125 J

B

250 J

C

500 J

D

1250 J

Solution

. After 5 s: .

A

0.4 m/s

B

0.8 m/s

C

Solution

Conservation of momentum: .

.

A

5 N·s

B

10 N·s

C

15 N·s

D

20 N·s

Solution

.

Magnitude of impulse = magnitude of = 10 N·s.

A

1 m/s

B

2 m/s

C

4 m/s

D

5 m/s

Solution

Perfectly inelastic collision. Conservation of momentum:

.

A

Both move with the same velocity

B

They stick together

C

They exchange velocities

D

Both come to rest

Solution

For 1D elastic collision with equal masses, the velocities are exchanged. The moving body comes to rest, and the stationary body moves off with the original velocity. (You can derive this from the elastic collision equations.)

A

10 N

B

20 N

C

30 N

D

50 N

Solution

Maximum static friction .

Force must exceed this to start motion.

Solution

Pushing up: gravity along incline () and friction () both oppose the motion.

Minimum force .

A

1.25 m/s

B

2.5 m/s

C

D

40 m/s

Solution

.

A

Gravity

B

Normal force

C

Friction

D

Air resistance

Solution

On a flat road, the only horizontal force available is friction. So friction supplies the centripetal force for circular motion.

A

Act on the same body

B

Act on different bodies

C

Cancel each other always

D

Have different magnitudes

Solution

Action and reaction act on different bodies. They have equal magnitudes and opposite directions but never cancel for a single body, because they act on different objects.

Atwood machine with masses (heavier) and :

.

A

480 N

B

600 N

C

720 N

D

900 N

Solution

In the lift's frame, apparent weight: .

A

0 N

B

400 N

C

800 N

D

1600 N

Solution

Constant velocity means zero acceleration, so the apparent weight equals true weight: .

15 kg·m/s

C

50 kg·m/s

D

0.5 kg·m/s

Solution

2 m/s

C

3 m/s

D

4 m/s

Solution

Treat all three as one system: .

A
