Two objects one having three times the mass of the other, are dropped from the same height in a vacuum. At the end of their fall, their velocities are equal because: OA) anything falling in vacuum has constant velocity OB) all objects reach the same terminal velocity OC) the acceleration of the larger object is three times greater than that of the smaller object OD) the force of gravity is the same for both objects El none of the above

You are riding a luxury bus. In front of you is a cup of tea resting on the seat-back tray. Which of the following events may lead to spilled tea in your lap? The bus a. remains at rest, b. moves at constant velocity, c. speeds up or d. slows down. Dont worry about other circumstances such as a person knocking your cup over. (More than one choice may be correct.) Explain your answers.
The two barges shown here are coupled by a cable of negligible mass. The mass of the front barge is 2.00103kgand the mass of the rear barge is 3.00103kg . A tugboat pulls the front barge with a horizontal force of magnitude 20.0103N . and the frictional forces of the water on the front and rear barges are 8.00103Nand 10.0103N . respectively. Find the horizontal acceleration of the barges and the tension in the connecting cable.
A soft tennis ball is dropped onto a hard floor from a height of 1.50 m and rebounds to a height of 1.10 m. (a) Calculate its velocity just before it strikes the floor. (b) Calculate its velocity just after It leaves the floor on its way back up. (c) Calculate its acceleration during contact with the floor if that contact lasts 3.50 ms (3.50103s) (d) How much did the ball compress during its collision with the floor, assuming the floor is absolutely rigid?
A large crate of mass m is placed on the flatbed of a truck but not tied down. As the truck accelerates forward with acceleration a, the crate remains at rest relative to the truck. What force causes the crate to accelerate? (a) the normal force (b) the gravitational force (c) the friction force (d) the ma force exerted by the crate (e) No force is required.
A seaplane of total mass m lands on a lake with initial speed vii. The only horizontal force on it is a resistive force on its pontoons from the water. The resistive force is proportional to the velocity of the seaplane: R=hv. Newtons second law applied to the plane is bvi=m(dv/dt)i. From the fundamental theorem of calculus, this differential equation implies that the speed changes according to vivdvv=bm0tdt (a) Carry nut the integration to determine the speed of the seaplane as a function of time. (b) Sketch a graph of the speed as a function of time. (c) Does the seaplane come to a complete stop after a finite interval of time? (d) Does the seaplane travel a finite distance in stopping?
The manager of a department store is pushing horizontally with a force of magnitude 200 N on a box of shirts. The box is sliding across the horizontal floor with a forward acceleration. Nothing else touches the box. What must be true about the magnitude of the force of kinetic friction acting on the box (choose one)? (a) It is greater than 200 N. (b) It is less than 200 N. (c) It is equal to 200 N. (d) None of those statements is necessarily true.
A machine at a post office sends packages out a chute and down a ramp to be loaded into delivery vehicles. (a) Calculate the acceleration of a box heading down a 10.0slope, assuming the coefficient of friction for a parcel on waxed wood is 0.100. (b) Find the angle of the slope down which this box could move at a constant velocity. You can neglect air resistance in both parts.

-m rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls sideways on the midpoint of the rope, displacing it a distance of 2 m. If he exerts a force of 80 N under these conditions, determine the force exerted on the car.
Elisha Graves Otis invented the elevator brake in the mid-1800s, making it possible to build tall skyscrapers with fast elevators. Todays skyscrapers are a large fraction of a mile tall; for example. Taipei 101 in Taiwan has 101 stories and is 515 m (0.32 miles) tall. The top speed of the elevator in the Taipei 101 tower is roughly three times greater than the ascent rate of a commercial jet airplane. The position and time data in the table are based on such an elevator. a. Working in SI units, make a position-versus-time graph for the elevator. (You may wish to use a spreadsheet program.) b. Describe the motion of the elevator in words. c. Find the highest speed of the elevator. When is the elevator going at this speed? d. What sort of considerations would the engineers need to make to ensure the comfort of the passengers?
What is a possible state of an object in the absence of a net force? (3.2) (a) at rest (b) constant speed (c) zero acceleration (d) all of the preceding
