1. A small hoop of radius r = 0.1 m and mass m = 0.5 kg is released from rest at the top of a slope of height h = 0.4 m. The moment of inertia of a loop of mass m and radius r is mr^2. (Neglect air resistance). Assume g = 10 m/s^2.
(a) Find its speed when it reaches the bottom of the slope.
(b) Find its angular velocity when it reaches the bottom of the slope.
2. A mass m is attached to a horizontal spring of spring constant k and released at the turning point x = D. Neglect friction, air resistance and assume the motion is along the x-axis. Assume ω = √(k/m)
(a) What is its speed at x = D/√2?
(b) Find x where the mass has the maximum acceleration? What is the acceleration?
(c) Find x where the mass has the maximum speed? What is the speed?
3. A uniform 5-m ladder weighs 100 N and leans against a frictionless vertical wall. The horizontal floor is rough enough that the foot of the ladder does not slide on the floor. Find
(a) Fn
(b) Ff
(c) fs.
4. Given c_water = 4186 J/kg·°C, c_Al = 900 J/kg·°C, c_ice = 2.00 × 10^3 J/kg·°C, latent heat of fusion for water is Lf = 33.5 × 10^4 J/kg.
(a) Pour 50 g of water at 60 °C into a 1.0 kg aluminum beaker whose temperature is 25 °C. What is the final temperature of the water and beaker at equilibrium.
(b) Instead of pouring 50 g of water into the aluminum beaker, now suppose we drop a piece of ice (50 g) at -5 °C into the aluminum beaker whose temperature is 25 °C. What is the final temperature of the water and beaker at equilibrium.
