Physics Department Physics 103, February 3, 1997 Final Exam Time: 2 hours Name: __. LD. No. Section Hid | Al-Kassab Remarks: All questions should be worked out. e No make up of this exam without legal reason e This exam will have a total grade of 200. Page Grade 1. 2. Total : «as ° 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) : |] 995 Cl sas = C) 497 CJ aso show your solution here ( crossing only does not count) ® 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 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. (a) What is the velocity of the particle at point B 7.
