Practice Problems



1

Just as a car tops a 40 meter high hill with a speed of - km/h it runs out of gas and coasts from there, without friction or drag. How high, to the nearest meter, will the car coast up the next hill?

 

2

A pendulum has a mass of 3-kg, a length of 2 meters and swings through a (half)arc of degrees. What is its Amplitude to the nearest centimeter ?

 

3

A pendulum has a mass of 3-kg, a length of meter, and swings through a (half) arc of 30 degrees. To the tenth of a Joule, what is its maximum Kinetic Energy?

 

4

A pendulum has a mass of 3-kg, a length of 3 meters and swings through a (half)arc of radians. To the tenth of a Joule, what is its Total Energy?

 

5

A 2-kg metal plate slides down a 10-meter high slope. At the bottom its speed is m/s. To the nearest Joule, what was the magnitude of the work done by friction?

 

6

If the slope in the above problem is degrees and the speed at the bottom is 8 m/s, what is the coefficent of friction (to 2 decimal places)?

 

7

An unstretched spring with spring constant 20 N/cm is suspended from the ceiling. A -kg mass is attached to the spring and let fall. To the nearest tenth of a centimeter, how far does it stretch the spring?

 

8

An unstretched spring with spring constant N/cm is suspended from the ceiling. A 4-kg mass is attached to the spring and slowly let down. To the nearest tenth of a centimeter, how far does it stretch the spring?

 

9

A mass of 3 kg is dropped from a height of meters above a vertical spring anchored at its lower end to the floor. If the spring constant is 25 N/cm, how far to the nearest tenth of a cm, is the spring compressed?

 

10

If the mass in problem 9 is meters above the ground and the top of the spring is 3 meters above the ground when the mass is released, what is its kinetic energy, to the nearest Joule, just before it strikes the spring?
