Paper For Above instruction

The problems posed in this exam cover fundamental topics in physics, including mechanics, energy, momentum, rotational motion, and gravitational physics. This comprehensive set aims to evaluate understanding of core principles through real-world applications and detailed problem-solving processes.

Problem 1: Towing on a Flat Surface

A person with a mass of 50.0 kg is pulled across a horizontal surface via a tow rope inclined at 20.0°, with tension of 650 N. The initial speed is 2.00 m/s over a 50.0 m distance. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.0800, and gravity is 9.80 m/s². The problem involves sketching free-body diagrams, calculating initial kinetic energy, work done by tension, normal force, frictional force, work done by friction, net work, final kinetic energy, and final speed.

Problem 2: Ski Lift Energy and Work

A ski lift chair with passengers (mass 225 kg) moves along a 700 m inclined path at 15° angle and constant speed of 5.00 m/s. The tasks include calculating total weight, work done by gravity, height difference, potential energy change, and the power needed to carry the load to the top.

Problem 3: Mechanical Energy and Friction on a Roll

At a certain position, you are 12.0 m above position 1, moving at 13.0 m/s with a mass of 50.0 kg. Calculations involve total mechanical energy, energy conservation, height above zero, work done against friction, and the distance traveled until rest, considering kinetic friction coefficient 0.15.

Problem 4: Collisions and Momentum

Goofy (55 kg) moving west at 3.50 m/s collides with a girl (45 kg) moving east at 2.50 m/s. After collision, they stick together. Find total momentum before and after, final velocity, and lost kinetic energy.

Problem 5: Hockey Puck Impact

A puck (150 g) moving at 25.0 m/s left experiences a force of 1900 N over 5 ms in the positive direction. Calculate initial momentum, impulse, momentum change, final momentum, and final velocity.

Problem 6: Rotational Dynamics of a Puck

A solid disk puck (mass 162 g, radius 3.81 cm) spins at 70.0 rpm. Determine moment of inertia, torque to stop it in 0.100 s, and frictional force involved.

Problem 7: Structural Equilibrium

A banner-hanging system has various weights and a pole, hinged at the wall with a cable at 30° angle. Draw free-body diagram, find tension in cable, and horizontal and vertical forces at the wall.

Problem 8: Skater Conservation of Angular Momentum

A skater starts spinning at 1.2 rad/s with a moment of inertia 2.70 kg·m². Pulling arms in reduces the moment of inertia to 1.8 kg·m², and the change in angular velocity and linear speed of nose tip are to be computed.

Problem 9: Circular Motion on a Hill

Traveling with 12.0 m/s at a 20.0 m radius turn. Find angular speed, centripetal force, and time to complete a quarter of the turn.

Problem 10: Hypothetical High Ski Jump

Skier starts at rest 620,000 m above Earth's surface. Calculate potential energy, kinetic energy upon reaching Earth, and final speed. Bonus: minimum height for orbital motion just above the Earth's surface.

Problem 11: Supporting Force on a Swing Seat

A chair with two children, each with their positions and weights, and the chair's weight, are analyzed via free-body diagrams to find forces exerted by posts. The system involves static equilibrium and torque calculations.
