Given the vector A as shown in the figure, select the choice that gives the
vector's correct description in component form.
(Ans- Ax = Acos0 Ay = Asin0
You are going for a bike ride. You ride down a straight road at a speed of
9.0 mi / hr. Just as you pass the point which is 3.6 miles from your starting
point, you develop a flat tire. You get off you bike and walk it to a bike shop
0.5 mile further down the road. The walk to the bike shop takes 12 minutes.
What was your average velocity for the entire trip?
(Ans- 6.8 mi / hr
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 cars couple upon collision. Which of the following is
the speed of the train after the collision?
(Ans- 0.667 m / s
A 1,450 kg car moves with a speed of 25.0 m / s when it collides with a
stationary car 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 moves at 0.125 m / s in the
opposite direction. Which of the following is the final velocity of the second
and third cars after the final collision? (Ans- 13.01 m / s
,A 200 g plastic ball is at rest on a frictionless incline 0.658 m above the
surface of a table. The ball then rolls down the incline and across the table,
coming to rest after a distance of 2.45 m. Which of the following the
average friction on the ball while rolling across the table.
(Ans- 0.527 N
A power company charges its customers for electricity based upon which
one of the following?

Car 1 of mass 700 kg is slowly moving along at 0.500 m / s when it is hit
from behind by car 2 speeding along at 15.0 m / s. After collision, car 1 has
a new speed of 8.00 m / s in the same direction. Which of the following is
the force with which car 2 must have struck car 1, if the collision lasted for
0.932 s? Also, knowing that conservation of momentum applies to the
situation, what is car 2's speed after the collision (v2 f ) if it has a mass of
850 kg?
(Ans- F = 5.63 × 103 N

A motorcycle is moving with a speed of 8.3 m / s when it begins to brake
and slow down at a constant rate. If the acceleration is 3.1 m / s2, how
much further will the motorcycle travel before it comes to a complete stop?
(Ans- 11 m
Where does the concept of moment of inertia come from?
(Ans- Rotational kinetic energy
Two children are playing catch in a passenger train. An observer on the
ground measures that the train is traveling at 70 mph. As the train passes
the observer, he measures that the ball is thrown with half of the speed as
the passenger train. What velocity do the children measure for the ball?
(Assume the positive direction is the direction in which the train is moving.)
(Ans- −35 mph
