PHYS 201 General Physics Final Exam Review Sheet • The final exam will be comprehensive. Look over your midterm exam review sheet and the midterm exam. • Here are some problems of the type you may expect on the exam. Many of these have been used in previous examinations. 1. A 150-gram arrow is shot straight up with a speed of 30.0 m/s. It reaches a height of 40.0 m. How much energy is lost due to air friction on the way up? (8.7 J) 2. What is the average force needed to stop a bullet of mass 20.0 grams and speed 500 m/s as it penetrates a wooden block to a distance of 12.0 cm? (2.08×104 N) Assuming a constant force, how long does it take to stop the bullet? (0.48 ms) 3. Suppose a child on a sled has just reached the bottom of 8th-street hill after sliding down the snow–covered slope. The mass of sled plus child is 20 kg, and the coefficient of friction between sled and snow is 0.08. The sled is travelling 10.0 m/s when it reaches the level street at the bottom of the hill.

Now consider a 25-kg sled travelling down a snow–covered slope which makes an angle of 15◦ with the horizontal. (A) Draw a free-body diagram of the sled. (B) Calculate the component of weight which is parallel to the slope of the hill. (C) Calculate the “normal force” of the hill on the sled. (D) The coefficient of kinetic friction between sled and snow is 0.3. Is the sled speeding up or slowing down? Calculate the acceleration (positive or negative) of the sled. (B): 63 N (C): 236 N (D): slowing, -0.32 m/s2 5. Fred Fearless is the “human cannonball” of a travelling circus. He is shot from a specially-made cannon which gives him a velocity of 15 m/s leaving the cannon muz˙ What is the vertical zle. The angle the cannon makes with the horizontal is 35◦ (A) component of Fred’s velocity upon leaving the cannon muzzle? (B) What is the horizontal component of velocity? (C) How long does it take him to reach his maximum height after leaving the cannon? (D) How far from the cannon should the net to catch Fred be placed? Assume that it is at the same height above ground as the muzzle of the cannon. (E) Find Fred’s velocity (magnitude and direction) 1.00 seconds after he leaves the cannon. (C): 0.88 s ; (D): 21.6 m; (E): 12.3 m/s at 5.5◦ below the horizontal. 1 6. A boccè ball is dropped on the planet Uranus. It drops 15 cubits in 2.0 seconds. Assuming that it continues falling freely, how many cubits does it drop in the next 4.0 seconds? (120 cubits) 7. We show here a graph of velocity versus time for a rubber ball dropped on a concrete floor. (a) What was the ball’s average velocity from time t = 4 to t = 7 seconds? From t = 0 to t = 4 seconds?

An Atwood’s machine is set up, with a 2.0 kg mass hanging on one side of a pulley and another, unknown mass on the other side. When the masses are let go, the acceleration of the 2.0 kg mass is found to be 2.0 m/s2 downward. (A) What is the tension in the string? (B) What is the unknown mass? 9. Suppose you are a passenger in a car and the driver has an object hung from his rearview mirror. The reason the driver did that is that, being highly educated (i.e. having taken physics) he knows that he can use this object as an accelerometer. While the driver is accelerating the car through a measured quarter–mile, you measure the angle at which the object is hanging and find it to be 25◦ from the vertical. (A) Draw a free-body diagram of the hanging mass in the above situation. (B) The mass of the object is 100 g. What is the tension in the string? Hint: the net vertical force must be zero. (1.08 N) (C) What is the horizontal component of the tension in the string? (0.46 N) (D) What is the acceleration of the car? (4.6 m/s2 ) 10. Draw representative position-vs-time graphs for (A) an object moving at a constant positive velocity; (B) an object moving at a constant negative velocity; (C) an object undergoing a positive acceleration; and (D) an object undergoing a negative acceleration. 2 11. A 2500-kg car is traveling 60 km/hr on a level highway. It is a rainy day and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the road is 0.15. The driver panics and hits the brakes, locking up all four wheels. Calculate the work done by friction as the car slides 50 m. 12.

A bicycle rider is coasting along, on level ground, with an intial speed of 8.0 m/s. The combined mass of rider and bicycle is 100 kg.

[20 m] (e) Calculate the force of friction on the bike. (Use the work-energy principle). (f) Suppose the rider starts pedalling to keep the speed of the bike at a constant 8.0 m/s. What is the power the rider must supply to keep the bike moving at this speed? [320 W ] 14. A man on a bicycle is moving at 20 m/s on the level. He approaches a hill and coasts up the hill.
