Accepted Answer

$$8.6$$

Question 7

A football is kicked at $$35\ \mathrm{m/s} at an $$angle of $$33^\circ$$ with respect to the horizontal. Ignoring air resistance, what other angle (in degrees) would result in the same horizontal range?

Accepted Answer

$$57^\circ$$

Question 8

Three carts with masses $$M_1$$, $$M_2$$, and $$M_3$$ are connected and pulled to the right with force $$F as $$shown. Assuming negligible friction, what is the magnitude of the tension in the rope pulling the third cart ($$M_3$$)?

Accepted Answer

$$\displaystyle \frac{M_3$ F}{M_1$ + M_2$ + M_3$}$$

Question 9

Accepted Answer

$$22\ \mathrm{N}$$

Question 10

A $$9\ \mathrm{kg}$$ bucket of water is being lifted out of a well with an acceleration of $$1.3\ \mathrm{m/s}^2. $$Ignoring air resistance, what is the tension in the rope (in N, to two significant figures)?

Accepted Answer

$$100$$

Accepted Answer

$$4\ \mathrm{m/s}^2$$

Question 13

A projectile is launched from the ground with an initial speed $$v_0 at an $$angle $$	heta$$ above the horizontal. Which equation gives the time of flight until it returns to the ground?

Accepted Answer

$$t = \displaystyle \frac{2 v_0$ \sin 	heta}{g}$$

Question 14

A $$5\ \mathrm{kg}$$ box is pulled across a horizontal surface with a force of $$20\ \mathrm{N} at an $$angle of $$30^\circ$$ above the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is $$0.2$$, what is the acceleration of the box? (Use $$g = 9.8\ \mathrm{m/s}^2)$$

Accepted Answer

$$2.4\ \mathrm{m/s}^2$$

Question 15

A ball is thrown horizontally from a $$45\ \mathrm{m}$$ high cliff with a speed of $$10\ \mathrm{m/s}. $$How far from the base of the cliff does the ball land? (Neglect air resistance, $$g = 9.8\ \mathrm{m/s}^2)$$

Accepted Answer

$$30\ \mathrm{m}$$
