SNEAD STATE PHYSICS 1 FINAL EXAM | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | 2027 UPDATE | SOLVED 100% CORRECT. A 1500 kg car is traveling along a straight road at 20 m/s. Two seconds later its speed is 21 m/s. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the car during this time? - ANSWER -acceleration= 0.5 m/s^2 force= 750 N Are the objects described here in static equilibrium, dynamic equilibrium, or not in equilibrium at all? a) a girder is lifted at constant speed by a crane b) a grinder is lowered by a crane. It is slowing down. c) you're straining to hold a 200 lb barbell over your head d) a jet plane has reached its cruising speed and altitude e) a rock is falling into the grand canyon f) a box in the back of a truck does not slide as the truck stops - ANSWER -a) a girder is lifted at constant speed by a crane (Dynamic equilibrium) b) a grinder is lowered by a crane.

A 25 N pull on the other end causes the spring to stretch by 3.0 . What is the spring constant? - ANSWER -833.3 N/m How much force does it take to stretch a 10 m long, 1.0 cm diameter steel cable by 5.0 mm? - ANSWER -79 x 10^2 N At what speed do a bicycle and its rider, with a combined mass of 100 kg, have the same momentum as a 1500 kg car traveling at 1.0 m/s? - ANSWER -15 m/s A small, 100 g cart is moving at 1.20 m/s on a frictionless track when it collides with a larger, 1.00 kg cart at rest. After the collision, the small cart recoils at 0.850 m/s. What is the speed of the large cart after the collision? - ANSWER -0.205 m/s A little girl is going on the merry-go-round for the first time, and wants her 47 kg mother to stand next to her on the ride, 2.6 m from the merry-go-round's center. If her mother's speed is 4.2 m/s when the ride is in motion, what is her angular momentum around the center of the merry-go-round? - ANSWER -213.87 kg x m^2 /s A 2.0 kg book is lying on a 0.75 m high table, you pick it up and place it on a bookshelf 2.3 m above the floor. During this process, a) how much work foes gravity do on the book? b) how much work foes your hand do on the book? - ANSWER -a) -30.38 J b) 30.38 J Which has the larger kinetic energy, a 10 g bullet fired at 500 m/s or a 10 kg bowling ball sliding at 10 m/s? - ANSWER -the bullet has a larger kinetic energy
