- A cylinder was dropped vertically from rest in a very high, evacuated tube near the surface of the earth. The mass of the cylinder is 6kg. What is its speed after the cylinder has fallen 4.0 m?arrow_forwardA 120-g toy car is propelled by a compressed spring that starts it moving. The car follows the curved track in the figure. What is the final speed in m/s and it coasts up to the frictionless slope, gaining 0.085 meters in altitude.arrow_forwardA child on a sled with a total mass of 58.0 kg slides down an icy hillside with negligible friction. The sled starts from rest and has a speed of 3.90 m/s at the bottom. What is the height of the hill (in m)?arrow_forward
- A uniform thin rod of length 0.310 m and mass 5.74 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to the side an angle 51.0 degrees and released. If friction can be ignored, what is the speed of its free end (in m/s), at the lowest point?arrow_forwardTwo blocks with masses m1 = 5 kg and m2 = 15 kg are connected by a rope as shown. Thehorizontal surface is smooth and the pulley is weightless and frictionless. If the block starts fromrest, what is the speed of m2 after it has fallen by 6 m. Ans. 9.40 m/sarrow_forwardIf an object with a mass of 1.5 kg changes it speed from 3.33 m/s to 7.93 m/s, what is its change in kinetic energy? Assume that the answer has proper SI Units.arrow_forward
- A Ferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius, R = 5 m. Riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. The Ferris wheel rotates so that riders move at a constant speed, v = 5 m/s. Consider a rider whose mass, m = 70 kg. Assume that the acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s₂. H B * L. How much work does the force exerted by the seat do on the rider as they move from point E to point ? O None of these, because the rider's speed does not change O 3500) O-3501 O-3500arrow_forwardA proton (mass m = 1.67 × 10-27 kg) is being accelerated along a straight line at 9.80 × 1011 m/s2 in a machine. If the proton has an initial speed of 8.20 × 105 m/s and travels 5.90 cm, what then is (a) its speed and (b) the increase in its kinetic energy?arrow_forwardA dog with a mass of 57.0 kg slides down a wet slope with negligible friction. The dog starts from rest and has a speed of 2.10 m/s at the bottom. What is the height of the slope (in m)?arrow_forward
- A drop of water goes over a 250m waterfall at a speed of 6.7m/s. How far has the droplet fallen after 4 seconds. I have been having trouble with this for a while and really need some help explains how to solve it. A teacher at my school helped and when I got back on the website I'm taking the class the answer we came up with wasn't a choice. The choices are 78.48m, 156.96m, 19.62m, and 125m. I would really appreciate the help and explanation on how to figure out the answer I have 8 more problems selling with similar things.arrow_forwardA 150kg roller coaster car rolls frictionlessly down a 30m tall hill. If the car was initially at rest, how fast will it be moving when it reaches the bottom of the hill? 22.0 m/s O 23.1 m/s O 24.2 m/s 25.3 m/sarrow_forwardYou push a .50kg block against a spring (k=3100 N/m),compressing it by .12m. The block is then released from rest and the spring pushes the block away. The spring and the block lose contact and the block collides with a second block of twice the mass. The two blocks slide together down a frictionless track consisting of a flat straightaway and a vertical, semi-circle of radius 40cm. What is the speed of the blocks when they have travelled halfway up the semicircle part of the track? What is the magnitude of the normal force on the two blocks at that same location?arrow_forward
