Chapter 2, Problem 65 A juggler throws a ball straight up with an initial speed
of 10 m/s. With what speed would she need to throw a second ball, half a
second later, starting from the same position as the first ball, so that the
second ball hits the first ball at the top of the first ball's trajectory?
Solution:

Chapter 2, Problem 67 A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at
2.0 m/s2 for 6.0 s, then coasts for 2.0 s, then slows down at a rate of 1.5 m/s2
until the next stop sign is reached. Determine the distance between the stop
signs.
Solution:
Chapter 3, Problem 17 A car travelling at 30 m/s runs out of gas while

Chapter 3, Problem 33 On the Apollo 14 mission to the Moon, astronaut Alan
Shepard hit a golf ball with a golf club improvised from a tool. The free-fall
acceleration on the surface of the Moon is 1/6th that of the Earth. Suppose he
hit the ball with an initial speed of 25 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the
horizontal.
a. Determine how long the ball was in flight.
b. Determine how far the ball travelled (horizontally).
c. Ignoring air resistance, how much farther would the ball travel on the Moon
than on the Earth?
c. Repeat the calculation for Earth data, and you'll find that both the time of flight
and the horizontal distance are 6 times greater on the Moon.
Chapter 3, Problem 67 A spring-loaded gun, fired vertically, shoots a marble
6.0 m straight up. Determine the marble's range if it is fired horizontally from
1.5 m above the ground.
Solution: First determine the initial velocity of the marble.
Next, determine the time of flight for the second motion.

Next, determine the time of flight for the second motion.
Therefore, the range is
Chapter 3, Problem 77 A car moves around a circular road that has radius 110 m.
a. Determine the car's acceleration if the car moves through the curve at a constant
speed of 40 m/s.
b. At what speed would the car's acceleration be double the value calculated in Part
a?
Solution:
Chapter 5, Problem 41 A 500 kg piano is being lowered into position by a crane
while two people steady it with ropes pulling to the sides. Bob's rope pulls to the
left, 15 degrees below the horizontal, with 500 N of tension. Ellen's rope pulls to
the right, 25 degrees below the horizontal.
a. Determine the tension in Ellen's rope if the piano descends vertically at a
constant speed.
b. Determine the tension in the main cable supporting the piano.

Chapter 5, Problem 49 Bob, who has a mass of 75 kg, can throw a 500 g rock
with a speed of 30 m/s. The distance through which his hand moves as he
accelerates the rock forward from rest until he releases it is 1.0 m.
a. Determine the constant force Bob exerts on the rock.
b. If Bob is standing on frictionless ice, what is his recoil speed after releasing the
rock?
Solution: Bob clearly has a "rifle-arm."

Chapter 5, Problem 60 A person with compromised pinch strength in his
fingers can only exert a normal force of 6.0 N to either side of a pinch-held
object, such as a book. Determine the heaviest book he can hold if the
coefficient of static friction between his fingers and the surface of the book
is 0.80.
Solution:
Chapter 5, Problem 67 A wood block is sliding up a wood ramp. If the ramp is
very steep, the block will reverse direction at its highest point and slide back
down. If the ramp is shallow, the block will stop when it reaches its highest
point. Determine the smallest ramp angle, measured from the horizontal, for
which the block will slide back down. (Note that the coefficient of static friction
is 0.5 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.2.)
Solution: Once the block reaches its highest point, the forces acting on it along
the slope are a component of its weight and the frictional force. If the slope is
not large enough, then static friction will be able to balance the component of
weight along the slope. When the static friction force is maximum,
ExamReview Page 6
For larger angles, the block will slide back down, as the static friction force will not be
large enough to balance the component of the weight directed down the slope.

Some conceptual questions
ExamReview Page 21
When a ball is thrown vertically upward, the force acting on the ball in a vertically
upward direction gradually decreases as the ball's speed decreases.
When a ball is thrown vertically upward it gradually slows down, momentarily
stops, and then falls down again. When it momentarily stops, the net force acting
on the ball is zero.

tower, it drops a package of physics textbooks. The package lands to the West of
the tower.

When a heavy truck collides with a light car, the force that the truck exerts on
the car is greater than the force that the car exerts on the truck.
An elevator is lifted up at a constant speed by a steel cable. The force that the
cable exerts on the elevator cabin is greater than the force that gravity exerts on
the elevator cabin.
A passenger in a car moving very fast around a circular curve feels that he or
she is "thrown" towards the outside of the curve because of a force that pushes
objects away from the centre of the circular curve.

If we assume no air resistance, then for a projectile motion the net force in the
horizontal direction is constant but the net force in the vertical direction is not
constant.
A horse is hitched to a cart. The driver says, "Giddyup!", but the horse doesn't move. He
argues (yes, he's a talking horse) that there is no point in exerting any effort, because no
motion is possible, because of Newton's third law. "After all," says the horse, "when I exert
a force on the cart, by Newton's third law the cart exerts an equal and opposite force on
me. The net force is therefore zero, and nothing moves." Explain.
