QUESTION 1 This and the next two questions are about the following situation: A circular saw blade of radius 0.1 meters rotates at a speed of 1800 revolutions per minute. The angular velocity of the saw blade is (a) = 132.1 rad/s (b) = 188.5 rad/s (c) = 207.4 rad/s (d) = 289.9 rad/s (e) = 314.2 rad/s QUESTION 2 Suppose the blade speeds up so that = 452 rad/s. What is the centripetal acceleration, a, of a small tooth on the outer edge of the saw blade? (a) a = 13310 m/s2 (b) a = 18273 m/s2 (c) a = 20430 m/s2 (d) a = 25020 m/s2 (e) a = 57750 m/s2 QUESTION 3 This and the next two questions are about the following situation: A boy wants to throw a water balloon from a roof deck and hit the far side of the street below. He throws the ball at 5 m/s at an angle of 45 to the horizontal. If vboy = 0, what is the maximum height, h, reached by the balloon above the street? (a) h = 6.8 m (b) h = 6.3 m (c) h = 5.9 m (d) h = 5.1 m (e) h = 4.6 m QUESTION 4 This time, suppose the boy gets a running start, vboy = 3 m/s toward the street. What is the speed of the balloon, vballoon, when it hits the street? (a) vballoon = 9.9 m/s (b) vballoon = 10.8 m/s (c) vballoon = 11.6 m/s (d) vballoon = 12.4 m/s (e) vballoon = 13.8 m/s QUESTION 5 A projectile is shot out at 45 with respect to the horizon with an initial velocity of Vx = Vy = Vxy. When is the earliest time, t, that the velocity vector makes an angle of 30 with respect to the horizontal? (a) t = Vxy / (g sin 30) (b) t = Vxy (1 - sin30) / g (c) t = Vxy tan 30 / g (d) t = Vxy (1 - tan 30) / g (e) t = Vxy / (g tan 30) QUESTION 6 This and the next two questions are about the following situation: A car travels around a banked racing track curve as shown below. The curve has a radius of curvature of R; the car is moving into the page.

The centripetal acceleration of the car traveling around the curve is (a) in the negative x direction. (b) perpendicular to g and away from the center of the curve. (c) perpendicular to g and toward the center of the curve. QUESTION 7 Ans: C Suppose the curve is icy and there is no friction between the wheels and the road. What speed of the car, vice, ensures that it does not slide up or down the roadway?

QUESTION 8 Ans: B This and the next question are about the following situation: A block of mass m1 rests on a frictionless ramp, which makes an angle with respect to the horizontal. It is attached to a string that wraps over a massless pulley. A block of mass m2 hangs vertically from the other end of the string. The whole system is initially held at rest. It is then released. Which one of the expressions below right is a correct expression for the acceleration of the m2 mass after the system is released? Take the positive direction to be vertically upwards, as shown in the figure.

QUESTION 9 Let m1 = 15 kg, m2 = 5 kg. If the acceleration of m2 were measured to be +1.23m/s2, what would be the tension, T, in the string?

T = 98 N T = 55 N T = 35 N T = 22 N T = 12 N

QUESTION 10

Ans: C

This and the next two questions are about the following situation: A block of mass M = 2 kg is on a stationary inclined plane inclined with an angle = 30. A horizontal rope is attached to the block and is pulled to the right with tension T. The tension remains horizontal even in the event that the block moves down the plane. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane is s = 0.7 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is k = 0.5. Which one of the following is the correct free-body diagram for the block?

QUESTION 11
What is Tmax the maximum value of T for which the block can be held in place with static friction? (a) The block cannot be held in place with static friction for any value of T. (b) Tmax = 0.18 N (c) Tmax = 0.63 N (d) Tmax = 1.71 N (e) The block remains held in place with static friction for all values of T.

QUESTION 12
If were increased, the value of Tmax found in the previous problem would (a) decrease. (b) stay the same. (c) increase.

QUESTION 13
This and the next three questions are about the following situation: A red ball of mass 1.4 kg, thrown from ground level, hits the ground again after an elapsed time of 3 seconds and after traveling a horizontal distance of 42 m.
