Problem 1
A 500 g model rocket is on a cart that is rolling
to the right at a speed of 3.0 m/s. The rocket
engine, when it is fired , exerts an 8.0 N thrust
on the rocket. Your goal is to have the rocket
pass through a small horizontal loop that is 20
m above the launch point. At what horizontal
point to the left of the hoop should you
launch?

Analysis: Essentially a projectile motion problem with
positive vertical acceleration and constant horizontal
velocity. Assume a particle model. Compute the time

Problem 4
A student has 65 cm arm length. What is the minimum angular velocity,
in rpm, for swinging bucket of water in a vertical circle without spilling
any? The distance from the handle to the bottom of the bucket is 35 cm.
Analysis: The minimum angular velocity for swinging a
bucket of water in a vertical circle without spilling any
water corresponds to the case when the speed of the
bucket is critical. In this case, n = 0 N when the bucket is
in the top position of the circular motion.

A car is tested on a 200 m diameter track. If the car speeds up at a
steady 1.5 m/s2, how long after starting is the magnitude of its
centripetal accelerations equal to the tangential acceleration?
Analysis: NUCM; we know at = 1.5 m/s2 from that we should be able to
determine the angular velocity and acceleration, ω and α, and then the time.

Problem 6
A popular pastime is to see who ca push an object closest to the
edge of a table without its going off. You push the 100 g object and
release it 2.0 m from the table edge. Unfortunately you push a little
too hard. The object slides across, sails off the edge, falls 1.0 m to
the floor, and lands 30 cm from the edge of the table. If the
coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.50, what was the object’s speed as
you released it?
Analysis: After release velocity is
affected by friction only. When it
reaches the edge of the table it
becomes a projectile motion
problem with horizontal velocity
constant. Best approaches appear
to be to work backward from the
projectile motion to the release
velocity.

Problem 7
A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.0 m high, 20° ramp, sail
across a 10 m wide pool filled with crocodiles, and land at ground
level on the other side. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies
just as he starts up the ramp. He is going 11 m/s at that instant, and
the coefficient of rolling friction is 0.02. Does he make it?
Analysis: Two part problem: First is a
ramp problem to determine velocity at
end of ramp. Second part is a
projectile motion problem determining
how far right he will travel while
dropping 2.0 m. Different sets of axes
will be required for each part.

Problem 7 con’t
First find the acceleration parallel to the ramp:
(Fnet )|| = -fr - mgsin20°
= -μrn - mgsin20°
= -μrmgcos20° - mgsin20° = ma0
Dividing by M and solving for a0 gives:
a0 = -g(μr cos20° + sin20°)
= -(9.8 m / s2 )((0.02)cos20° + sin20°) = -3.536 m / s2
The length of the ramp is 2 m/ sin 20° = 5.85 m
Using v12 = v02 + 2a0 (s1 - s0 )
v1 = (11.0 m / s)2 + 2(-3.536 m / s2 )(5.85 m) = 8.92 m / s

Now we have the velocity at the beginning
of projectile motion. Axes are now
horizontal and vertical. Velocity
components are:
v1x = v1cos20° = 8.38 m s
v1y = v1sin20° = 3.05 m S
Time in the air is given by:
y2 = 0 m = y1 + v1y t + 21 a1y t 2 For Δt = t 2 - t1
= 2.0 m + (3.05 m / s) t - (4.90 m / s2 ) t 2
t = 1.021s
X2 is given by: 8.38 m/s (Δt) = 8.56 m.

Problem 8
A concrete highway curve of radius 70 m is banked at a 15° angle.
What is the maximum speed with which a 1500 kg rubber tired car can
take this curve without sliding?
The summation of r and z forces gives:
mv2
Fr = fkcosθ + nsinθ = r
Fz = ncosθ - fk sinθ - FG = 0
Maximum speed is when the static friction force
reaches its maximum value  fk max = μkn.
Substituting this into the above equations gives:
mv2
n μscos15° + sin15°  =
r
n  cos15° - μs sin15°  = mg
Dividing the bottom into the top gives:

Problem 9
A conical pendulum is formed by attaching a 500g ball
to a 1.0 m long string, then allowing the mass to move
in a horizontal circle of radius 20 cm. a. Find the
tension is the string and b. the angular speed of the
ball in rpm.
Analysis: The mass moves in a horizontal circle of radius
The acceleration and the net force vector point to the
center of the circle, not along the string. The only two
forces are the string tension, which does point along the
string, and the gravitational force. These are shown in
the free-body diagram. Newton’s second law for circular
motion is
