Activity No. 1

Name:_______________________________________________________________ Year & Sec.:________________

Instruction: This is a by pair activity. Solve the following problems and box in your final answer. Show your solution.

1. A 20 kilogram block of wood rests on the top of the smooth plane whose length is 4m and whose altitude is 1.2
m. How long will it take for the block to slide to the bottom of the plane when released?
2. A baseball is thrown from a horizontal plane following a parabolic path with an initial velocity of 75 ft/s at an
angle of 40° above the horizontal. How far from the throwing point will the ball attain its original level?
3. A 23 gram mass is moving at 30 cm/s while a 5 gram mass is moving in an opposite directon at 63 cm/s. They
collide head on and stick together. Find the velocity after collision.
4. A car begins driving from a stationary position. It accelerates at 4 m/s2 for 10 seconds, then travels at a steady
speed for another 10 seconds, all in the same direction. How much distance has it covered since it started
driving?
5. John stands on the ground and throws a ball directly upwards with a velocity of 5 m/s. What will be the final
velocity v of the ball just before it hits the ground? (Neglect air resistance.)
6. A lion starts at rest 26 m away from a clueless Jordan and charges towards him at a constant velocity of
+50km/h. It takes Jordan 1 s to react to the lion, turn around and begin running at a velocity of +5 m/s towards
his vehicle. Jordan's Land Rover is parked 6 m away from him and on the same axis as the lion's charge.
7. A cannon is firing a ball off a cliff as shown in the image. Find the velocity of the ball when it is passing point A.
Neglect air resistance.

8. Determine the maximum possible efficiency of an automobile engine with exhaust temperature of 132°C, and
the temperature of the burning gas in the engine is 650°C.
9. A steam turbine takes in steam at a temperature of 430°C and release steam to the condenser at a temperature
of 150°C. Calculate the Carnot efficiency for this engine.
10. Calculate the increase in internal energy, if a 0.75lbm object is travelling at a rate of 275 ft/s to enter a viscous
liquid and essentially brought to rest before it strikes the bottom. Consider the object and liquid as the system,
and assume the change in potential energy is negligible.
