A child is practicing for a BMX race. His speed remains constant as he goes counterclockwise around a level track with two straight sections and two nearly semicircular sections as shown in the aerial view of Figure OQ5.9. (a) Rank the magnitudes of his acceleration at the points A, B, C, D, and E from largest to smallest. If his acceleration is the same size at two points, display that fact in your ranking. If his acceleration is zero, display that fact. (b) What are the directions of his velocity at points A, B, and C? For each point, choose one: north, south, east, west, or nonexistent. (c) What are the directions of his acceleration at points A, B, and C? Figure OQ5.9

A person whose weight is 516 N is being pulled up vertically by a rope from the bottom of a cave that is 30.5 m deep. The maximum tension that the rope can withstand without breaking is 593 N. What is the shortest time, starting from rest, in which the person can be brought out of the cave?
A car of mass 2,000 kg coasts down the highway with a constant velocity of v = 15.0 m/s. The car then goes over a hill 3.00 m vertically high. Which of these best describes the velocity of the car at the top of the hill? a. it's 15.0 m/s b. it's zero m/s c. it's less than 15.0 m/s d. it's greater than 15.0 m/s e. none of these
A model rocket is fired vertically from rest. It has a constant acceleration of 21.9 m/s^2 for the first 1.50 s. Then the fuel is exhausted, and it is in free fall. The rocket has a mass of 99.8 g, the mass of the fuel is much less than 99.8 g (I.e. ignore the mass of the fuel). Ignore air resistance. (a) Calculate how high does the rocket travel. (b) how long after lift-off does the rocket return to the ground.
A skier slides down a steep hill that is an angle of 60 degrees up from horizontal. If there was no friction, what would the skier’s acceleration be? a. 4.9 m/s^2 down the hill b. 8.48 m/s^2 down the hill c. 9.8 m/s^2 straight down d. 9.8 m/s^2 down the hill
Two penguins, Wheezy and Mumble, are racing down an icy slope into the water below. Wheezy has a mass of 22 kg. Mumble has a mass of 25 kg. The slope is angled at eight degrees to the horizontal. They both start from the same position at the same time, and slide down the icy slope entirely due to gravity alone. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.12 between the penguins and the ice. Who wins the race and what is the winner's acceleration when they reach the finish line (ie the water)?
A player kicks a soccer ball in a high arc toward the opponent's goal. At the highest point in its trajectory, whichis true? both the velocity and the acceleration of the soccer ball are zero. neither the ball's velocity nor its acceleration is zero. the ball's acceleration is zero, but its velocity is not zero. the ball's acceleration points upward. Why is it more difficult to start pushing a couch from rest than it is to maintain its motion at constant velocity? the normal force is larger when the couch is at rest. Because μk > μs It only seems more difficult Because μs > μk
