During the stone s light, beore it reches its xiu height, its ccelertion is upwrd. its ccelertion is zero. the stone is in equilibriu. the net orce on the stone is downwrd. the ccelertion is decresing nd will becoe zero when the stone reches its xiu height boe the Moon s surce. 0. A gondol cr, o ss, is teporrily sttionry nd suspended t the hlwy point between two supports. The cble sgs t n ngle θ below the horizontl s shown. Ignoring the ss o the cble, the tension in the cble is g cosθ g cosθ g sinθ g sinθ g sinθ θ θ t (s) ge 6 o 9
My 3, 006; ge 7 1. The se net horizontl orce is pplied to seerl objects o dierent ss. Which one o the ollowing grphs o the resulting ccelertion plotted s unction o ss is the expected result o this experient?. A block o ss is t rest on n inclined plne tht kes n ngle θ with the horizontl. The gnitude o the orce o sttic riction s between the block nd the plne ust be such tht s > g θ s > g cosθ s = g cosθ s = g sinθ None o the boe: We need to know the coeicient o sttic riction between the block nd the plne to gie n nswer. 3. An eletor, supported only by steel cble, is descending t constnt speed. Ignoring ir resistnce, the tension in the cble is equl to the weight o the eletor nd its occupnts. greter thn the weight o the eletor nd its occupnts. less thn the weight o the eletor nd its occupnts. zero y be ny o the boe nswers depending on the speed. ge 7 o 9

The gnitudes o the orces re the se so tht the result is horizontl ccelertion o the two blocks to the right or to the let. The gnitude o the contct orce between the blocks 1 nd is F let 1 1 F right lrger when the orce is ro the right. lrger when the orce is ro the let. the se in both cses. ipossible to deterine ro the inortion gien. 5. A truck hs two ties the ss o cr, howeer the cr is oing with twice the speed o the truck. I K t nd K c re the kinetic energies o the truck nd the cr respectiely, it is correct to sy tht K t = K c. K t = K c. K t = K c. 4K t = K c. K t = 4K c. 6. Swiers t wter prk he choice between two rictionless wter slides (see igure). Although both slides drop oer the se height h, slide 1 is stright while slide is cured, dropping quickly t irst nd then leelling out. Assuing the swiers strt ro rest t the top o the slides, how does the speed 1 o swier reching the end o slide 1 copre to the speed o swier reching the end o slide? Slide 1 Slide h 1 h 1 = 1 > 1 < There is no siple reltionship between 1 nd. The nswer depends on the reltie sses o the swiers. 7. A book, o ss, is lited up ro the loor distnce h, then trnsported horizontlly distnce x, then lowered distnce d to inlly be resting on tble top. The work done by the orce o grity on the book during this otion is +g(h + x + d) +g(h d) g ( h d) + x g(h + x + d) g(h d) ge 8 o 9
