A uniform, rigid rod of length \( 2 \) \( \text{m} \) lies on a horizontal surface. One end of the rod can pivot about an axis that is perpendicular to the rod and along the plane of the page. A \( 10 \) \( \text{N} \) force is applied to the rod at its midpoint at an angle of \( 37^{\circ} \). A second force \( F \) is applied to the free end of the rod so that the rod remains at rest, as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the torque produced by force \( F \) is most nearly
Why is more fuel required for a spacecraft to travel from the Earth to the Moon than to return from the Moon to the Earth?
An astronaut initially at rest in space throws a wrench, and recoils in the opposite direction. Select all that is true.
A \(0.5 \, \text{kg}\) cart, on a frictionless \(2 \, \text{m}\) long table, is being pulled by a \(0.1 \, \text{kg}\) mass connected by a string and hanging over a pulley. The system is released from rest. After the hanging mass falls \(0.5 \, \text{m}\), calculate the speed of the cart on the table. Use ONLY forces and energy.
A fisherman is standing in the back of his small fishing boat (the mass of the fisherman is the same as the mass of the boat) and he is a few meters from shore. He is done fishing so he starts walking towards the shore so he can get off the boat. What happens to the boat and the fisherman? Select all that apply and assume there is no friction between the boat and the water.
A discus is held at the end of an arm that starts at rest. The average angular acceleration of [katex]54 \, \text{rad/s}^2 [/katex] lasts for 0.25 s. The path is circular and has radius 1.1 m.
Note: A discuss is a heavy, flattened circular object for throwing.
A child on a sled reaches the bottom of a hill with a velocity of \( 10.0 \, \text{m/s} \) and travels \( 25.0 \, \text{m} \) along a horizontal straightaway to a stop. If the child and sled together have a mass of \( 60.0 \, \text{kg} \), what is the average retarding force on the sled on the horizontal straightaway?
Above is the graph of the velocity vs. time of a duck flying due south for the winter. At what point might the duck begin reversing directions?
A officer fires a pistol horizontally toward a target \(120 \,\text{m}\) at a velocity of \(200 \, \text{m/s}\). If the officer aimed directly at the bull’s eye
An average adult elephant \( (5000 \, \text{kg}) \) is strapped to a spring, which is then pulled \( 2 \, \text{meters} \) away from its equilibrium position and released. The elephant starts oscillating back and forth with a period of \( 10 \) seconds.

A crane’s trolley at point \( P \) moves for a few seconds to the right with constant acceleration, and the \( 870 \, \text{kg} \) load hangs on a light cable at a \( 5^\circ \) angle to the vertical as shown. What is the acceleration of the trolley and load?
You pull a box with a constant force across a frictionless table using an attached rope held horizontally. If you now pull the rope with the same force at an angle to the horizontal (with the box remaining flat on the table). Does the acceleration of the box increase, decrease, or remain the same if the rope is pulled at an angle? Explain.
Two thin coins are made from identically the same metal, but one coin has triple the diameter of the other. What is the ratio of the moment of inertia of the large coin compared to the small coin? Take the axis of rotation to be perpendicular to the coin and through its center; assume that the coins have the same thickness. Hint: The moment of inertia of a solid disk about its center is \(\frac{1}{2} M R^{2}\).

Two particles of equal mass \( m_0 \) are moving with equal speeds \( v_0 \) along paths inclined at \( 60^\circ \) to the \( x \)-axis, as shown above. They collide and stick together in a perfectly inelastic collision. Their velocity after the collision has magnitude:
A \(6 \, \text{kg}\) cube rests against a compressed spring with a force constant of \(1{,}800 \, \text{N/m}\), initially compressed by \(0.3 \, \text{m}\). Upon release, the cube slides on a horizontal surface with a kinetic friction coefficient of \(\mu_k = 0.12\) for \(3 \, \text{m}\), then ascends a \(12^\circ\) slope, stopping after \(4.5 \, \text{m}\). Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction on the slope.

In the laboratory, you are given a cylindrical beaker containing a fluid and you are asked to determine the density \( \rho \) of the fluid. You are to use a spring of negligible mass and unknown spring constant \( k \) that is attached to a vertical stand.
A block attached to a spring demonstrates simple harmonic motion about its equilibrium position with amplitude \( A \) and angular frequency \( \omega \). What is the maximum magnitude of the block’s velocity?

The system in the Figure is in equilibrium. A concrete block of mass \(225 \, \text{kg}\) hangs from the end of a uniform strut whose mass is \(45.0 \, \text{kg}\).
A sample of an unknown material appears to weigh \( 285 \) \( \text{N} \) in air and \( 195 \) \( \text{N} \) when immersed in alcohol of specific gravity \( 0.700 \).
Determine the force needed to push a \( 150 \) \( \text{kg} \) body up a smooth \( 30^\circ \) incline with an acceleration of \( 6 \) \( \text{m/s}^2 \).
3 clay balls, labeled A, B, and C are launched from the same height at the same speed as shown above. A is launched at \( 30^\circ \) above horizontal, B is launched horizontally, and C is launched \( 30^\circ \) below the horizontal. They all hit the wall (before reaching the ground) in times \( t_A \), \( t_B \), and \( t_C \) respectively. Rank these times from least to greatest.

Two blocks, A and B, are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley. Block A, of mass \( 10 \) \( \text{kg} \), rests on a rough plane that makes an angle of \( 45^{\circ} \) with the horizontal, while block B, of mass \( 17 \) \( \text{kg} \), hangs vertically. Starting from rest, what is the minimum coefficient of static friction between block A and the plane required to keep the system in static equilibrium?
