STRATEGY
We interpret this as a problem involving the
relationship between position, velocity, and
acceleration. Additionally, we are interested in the
difference between instantaneous velocity and
average velocity.
IMPLEMENTATION
We are given the position equation, so in order to
arrive at a value for velocity at one given instant,
we will need to take the derivative of the equation
with respect to time (

). To find the
average velocity, we calculate the change in
position over a given length of time ( ̅

STRATEGY
This is a projectile motion problem where the only acceleration affecting the motion is
assumed to be due to gravity, acting vertically downward. We need to apply the basic
kinematics equations separately for the motion in the horizontal, x-direction, and the
vertical, y-direction. In this problem there is no horizontal acceleration, so the release
distance will be the horizontal velocity times the flight time. The flight time will come from
analyzing the vertical motion - knowing the total distance and the bomb’s initial vertical
velocity. The kinematics equations we will need are
and
.
These equations can be written for both motion in the x- and y-directions with the flight
time t being a common variable.
IMPLEMENTATION
First, we need to establish an origin and coordinate
system.
Let’s set the origin at the point of release of
the bomb with the x-axis pointed to the right and
the y-axis pointed up (in a standard configuration).
Now, we will determine the flight time (i.e. the time
that the flour bomb travels from release to impact).
The aircraft is flying in level flight, so the initial
velocity in the y-direction v0y is zero. Also, the only
acceleration is due to gravity, acting in a downward
direction (g=-9.8 m/s2).
We will manipulate
and solve
for flight time. Note that using our origin set at the point of release, the final position (yf)
will be a negative 1500 m.
DocumentationStatement:
32
Physics110HJournal‐2013‐2014
Lesson5
Now that we have the flight time, we will use
to solve for the
to determine the vertical speed of the bomb. There is no
release distance and
horizontal acceleration, so the horizontal velocity of the bomb is the same as when it was
part of the aircraft.
CALCULATION
First, determine the flight time in the vertical direction.

Anaircrafttravelingataconstant150m/smakesa360°turnata
constantaltitude(referredtoaslevelflight).Iftheaircraft’s
accelerationtowardthecenteroftheturnis1.5g,whatistheradius
oftheturn?
STRATEGY
This is a problem involving uniform circular motion (UCM), where several things in the
horizontal are uniform: radius (r), tangential speed (vtan), and the center-directed
acceleration (acentripetal). The aircraft experiences NO acceleration in the vertical direction.
The center-directed acceleration (acentripetal) is related to the tangential velocity by the UCM
basic relationship:
IMPLEMENTATION
First, we need to determine the magnitude of the
center-directed acceleration. We are given that it is
1.5 g. This means 1.5 times the acceleration due to
gravity (9.8 m/s2). Next, we will manipulate the
UCM basic relationship so that r is alone on the left
side of the equation. We then solve for the radius.
CALCULATION
First, manipulate the UCM basic relationship to solve for r :
becomes
Now, substitute and solve:
150m/s
1.5 9.8m/s

b)Withwhatforceisthecargosledpullingbackonthepassengersled?
STRATEGY
The accelerating sleds are subject to Newton’s Second Law, which states that the
acceleration of an object is proportional to the applied force and inversely proportional to
the mass of the accelerating object. To answer part (a), we apply the law to the sled train
with the combined mass of 138 kg and solve the resulting equation for the unknown
applied force.
Newton’s Third Law states that when two
objects are connected and the first one exerts
a force on the second one, the second one
responds with a reaction force of the same
magnitude, acting back on the first one.
Since we know the mass and the acceleration
of the cargo sled, we can determine the
applied force exerted on the cargo sled by the
passenger sled. It is the passenger sled that
pulls the cargo sled, not the dogs directly.
The reaction force exerted by the cargo sled
on the passenger sled has the same
magnitude as the force exerted by the passenger sled on the cargo sled and is pulling back
on it.

STRATEGY
30°
Newton’s Second Law as applied to the block states that the acceleration of the block
given by
. In this problem, we have two forces acting on the block: weight
is
and
the normal force . These forces act in the x– and y-directions, so we need to separate
each force into its components. Once in component form, we can sum the forces in each
direction and apply Newton’s Second Law to find acceleration.
Because the motion of the
block is along the incline, we “tilt” the coordinate system of our free-body diagram to
align with the incline of the ramp and the normal force that is acting on the block.
IMPLEMENTATION
Let’s draw a free-body diagram for our object of
interest: the block.
There are two forces acting on
the block, weight and normal force, that are
included in the diagram. Since the block is moving
down the ramp, we use a tilted coordinate system.
The net force on the block in the x-direction is:
sin
The net force on the block in the y-direction is:
cos
DocumentationStatement:

Physics110HJournal‐2013‐2014
Lesson11
CALCULATION
The acceleration in the y-direction (perpendicular to the incline as defined by our
coordinate system) is zero. To find the acceleration of the block, we need to solve for the
acceleration in the x-direction
. Cancelling mass in the net force equation above gives:

shown.Ifthetractorappliesaforceof20kN,determinethe
accelerationofthecowoutoftheravine.Assumetheropeand
pulleyaremasslessandtheropedoesnotstretch.
STRATEGY
There are multiple components in this problem (tractor, rope, pulley, and cow), so we need
first to determine which objects are of interest. Once we have identified the objects of
interest, we will draw free-body diagrams for each and apply Newton’s Second Law (N2L).
IMPLEMENTATION
For this problem, we are only interested in the tractor and the cow since the rope and
pulley are massless. Let’s draw free-body
diagrams for each object and apply Newton’s
Second Law, summing the forces acting on each
object. This operation will give us separate
equations that include forces and accelerations.
Since the objects are connected by a massless
rope that does not stretch, the magnitudes of
the tensions and accelerations are the same.
We can then solve for the unknown
acceleration.

STRATEGY
Work done by a force is defined as the dot product of the applied force and the
displacement:
⋅∆
,where θ is the angle between the direction of the
∆ force vector and the direction of the displacement vector.
To find the work done by the man, we find the force he applies to the crate, the
displacement, and θ, then compute the dot product between work and displacement.
IMPLEMENTATION

Since the crate is moving at constant speed,
(acceleration is zero), the net force on the
crate must be zero. The net force on the
crate is the vector sum of the force applied
by the man

and the force of kinetic
.
Note that the force of friction depends on
the direction of the man’s force because the
man’s force affects the normal force (unless
he pulls horizontally.)
The force of kinetic friction = (coefficient of friction) (normal force)

Averticalspringwithaspringconstantk=150N/miscompresseddown1.5m.A2‐kgballis
placedonthecompressedspringandreleasedfromrest.Whatheightdoestheballreachafteritis

STRATEGY
This problem involves two examples of potential energy: the elastic energy of a compressed
(or stretched) spring and the gravitational potential energy as an object moves from one
elevation to another. An object is said to possess potential energy if, because of its
condition, it can generate kinetic energy. A ball on a spring, for example, can be propelled
by the force of the spring and gain kinetic energy. A ball can be dropped from a height
and be propelled by the force of gravity and gain kinetic energy. Potential energy is
traditionally denoted by the symbol U.
The change in the elastic potential energy as a spring’s vertical extension changes from y1
to y2 is given by
1
2
Δ
1
2
The change in the gravitational potential energy as an object of mass m moves from height
y2 to height y3 is given by

We solve the problem by comparing the energy imparted to the ball by the compressed
spring to the energy lost by the ball as it climbs against the force of gravity. Symbolically

STRATEGY
The spacecraft is in orbit about mars, meaning that
it is traveling in a circular path 200 km above the
surface of Mars. Since the orbit is circular, the
motion of the spacecraft (and everything on board it
including the pen) is undergoing centripetal motion;
the acceleration is therefore centripetal acceleration.
IMPLEMENTATION

2. What is the gravitational force?
By combining the gravitational force with Newton’s
Second Law, we can find the acceleration of the spacecraft and everything on board.

The point described above is called the center-ofmass of the system. Under the action of external
forces the assembly of the masses moves as if it were
a single mass. For example, in projectile motion the
center of mass of the four masses will follow a
parabola.
The location of the center of mass point is given by
⋯
⋯
IMPLEMENTATION
We choose a coordinate system for the assembly of the four masses and apply the centerof-mass equation. Any coordinate system will work. We choose the origin of our system to
be the center of the square.

3m/sand
ballshaveinitialvelocitiesof 3m/s.Immediatelyafterthecollision
2m/s,whatisv1final?
STRATEGY
This is a one-dimensional Conservation of
Linear Momentum problem. To use the
concept of conservation of momentum, we
must ensure that there is no net external
force acting on the system. Since 1) we are
only interested in what happens immediately
before and after the collision, and 2) the
collision is brief, we can assume that any
external forces acting on the balls are
negligible. Because of these conditions, we
say that linear momentum is conserved in
collisions. (Note that linear momentum can
be conserved during other interactions as long as the condition of no net external forces is
met.) The Conservation of Linear Momentum equation is ∑
specific to this problem,
,and,
∑
.As the figure
shows it is possible for one of the balls to have a negative velocity (oppositely directed) after
or prior to the collision.
IMPLEMENTATION
We will designate a standard x-y coordinate system as shown. We will use the
conservation of linear momentum equation and solve it for v1final.

STRATEGY
Since total linear momentum (
) is conserved in any collision, we can use the
∑
conservation of linear momentum to obtain the set of equations we need to solve for the
velocity of puck 1. We can then compare the kinetic energies before and after the collision.
If the kinetic energies before and after the collision are the same (conserved), the collision
was elastic.
IMPLEMENTATION
Since total momentum is conserved we have:
=
Writing this expression in terms of x- and ycomponents gives us two equations with two
unknowns – the magnitude and direction of the
velocity of the first puck –which we will solve. To
see if the collision was elastic we compare the
kinetic energies before and after the collision

We use the relation:linearquantity=(radius)times(correspondingangularquantity).

linearspeedalongthearc=(radius)times(angularspeed)

tangentialacceleration=(radius)times(angularacceleration)
The above relations are valid if the angles are measured in radians. The tangential
acceleration at is non-zero if the angular speed is changing. Whenever the angular speed is
non-zero, there is always a centripetal acceleration,
, responsible for changing the
direction of the tangential velocity.
IMPLEMENTATION
The angular speed is given in revolutions per minute. Since
there are 2π radians in a revolution and 60 seconds in a

STRATEGY
For this problem, we are interested in the applied torque τ. Torque is the rotational analog
to force; it is the effectiveness of a force to cause an object to rotate about a pivot point.
To solve for torque, we need to consider 1) the magnitude of the applied force F, 2) how
far from the pivot point the force is applied r, and 3) the angle that the force is applied θ.
IMPLEMENTATION
Let’s draw a diagram and label the applied force vector
the vector
,
that goes from the pivot point to the where the
force is applied, and the angle θ between
and
. Note
that the angle θ is not 55°, but (180° - 55°) = 125°.

STRATEGY
First, we draw free-body diagrams and apply Newton’s Second Law for each of the two
masses and Newton’s Law for rotational motion for the pulley. We then solve the system of
three equations for the common acceleration. The system of equations has three
unknowns, the acceleration and the two tensions. Since the inertia of the pulley is not
negligible, the tension on the left side of the pulley is not the
same as the tension on the right side of the pulley.
IMPLEMENTATION
The 50-kg block, m:

The lengths of the arrows do not indicate the magnitudes of
the forces since we don’t know those until we make the

torque, defined as the applied force multiplied by the perpendicular distance to the axis of
rotation from the application point of the force.
The net torque on the pulley is:
–
The Newton’s Law equation for the pulley reads:

The three equations now read:
– 30° – – The angular acceleration and the linear acceleration are related by a = αr.
Solving for the acceleration we get:

The sign of the calculated acceleration is positive. That means that the 50-kg mass is

Approximatingtheboulderasasolidspherewithradius3m,whatisthespeedoftheboulderatthe
bottomofthehillafterithasundergoneaverticaldisplacementof100m?
STRATEGY
We will use the principle of conservation of mechanical
energy to solve for the speed of the boulder at the
bottom of the hill.
Conservation of mechanical energy applies to this
problem, because, although frictional force is acting on
the boulder causing it to roll, no work is done by friction
on the boulder.
IMPLEMENTATION
First, we need to determine the types of mechanical energy in both the initial (top of the
hill) and the final (bottom of the hill) states. Since the boulder is initially at rest, it has
only gravitational potential energy. The total mechanical energy
at
the top of the hill is
given by
After the boulder has undergone a vertical displacement of 100 m, the gravitational
potential energy has been converted to translational and rotational kinetic energy. In the
final state, the boulder will have a combination of gravitational potential energy,
translational kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy. If we take the bottom of the hill
to be where the gravitational potential energy is zero, the total mechanic energy
final state becomes
1

in
the

The total mechanical energy at the top and at the bottom of the hill is the same
(conserved), so our conservation of mechanical energy equation becomes 1

Now we can solve for the translational speed of the boulder at the bottom of the hill. The
rotational kinetic energy is dependent on the rotational inertia and angular velocity of the

boulder. We are told that the boulder is (a) a solid sphere and (b) that is not slipping as it
rolls – this means that we can use the rotational inertia of a solid sphere
relationship between angular speed and translational speed
and the
to put rotational kinetic
energy in terms of the mass, radius, and translational speed of the boulder.
This equation can be simplified further as mass of the boulder appears on both sides of the
equation and can be cancelled.

Solving for the translational speed of the boulder at the bottom of the hill becomes:

STRATEGY
The problem asks about vector quantities, thus the answers have both a magnitude and a
direction component which can be considered separately. First, we find the magnitude of
the angular velocity and use this to find the magnitude of the average acceleration. To find
the direction of the angular velocity and acceleration, we will use the right hand rule to
find the velocity direction and from that, deduce the direction of the angular acceleration.
IMPLEMENTATION
To find the magnitude of the velocity, we apply unit analysis. We find the magnitude of

c) The wheel is rotating forward, so if the fingers of our right hand point wrap forward
and down – mimicking the motion of the wheel - then our thumb points to the left (west)
which is the direction of the angular velocity. When the car is traveling east, the righthand rule gives us a thumb pointing towards the top of the page (north). To find the
direction of the acceleration vector, we draw a vector going from the tip of the west arrow
to the tip of the north velocity vector. Thus the acceleration vector is to the north east.

STRATEGY
This problem is an example of a rotational collision.
If the wheel spins freely, there is no net torque
acting on the system as a whole, so long as the
system includes both the wheel and the projectile.
In this case, the total angular momentum cannot
change (see N2LRot).
IMPLEMENTATION
The initial angular momentum is that of the
projectile:
The final angular momentum is that of the wheel plus the projectile attached to the fin:
Solving for the final angular velocity we get:

Notice that the result depends on the positioning of the launcher relative to the axle of the

STRATEGY
30cm
Since the spring starts at rest, the system has potential energy, but no kinetic energy.
When the spring is released, the total mechanical energy of the system is conserved. This
means that when the initial potential energy is equal to 2/3 of it’s initial value, the kinetic
energy will be half the potential energy of the system.

1. What is the spring potential energy of the system as a function of position?

STRATEGY(Fillintheblank)
Since the wheel has an angular acceleration, there is
tangential linear acceleration . We note that the linear
acceleration depends on the radius, i.e. points farther from
the center have larger linear accelerations (as well as larger
linear velocities.) The rotating points also have a centripetal
acceleration, directed at the center of rotation. We calculate both accelerations and add
the two vectors, which are perpendicular to each other.
CALCULATION
The tangential acceleration at = _____ x _____ = 4.5 m/s2
The centripetal acceleration is equal to
For the equation
/ . In terms of angular velocity
to be valid, the angular velocity has to be in radians.
To convert 120 rpm into radians we write

STRATEGY(Fillintheblanks.)
The rotational inertia of an object that consists of multiple discrete masses depends on how
those discrete masses are spatially distributed relative to the axis of rotation.
For this problem, the object consists of three
components: _______________, _______________, and
___________ connecting the two weights. The thin rod
has negligible mass, so it does not contribute to the
rotational inertia of the system. To determine the
rotational inertia of the system, we will sum the
rotational inertia of each component.
CALCULATION(Fillintheblanks.)
The rotational inertia of the object is determined by summing the individual rotational
inertias for each discrete mass.
When the rotation axis is through the center of the rod, the rotational inertia is:
