Phys 101 Exam 2

1) The document is a physics exam with 7 multi-part problems involving forces, energy, momentum, and collisions. 2) The first problem involves calculating the net force and acceleration on a cart being pulled by two forces at angles. 3) The second problem involves calculating forces and acceleration on a box being pulled with a known force that is experiencing kinetic friction. 4) The third problem involves calculating the acceleration of two hanging masses connected by a string, with one on an incline experiencing kinetic friction.

1. Two forces act on a 25 kg cart. One force has a magnitude of 30 N and is directed east. The
other force has a magnitude of 25 N and is directed at an angle of 45° north of east.
(Draw free-body diagram here)

a. What is the net force on the cart? (Include direction.)

b. What is the acceleration of the cart?


2. A 20 kg box sitting on a horizontal surface is pulled by a horizontal force of 110 N. The
coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.2.
(Draw free-body diagram here)

a. What is the normal force acting on the box?

b. What is the force of kinetic friction acting on the box?

c. What is the acceleration of the box?


3. Two masses are attached by a string. Mass M hangs freely while mass m is on an incline of
30°.

If M = 7 kg and m = 5 kg, what is the acceleration of the box if the coefficient of kinetic friction
of the incline is 0.2?
4. A driver initially at rest accelerates her 1500 kg car to a final velocity of 30 m/s.
a. What is the kinetic energy of the car at her final velocity?

b. The force acting on the car is 6000 N. How far does the car go in this time?
5. A 1500 kg roller coaster car starts from rest at a point 45 m above the bottom of a dip. It
then goes down to the bottom and climbs another hill with a height of 30 m.

a. What is the potential energy at the top of the 45 m hill?

b. What is the velocity of the roller coaster at the bottom of the dip?

c. What is the velocity of the roller coaster at the top of the 30 m hill?
6. A 0.05 kg tennis ball initially traveling at 15 m/s is struck by a racket causing it to take off
with a velocity of -20 m/s in the opposite direction.
a. What is the change in momentum of the ball?

b. The ball is in contact with the racket for 0.03 seconds. What amount of force is applied to
the ball?
7. A 0.05 kg golf ball moving at 40 m/s collides with a 0.75 kg wooden block at rest. The golf
ball bounces off the block and travels in the opposite direction at -10 m/s.

a. What is the momentum of the golf ball before it collides with the block?

b. What is the velocity of the block right after the collision?
