Unit 2 Review Questions
1. A toy gun fires a 9.41-g projectile disc by using a compressed spring (k = 1.72 × 103 N/m) and a 13.1 cm long barrel. As the disc travels through the barrel, it experiences a constant frictional force of 0.13 N. If the spring is compressed 14 mm, what is the speed of the disc as it leaves the gun?
2. A 23-kg block slides 18 m on level ground before coming to rest. If 430 J of work are done by friction, calculate the coefficient of friction between the block and the ground.
3. A robin of mass 110 g speeds up from 12.3 m/s to 15.4 m/s in level flight. Calculate how much work is done by the robin.
4. A ball starts from rest and rolls 5.8 m down a short ramp so that it drops 1.8 m vertically. Calculate the acceleration of the ball.
5. A spring is suspended from a ceiling and a 256-g mass is attached to it and pulled down to stretch the spring by 18.2 cm. The mass is released and travels through the equilibrium position with a speed of 0.746 m/s. Calculate the force constant of the spring.
6. A 34-g bullet traveling at 120 m/s embeds itself in a wooden block on a smooth surface. The block then slides toward a spring and collides with it. The block compresses the spring (k = 99 N/m) a maximum of 1.2 cm. Calculate the mass of the block of wood.
7. A 0.40-kg cue ball makes a glancing blow to a stationary 0.30-kg billiard ball so that the cue ball deflects with a speed of 1.2 m/s at an angle of 30.0º from its original path. Calculate the original speed of the cue ball if the billiard ball ends up traveling at 1.5 m/s.
8. Two carts of mass 12 kg and 15 kg move toward each other with speeds of 2.3 m/s and 1.5 m/s respectively. If the collision between them is completely inelastic, calculate the velocity of the 15-kg cart after the collision.
9. Calculate the value of the gravitational field strength g, 250 km above the surface of Earth.
10. How much work is done against gravity to fire a 7.2 × 102-kg weather monitor 120 km into the air? (rE = 6.38 × 106 m, ME = 5.98 × 1024 kg)
11. Calculate the speed of a satellite in orbit 9.5 × 103 km above Jupiter. (rJ = 7.18 × 107 m, MJ = 1.90 × 1027 kg).
12. The mass of Mars is 6.4 × 1023 kg. If g = 3.7 N/kg on Mars, what is the radius of Mars?
13. A satellite is in orbit around Earth at an altitude of 3700 km. How much must its speed increase, in kilometers per hour, to escape Earth’s force of gravity?
14. The average radius of orbit for Jupiter is 7.78 × 1011 m. Using CS = 3.355 × 1018 m3/s2, calculate the number of Earth years it will take for Jupiter to complete one orbit.

PROBLEM
1. ANS:
Using conservation of energy
[pic]
The speed of the disc is 1.8 m/s.
REF: K/U OBJ: 4.5 LOC: EM1.03
2. ANS:
[pic]
The coefficient of friction is 0.11.
REF: K/U OBJ: 4.1 LOC: EM1.01
3. ANS:
[pic]
The robin must do 4.7 J of work to increase its speed.
REF: K/U OBJ: 4.2 LOC: EM1.01
4. ANS:
First use conservation of energy. Since the ball is not moving at the top, it has no Eg, and we will choose our reference point so at the bottom it has no EK.

The acceleration of the ball is 3.0 m/s2.
REF: K/U OBJ: 4.4 LOC: EM1.03
5. ANS:
Using conservation of energy,
[pic]
The spring constant is 31.9 N/m
REF: K/U OBJ: 4.5 LOC: EM1.03
6. ANS:
Momentum is conserved during the collision.
[pic]
Conserved energy for the spring compression:
[pic]
Now sub in to calculate the mass of the wooden block
[pic]
The mass of the wooden block is 12 kg.

13. ANS:
First calculate the speed satellite in orbit:
[pic]
Additional energy required to bring the object to a total energy of zero:
