I-5 A box of mass m is pressed against (but is not attached to) an ideal spring of force constant k

a frictionless incline and eventually stops. If we repeat this experiment with a box of mass 2m

box.

B) the lighter box will go twice as high up the incline as the heavier box.

 NO credit will be given for just correct answer without appropriate formulae/logic.

 Show all steps and work clearly.

 Circle your numerical answers.

Problem 2: (20 points)

A ball of mass Mb is hanging from a long light string. It is struck by a stone of mass Ms travelling
horizontally to the right at with an initial velocity of vis. The stone rebounds to the left with a velocity
of vfs and the ball swings to a maximum height h above its original level.

A) [4 points] Draw a diagram - before and after the collision.

B) [10 points] Determine an expression for the maximum height, h.


Express this in terms of Mb, Ms, vis and vfs only. Show all the steps clearly.

C) [3 points] If Mb = 5.0 kg, Ms = 1.5 kg, initial velocity of the stone is 12.0 m/s and final velocity of
the stone is 8.5 m/s, calculate the height h.

D) [3 points] Determine the average force between the stone and the ball if the contact time between
the stone and the ball is 5 ms.

Problem 3: (20 points)

A block of mass M is released from rest at the top of a ramp of height h. The top half of the ramp
(from A to B) is frictionless. The bottom half (from B to C) has a coefficient of kinetic friction μk
between the block and the ramp. For the bottom half of the ramp (from B to C), the block moves at
constant velocity.

A) [3 points] Draw a free body diagram of all the forces on the


block as it slides down the bottom half of the ramp from B to C.

NOTE: For each of the following parts you must write down an algebraic (non-numerical)
expression and then show the calculated value.

B) [5 points] Apply Newton’s Second Law for the motion in the bottom half of the ramp to
determine the angle θ of the ramp for M = 2 kg, h = 3.0 m, and µk = 0.4.

C) [5 points] Use conservation of energy to find the speed of the block at the middle of the ramp
(at the point B) – Express this in terms of M, g and h only.

D) [5 points] Determine the work by friction on the block as it slides from the point B to point C –
Express this in terms of M, g and h only.

E) [2 points] For M = 2 kg, h = 3.0 m, and µk = 0.4, find the numerical values for parts C and D.

Problem 4: (20 points) – 4 points for each part

- NOTE: No points will be given if you work out this problem using kinematic equations.

A 96-kg crate, starting from rest, is pulled across a horizontal floor with by a rope angled at 35o ,
which has a constant tension of 350-N.
For the first 15-m the floor is frictionless, and for the next 12-m the coefficient of friction is 0.25.

A) In the space below, draw two separate free body diagrams indicating all the forces acting on the
crate when it is pulled across the -
(i) frictionless surface (ii) surface with friction.

B) Determine the work done by the rope.

C) Determine the work done by the frictional force.

D) Determine the final speed of the crate.

E) If the crate compresses a spring by 6-cm, what is the spring constant of the spring?
