A second piece of wood sits on top of the first piece, and does not touch the water. If the top piece is taken off and removed, what happens to the water level in the tub? A) It does not change. B) It goes down. C) It goes up. D) It cannot be determined without knowing the masses of the two pieces of wood. E) It cannot be determined without knowing the densities of the two pieces of wood. The buoyant force on the two blocks is equal to the weight of the displaced water and equal to the combined weight of the blocks. After the top block is removed, the buoyant force on the single block is equal to the weight of the displaced water and to the weight of the single block. The single block weighs less than the two block together. Therefore, after the top block is removed less water is displaced and the water level in the bathtub drops.

For general projectile motion with no air resistance, the horizontal component of a projectile's velocity A) continuously increases. B) first decreases and then increases. C) continuously decreases. D) remains zero. E) remains a non-zero constant. For general projectile motion with no air resistance, there s no acceleration along the horizontal axis.

88. Consider two same-size cubes. One is made of solid iron, the other is made of solid wood. When put in water, the iron block sinks to the ground whereas the wood block floats. Which of the statements regarding the buoyant forces on the two blocks is correct. A) The buoyant force on the iron block is larger. B) The buoyant force on the wood block is larger. The buoyant force on the iron block is zero. C) The buoyant force on the iron block and the buoyant force on the wood block are the same and non-zero. D) The buoyant force on the wood block is larger. The buoyant force on the iron block is non-zero. E) The buoyant force on the iron block and the buoyant force on the wood block are both zero. The buoyant force on the iron block is larger. Since the iron block is fully submerged the amount of displaced water by the iron block is larger than the one by the wood block. 89.

A) tangent to the curve opposite to the direction of the car's motion B) perpendicular to the curve inward C) tangent to the curve in the forward direction D) perpendicular to the curve outward E) There is no friction on the car because its speed is constant.

Laboratory final exam 90. In the collisions experiment, you obtained traces of the motion of a puck like the one shown below: This trace is produced by the sparks generated at a rate of 60 sparks per second. The distance between the first and last point in the trace shown above is measured with a standard metric ruler and found to be 3.40 cm. Due to the limitations of the ruler, we can estimate the uncertainty in the reading to be ± 0.5 mm. You may neglect the uncertainty in the spark generator frequency. What is the uncertainty in the speed of the puck? A. ± 0.5 mm/s B. ± 1 mm/s C. ± 3 mm/s D. ± 5 mm/s E. ± 3 cm/s There are 6 gaps between sparks. Since they come at a rate of 60 sparks per second the time interval between the first and the last spark is 0.1 seconds. The puck moves at a speed of v = 3.4 cm / 0.10 s = 34.0 cm/s. The uncertainty in the distance between the first and the last spark is ± 0.5 mm. Therefore, the uncertainty in the speed is given by Δv = ± 0.5 mm / 0.10 s = ± 5 mm/s.
91. In the Forces and Motion experiment, a force probe is fixed to a cart that can roll with or without friction on a track. The whole system (probe + cart) is pulled through a hook screwed onto the probe by a light string that goes through a pulley and has a cylindrical weight attached to the other end (see figure). Motion detector Reflective plate Force probe Pulley Cart Aluminum track Which of the following most accurately describes what the probe measures? A. The net force on the cart + probe system B. The net force on the probe alone C. The tension in the string D. The weight of the cylinder that pulls on the system E. The weight of the cart + probe system Weight The probe measures the tension in the string. To see that A) and B) are incorrect, consider a situation with a large kinetic friction force. The cart would almost not move, but the probe would still measure the tension in the string, which in this case would be close to the weight of the cylinder. On the other hand the acceleration and thus the net force on the cart or cart-and-probe system would be almost zero. Only, if the car and probe system is not being accelerated, the tension in the string is equal to the mass of the cylinder. So, in general D) is incorrect. In no situation, does the probe directly measure the weight of the cart and probe system.
92. A ball is thrown across a yard at different angles with the horizontal. The initial velocity v0 is expected to be the same for all throws. For each initial angle q, we measure the horizontal distance Dx covered by the ball. For a projectile that starts and ends at the same height, the theoretical relation between the two quantities is: D x = ( q ) v 2 sin 2 0 g v0 q Dx As expected, the plot of Dx versus sin( 2q ) is linear, so a linear fit was performed. What was the initial velocity of the ball during these throws? A. 1.2 m/s B. 3.7 m/s C. 6.8 m/s D. 11 m/s E. 25 m/s
According to the theoretical prediction, the slope of this graph should be equal to 2 ( ) g ( )( ) v0 = slope = 1.38 m 9.8 m/s = 3.7 m/s 2 v 0 g. Therefore,
