the angle between vector a and the y-axis?

8) A toilet roll is roughly a cylinder with a hole of radius 1cm through the middle. Two
physics professors decide to have a toilet paper race. Each professor holds the end of the
roll of paper in the fingers of one hand, and drops the roll down a 20 m hole with the
\
\
other hand at an agreed to time. One prof has a full roll whose outer radius is Scm, the
other has a used roll whose outer radius is only 3cm. The winner is the first roll to hit the
floor. Assuming both rolls are longer than 20m, what are the times it takes the rolls to hit
the floor? [May I suggest you do this problem in 'algebra', to obtain and expression for
\
the time 't', then put in numbers (twice) only at the end, oh, and when you do this keep \
at least 4 sig figs!]. \

 13) A pair of phys 111 students are celebrating a successful exam. In the pool hall Mary
( leaves a situation where Mark cannot possibly put a ball into a pocket without the cue
ball going somewhere Mark does not want it to go. Mark has learned the art of ethics well
from his teacher, so while Mary is distracted pulls another cue ball from his pocket which
as twice the mass ofthe proper cue ball (which he hides), and of course the same radius.
Now the cue-ball has twice the mass of the target ball. Mark sends the cue-ball at 2m Is
into a collision which is very elastic with a red ball, and after the collision the cue-ball
has changed its direction by 20 degrees.

 5) To launch a satellite into orbit around the earth really close
to the earth's surface, it takes more energy to give it kinetic
energy than it takes to increase its potential ene . However to
launch into an orbit far from the earth (i . . an orbit around the
earth with a large radius) it takes more energy to increase the
satellite's potential energy than its kinetic energy. At what
stance from the earth would a satell orbit such that it
takes the same amount of ene to increase its kinetic energy as
to increase its potential energy?
Ignore the rotation of the earth, and call the earth's radius R
and the earth's mass M.

door slowly closes as a result of the arrow's impact.
How long does it take the door to close? Hint: The system
