Tutorial 1

Vectors
1) A laser beam is aimed 15.95° above the horizontal at a mirror 11,648 m away. It glances off
the mirror and continues for an additional 8570. m at 11.44° above the horizon until it hits its
target. What is the resultant displacement of the beam to the target?
2) Three forces act on a point: 3 N at 0°, 4 N at 90°, and 5 N at 217°. What is the net force?

Forces
1. A child is pulling a 30 N sled at a constant velocity with a rope that makes a 37° angle
with the horizontal. The tension in the rope is 5.0 N
1. Draw a free body diagram of the sled.
2. Determine…
1. the horizontal and vertical components of the tension
2. the kinetic friction force of the snow on the sled
3. the normal force of the snow on the sled
4. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the sled
b. A home owner pushes a 20 kg lawn mower with a constant horizontal velocity. Her arms
make a 60° angle with the ground. The effective kinetic friction on the lawn mower is 58 N
i. Draw a free body diagram of the lawn mower
ii. Determine…
1. the weight of the lawn mower
2. the magnitude of the force that the homeowner applies to the lawn mower
3. the normal force of the ground on the lawn mower

b. A 100 kg wooden crate rests on a wooden ramp with an adjustable angle of inclination.
a. Draw a free body diagram of the crate.
b. If the angle of the ramp is set to 10°, determine…
i. the component of the crate's weight that is perpendicular to the ramp
ii. the component of the crate's weight that is parallel to the ramp
iii. the normal force between the crate and the ramp
iv. the static friction force between the crate and the ramp
b. At what angle will the crate just begin to slip?
Motion
A basketball dropped from rest 1.00 m above the floor rebounds to a height of 0.67 m. Assuming
the ball is not moving horizontally, calculate its velocity…
a. just before it hit the floor on the way down and
b. just after it left the floor on the way up.
If the ball is in contact with the floor for 0.10 s determine its acceleration…
c. on the way down,
c. while it is contact with the floor, and
c. on the way up.
d.
A diver jumps from a 3.0 m board with an initial upward velocity of 5.5 m/s. Determine…
a. the time the diver was in the air
b. the maximum height to which she ascended
c. her velocity on impact with the water

Work energy and power


1)  A box having 2 kg mass, under the
effect of forces F1, F2 and F3, takes
distance 5m. Which ones of the forces
do work?
 

2) A hoist operated by an electric motor ha of 500 kg. It raises a load of 300 kg vertically at
a steady speed of 0.2
m/s. Frictional resistance can be taken to be constant at 1200 N.
What is the power required?
3) A ball is dropped from a height of 10 m. What is its velocity when it hits the ground?
4) A ball is thrown vertically with a velocity of 25 m/s. How high does it go? What is its
velocity when it reaches a height of 25 m
