circular motion. Which of the following is the magnitude of the centripetal force? -
ANSWER mv 2/r

- ANSWER constant speed but not constant velocity
If the cross product of a vector of length 5 and a vector of length 3 results in a vector
of length 10, what is the angle between them? - ANSWER 42°
Which of the following is not a vector? - ANSWER 2 kg of mass under a table
The Ideal Gas law is given by which equation? (n is the number of moles of the gas)
- ANSWER PV = nRT
Two vectors can be added graphically by __________. - ANSWER adding them tip
to tail
Consider a rectangle with a base of 0.567 m and a height of 1.606 m. What is its
area? - ANSWER 0.911 m2
A mass of 5.2 kg is accelerated to 4.0 m / s2 when a force of magnitude F is applied
to it. If the same force is applied to another object causes it have an acceleration of
1.8 m / s2, what is the mass of this object? - ANSWER 12 kg
The equation for torque is given by τ=F×dτ where F is a force applied at a distance
d→ from the axis of rotation. Which of the following is the magnitude of torque
resulting from a 2.4 N force applied 17 cm from the point of rotation if the force is
applied at a 45∘ angle to the displacement vector? - ANSWER 0.29 N⋅m
Which is the definition of a derived unit? - ANSWER A unit which is based on other
(basic) units.
Which is not a basic unit? - ANSWER velocity
What would happen to the precession of a gyroscope if it were spinning in the
opposite direction? - ANSWER It would precess in the opposite direction.
A 0.500 kg steel ball is dropped from a height of 4.00 m onto a horizontal steel slab.
The collision appears elastic in that the ball rebounds to its original height. If the
collision lasts for 2.00 × 10−3 s, which of the following is the impulse imparted to the
ball and the average force applied to the ball during the collision? - ANSWER I =
8.85 kg•m / s
, F = 4.43 × 103 N
A 2.6 cm × 5.2 cm domino of mass 18 g is set in the position shown and released.
Taking the domino to be a uniform rectangle plate, what is its angular acceleration
about the corner that rests on the surface? The moment of inertia of a uniform
rectangular plate with side lengths a and b about an axis running perpendicular to it
and through its center is I=112M(a2+b2) - ANSWER 41rad/s2
Would an object precess faster if it had more angular momentum? - ANSWER No,
because the angular velocity of precession is inversely proportional to the magnitude
of the gyroscope's angular momentum
A mass-spring system has an amplitude of0.820 m and a period of 0.690 s. If the
mass attached is 0.500 kg, what is the acceleration at half the amplitude? -
ANSWER 34.0m/s2

An empty freight train car of mass 10,000 kg is rolling along a level section of track at
2.00 m / s. It collides with a loaded car of weight 1.96 × 105 N, which is at rest. The

having a mass of 1,550 kg. The two vehicles lock bumpers on impact. The two cars
then collide with a stationary third car of mass 1,250 kg. During this second impact,
the third vehicle becomes attached to the second but the first car is breaks free and

Tom and Joe are trying to fly a new style of kite that they have invented. Both of
them are holding strings attached to the kite. The tension in each string is 126 N.
The angle between the strings is 36°. Unfortunately, the kite will not rise in the air,
and the strings held by Tom and Joe are essentially parallel to the ground. Tom and
Joe have run a distance of 100 m trying to get the kite to fly. How much work have
they done on the kite? - ANSWER 24,000 N • m
