  1. A 1800 kg car travels 200 m at 30 m/s while rounding an unbanked curve of radius 200 m. Assuming that the car does not slide, the work done by static friction during this motion is (a) 7.9  104 J (b) 1.2  104 J (c) 400 J (d) 270 J (e) zero

4. At t = 0 a 2 kg particle has a velocity of ( 4

  1. A spring stores 25 J of energy when compressed by 10 cm from its relaxed length. Its spring constant is (a) 2500 N/m (b) 5000 N/m (c) 500 N/m (d) 250 N/m (e) 7540 N/m
  2. In the figure below, a frictionless roller-coaster car of mass m = 500 kg tops the first hill of height h = 40 m at a speed v o = 8 m/s. Taking the zero of gravitational potential energy at this point, the gravitational potential energy of the car at point C (height = 0 m) is (a) 196,000 J (b) 196,000 J (c) 98,000 J (d) 98,000 J (e) 20,000 J
  3. The diagram below shows two salamis supported by cords running over frictionless pulleys and attached to a spring scale. The salamis are 10 kg each. The reading of the scale is (a) 98 N (b) 196 N (c) 0 N (d) 49 N (e) 147 N
  1. A 2 kg and a 4 kg box are connected by a light spring compressed between them, as shown in the diagram. Both boxes are initially at rest, and are then released. The horizontal surface is frictionless.

Part B, show-your-work: Work the following problems, providing enough detail so we can follow what you are doing. Show all steps if necessary. If a question requires a numerical answer, draw a box around your answer. Make sure that you include units. Partial credit will be given for incomplete or partially incorrect answers. Write legibly – we cannot give credit if we cannot read your writing.

  1. A ball of mass m = 200 g and traveling to the right strikes a wall head-on with a speed of 8. m/s and rebounds to the left with only 25% of its initial kinetic energy. (a) (5 points) Calculate its speed immediately after rebounding from the wall. (b) (5points) Calculate the impulse (magnitude and direction) that the ball gave to the wall. (c) (5 points) Assuming that the wall and ball were in contact for 5.0 ms, calculate the average force (magnitude and direction) that the ball exerted on the wall.
