Solve completely the following problems.

1. A runner travels 15 laps around a circular track in a time of 50s. The diameter of the track is
40m and its circumference is 126m. Find

a. The average speed of the runner

b. the magnitude of the runner's average velocity

2. A car starts from rest and coasts down a hill with a constant acceleration. If it goes 90m in 8s,
find

a. the acceleration

b. the velocity after 8s

3. An auto's velocity increases uniformly from 6.0m /s to 20m/s while covering 70m. Find the
acceleration and the time taken.
4. A rocket-propelled car starts from rest at and moves in the with a constant

acceleration of for 8s until the fuel is exhausted. It then continues with constant velocity.
What distance does the car cover in 12s?

5. The particle shown moves along with a constant acceleration of . As it passes the

origin, moving in the , its velocity is 20m/s. In this problem, time t is measured from the
moment the particle is first at the origin.
a. At what distance and time does ?

b. At what time is the particle and what is its velocity at this point?
c. What is the velocity of the particle at , and ?
6. A baseball is thrown straight upward with a speed of 30m/s.

a. How long will it rise?

b. How high will it rise?

c. How long after it leaves the hand will it return to the starting point?

d. When will its speed be 16m/s?

7. On certain stretch of track, trains run at 60 mph (96.56 kph). How far back of a stopped train
should be a warning torpedo be placed to signal an oncoming train? Assume that the brakes are
applied at once and retard the train at the uniform rate of 2 ft/sec (0.61 m/s2)?

8. A ball is shot vertically into the air at a velocity of 193.2 ft per second (58.9 m per sec). After 4
sec, another ball is shot vertically into the air. What initial velocity must the second ball have in
order to meet the first ball 386.4 ft (117.8 m) from the ground?
9. A hose lying on the ground shoots a stream of water upward at an angle of to the
horizontal. The speed of the water is 20 m/s as it leaves the hose. How high up will it strike a
wall which is 8.0m away?

10. A ball is thrown upward at an angle of to the horizontal and lands on the top edge of a
building that is 20m away. The top edge is 5.0m above the throwing pint. How fast was the ball
thrown?
11. A body projected upward from the level ground at an angle of with the horizontal has
an initial speed of 4. m/s.

a. How long will it take to hit the ground?

b. How far from the starting point will it strike?

c. At what angle with the horizontal will it strike?

12. A batter hits a baseball so that it leaves the bat at speed m/s at an angle of .

a. Find the position of the ball and the magnitude and direction of its velocity at .
b. Find the time when the ball reaches the highest point of its flight and find its height at this
point. c. Find the horizontal range (horizontal distance from the starting point to where
the ball hits the ground).
13. A ladder 3m long and weighing 200N has its center of gravity 120cm from the bottom. At its
top end is a 50N weight. Compute the work required to raise the ladder from a horizontal
position on the ground to a vertical position.

14. Compute the work done against gravity by a pump that discharges 600 liters of fuel oil into a
tank 20m above the pump's intake. One cubic centimeter of fuel oil has a mass of 0.82g. One
liter is 1000cm3.

15. A 4kg object is lifted 1.5 m. How much work is done against the Earth's gravity? Repeat if the
object is lowered instead of lifted.

16. Missy, the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother's Circus, had a kinetic energy of 12
000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy's mass is 40 kg, then what is her speed?
17. Two girls (masses and ) are on roller skates and stand at rest, close to each other
and face to face. Girl 1 pushes squarely against girl 2 and sends her moving backward. Assuming
the girls move freely on their skates, with what speed does girl 1 move?

18. During a soccer game a ball of mass 0.425 kg, which is initially at rest, is kicked by one of the
players. The ball moves off at a speed of 26 m/s. Given that the impact lasted for 8.0 ms, what
was the average force exerted on the ball?

19. Sand drops at a rate of 2000 kg/min from the bottom of a hopper onto a belt conveyer
moving horizontally at 250 m/min. Determine the force needed to drive the conveyer,
neglecting friction.
20. Molly was applying her makeup when she drove into South's busy parking lot last Friday
morning. Unaware that Patty was stopped in her lane 30 feet ahead, Molly rear-ended Patty's
rented Taurus. Molly's 1300-kg car was moving at 11 m/s and stopped in 0.14 seconds.

a. Determine the momentum change of Molly's car.

b. Determine the impulse experienced by Molly's car.
c. Determine the magnitude of the force experienced by Molly's car.
