A projectile has an initial velocity v= 26 m/s and a projection angle of 48 .
(a) How much time takes the projectite to reach the maximum height?
(b) What is the velocity of the projectile( magnitude and direction) at its
maximum height?.
(c) Find the coordinates of the projectile relative to the origin at the
time f= 2.1 s.
Solution :
* A truck starts from rest with an acceleration a1= 1.50 m/s’, while a car 150 m
behind starts from rest with an acceleration a c= 2.0 m/s’.
(a) How long will it take before both the car and the truck are at the same
position?.
(b) What is the distance traveled by each of them?.
Solution :
© A uniform beam of mass m = 20 kg and length. L is
hinged to vertical wall and supported at its other end
by a wire (see Figure).
(a) What is the value of the mass M which is supported
from the beam, if the tension in the wire is T = 500 N?
(b) What are the components of the
reach force & at the hinge that
acts ou the beam?
Solution ;
A builet ef mass m =20 g is fired horizontally into a wooden block of mass
M= 1.0 kg resting on a horizontal rough surface (coefficient of kinetic friction is
jt = 0.25). The bullet goes through the block and comes out immediately with a
speed af v x= 250 m/s. If the block moves a distance d = 5.0 m before it stops,
the initial speed of the bullet v »i was (in m/s) :

® A child of mass 2.2 kg stands halfway between the center and the
edge of the sarousst which is rotating at an angular speed of
Wo = 1.8 rad/s. The radius of the carousel is R = 3.0 m,
and its moment of inertia is T= 610 kg m’.

Solution :
A girl of mass m sits at the top of a cylindrical
tank of radius R (see Figure). The surface of
the tank is assumed to be smooth. The girl starts
to slide from the top.
(a) At what angle 8 will the girl loose contact
with the surface ?
Hint: Normal force is zero, when no contact with the surface.
Solution :
° A particle of mass m = 5.0 g slides without friction around the track
shown in the Figure. The particle is released from point A
where h= 3.5 m. Suppose that the radius of the loop is
R=10m.

Two masses m, =: 4 kg and m, is unknown are connected
by a string over a pulley as shown in the Figure. The puiley
is of negligible mass and frictionless. Assume no friction
between the blocks and the incline.

(b) Calculate the acceleration of the blocks
(magnitude and direction).
Solution:
Three particles of equal masses M = 2 kg are placed at the corners
of an equilateral triangle (see Figure) length L = 1 m.

axis passing through the point C (see figure) which is
perpendicular to the xy-plane .
(b) What is the moment of inertia about the x-axis?
Solution :
A constant horizontal force F = 10 N acts on a block placed on a frictionless
horizontal surface. The block starts from rest and travels a distance d = 250 m
in 5 seconds.
(a) What is the mass of the block ?
(b) Ifthe force is removed at 5 seconds, how far will the block travel during
the next 10 seconds?
Solution :
® The pulley in the Figure has a moment of inertia [= 0.0165 kg m?, and rotates |
clockwise pulling the mass m, and the spring. When the spring is stretched by
0.052 m, the pulley is stopped , and then released . R.= 0.07FmM
