Question 2

Question

Answer
  • 16 m/s
  • 14 m/s
  • 12 m/s
  • 10 m/s
  • 8 m/s

Question 3

Question
A box with a mass of 2 kg accelerates in a straight line from 4 m/s to 8 m/s due to the application of a force whose duration is 0.5 s. Find the average strength of this force.
Answer
  • 2 N
  • 4 N
  • 8 N
  • 12 N
  • 16 N

Question 4

Question
A ball of mass m traveling horizontally with velocity v strikes a massive vertical wall and rebounds back along its original direction with no change in speed. What is the magnitude of the impulse delivered by the wall to the ball?

Question 5

Question
Two objects, one of mass 3 kg and moving with a speed of 2 m/s and the other of mass 5 kg and speed 2 m/s, move toward each other and collide head-on. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, find the speed of the objects after the collision.
Answer
  • 0.25 m/s
  • 0.5 m/s
  • 0.75 m/s
  • 1 m/s
  • 2 m/s

Question 6

Question
A student is trying to balance a meter stick on its midpoint. Given that m_1 = 6 kg and m_2 = 2 kg, how far from the left edge should the student hag a third mass, m_3 = 10 kg, to balance the meter stick?
Answer
  • 40 cm
  • 50 cm
  • 60 cm
  • 70 cm
  • 80 cm

Question 7

Question
Two objects move toward each other, collide, ad separate. If there was no net external force acting on the objects, but some kinetic energy was lost, then
Answer
  • the collision was elastic and total linear momentum was conserved
  • the collision was elastic and total linear momentum was not conserved
  • the collision was not elastic and total linear momentum was conserved
  • the collision was not elastic and total linear momentum was not conserved
  • None of these

Question 8

Question
Three thin, uniform rods each of length L are arranged in the shape of an inverted U, as shown in the figure. The two rods on the arms of the U each have mass m; the third rod has mass 2m. How far below the midpoint of the horizontal rod is the center of mass of this assembly?

Question 9

Question
A car of mass 1,000 kg collides head-on with a truck of mass 2,000 kg. Both vehicles are moving at a speed of 21 m/s, and the collision is perfectly inelastic. After the crash, the two vehicles skid to a halt. Assuming friction is the only force acting on the vehicles after the collision, how much work is done by friction after the crash?
Answer
  • 73,500 J
  • -73,500 J
  • 147,000 J
  • -147,000 J
  • 220,500 J

Question 10

Question
Which of the following best describes a perfectly inelastic collision free of external forces?
Answer
  • Total linear momentum is never conserved.
  • Total linear momentum is sometimes conserved.
  • Kinetic energy is never conserved.
  • Kinetic energy is sometimes conserved.
  • Kinetic energy is always conserved.
