B) What is the velocity of the object in the x direction after 4 seconds?
C) How far does the object travel in the x direction in 4 seconds?
D) Find the acceleration of the object in the y direction.
E) What is the velocity of the object in the y direction after 4 seconds?
F) How far does the object travel in the y direction in 4 seconds?
G) What is the velocity of the object after 4 seconds? Write your answer in
component form.
H) What is the velocity of the object after 4 seconds? Write your answer in
terms of magnitude and direction.
I) What is the displacement of the object after 4 seconds? Write your
answer in component form.
J) What is the displacement of the object after 4 seconds? Write your
answer in terms of magnitude and direction.
5. A 20 kg mass is suspended from two cables as shown below. Find the tension in
the two cables. One cable makes an angle of 60 degrees with the ceiling and the
other cable makes an angle of 30 degrees with the ceiling.
20 kg
6. In the diagram below a force F is applied to a block initially at rest. If θ= 30
degrees and S is 1 meter how big does F need to be for the block to cover the
distance S in 2 seconds? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and
the floor is 0.4 and the mass of the block is 6 kg.
7. In the diagram below block A has a mass of 2 kg and block B has a mass of 4 kg.
A) Assume the floor is frictionless and find the tension in string 2 and the
acceleration of the blocks if F=20 N.
B) If the coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the blocks and the
floor is 0.5 and 0.2 will the blocks move? Justify your answer.
C) Using kinetic friction find the acceleration of the blocks and the tension in
string 2.
8. In the diagram below the mass of the block is 4 kg and the ramp is inclined at an
angle of 60 degrees.
A) Find the minimum force F that will keep the block from sliding down the
ramp if there is no friction between the block and the ramp.
B) Find the minimum force F that will keep the block from sliding down the
ramp if there is friction between the block and the ramp and the
coefficient of static and kinetic friction is 0.8 and 0.5.
10. A rock is tied to the end of a string and swung in a vertical circle. The tension in
the string when the rock is at the bottom of the circle is 50 N larger than the
tension in the string when it is at the top of the circle. What is the mass of the
rock?
11. An astronaut weighs 500 N when standing on the surface of the Earth. How much
would he weigh if he were a distance of 2 RE from the center of the Earth?
12. Planet X has a mass of 5 x1020 kg and a satellite is in orbit around planet X. The
satellite is 10,000 meters from planet X. How long does it take the satellite to
orbit the planet?
