/5 1. A toboggan and rider have a combined mass of 75.0kg. The toboggan is sliding down a hill that
has an angle of elevation of 37.0° and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.270.
a. Calculate the acceleration of the toboggan down the hill.
b. Assuming the toboggan starts from rest, how fast will it be going if it slides 11.0m down
the hill?

/4 2. A block is being pushed across a flat horizontal Fapp = 150N


surface by an applied force as shown to the right. 25
20 kg
The coefficient of static friction with the ground is
0.50 and the coefficient of kinetic friction with the
ground is 0.35. Will the block move (show your work) and if it does what is the acceleration of
the block (assume 2 significant digits in all numbers)?

/4 3. An Atwood machine as shown in the diagram to the right is released


and allowed to move. What is the acceleration of the system and the
tension in the rope?
6.0 kg
9.0 kg
/5 4. To train to be fighter pilots, men and women sit in a centrifuge and are spun in a horizontal
circle to simulate ‘g’ forces. The requirement is to experience 6.0 g’s for a minimum of 15
seconds while spinning. The arms of the centrifuge are 9.0m long.
a. At what velocity must the centrifuge spin in order to simulate 6.0 g’s?
b. What net force would an 85kg pilot feel in this centrifuge?

/6 5. One of Jupiter’s moons called Europa, is observed to have a radius of orbit around Jupiter of
6.71x108m. Europa takes 3.546 earth days to make one orbit around Jupiter.
a. Calculate the mass of Jupiter (show your calculations).
b. Predict the time it would take another one of its moons, Thebe, to make one orbit
around Jupiter if the radius of its orbit is 2.22x108m.

6. A roller coaster is travelling at a constant speed of


/5
90km/hr and enters a vertical loop-de-loop as shown
to the right. What is the minimum radius of curvature
of the loop to ensure the ‘g’ forces remain below 3.5
r
in total? (assume 2 significant figures in your answer).

/3 7. A 2500kg car is driving around a circular corner that has a radius of 33m. The coefficients of
friction are µs=0.80 and µk=0.60. What is the maximum speed the car can be travelling to drive
around this corner without sliding?

/4 8. The following formula can be used to calculate the maximum speed on a banked corner:
𝑟𝑔(𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 + 𝜇𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃)
𝑉𝑚𝑎𝑥 = √
(𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 − 𝜇𝑠 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃)

a. Calculate the maximum speed of a car on a banked corner, given the following
parameters (assume 2 significant figures in your answer).
m=2,500kg, r = 35m, Ɵ=24°, µk=0.70, µs=0.90,
a. If you wanted to maintain the same speed as in part a, but now the track was icy and
there was zero friction (i.e. µ=0), what is the minimum radius the turn could have
(assuming the same angle on the banked corner).
