    This document contains 8 physics problems involving concepts like momentum, energy, friction, springs, and simple harmonic motion. The problems cover calculating velocities after collisions, the speed of an object sliding down a slope and jumping off a cliff, the speed of a bungee jumper at different heights, measuring static friction, forces causing blocks on springs to slip, the time for springs with masses to meet, and properties of a simple pendulum like its frequency, energy, and lowest point speed.

    PHY1A1E/E1A1 tutorial 8

    1. For the situation in the figure below, use momentum conservation to determine the
    magnitude and direction of the final velocity of ball 1 after the collision.

    2. Starting with an initial speed of 5.00 m/s at a height of 0.300 m, a 1.50-kg ball swings
    downward and strikes a 4.60-kg ball that is at rest, as the drawing shows. Ignore air
    resistance.

    (a) Using the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, calculate the speed of the
    1.50-kg ball just before impact.
    (b) Assuming that the collision is elastic, calculate the velocities (magnitude and direction)
    of both balls just after the collision.
    (c) How high does each ball swing after the collision, ignoring air resistance?
    3. An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain slope that makes an angle of
    25.0º with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow
    is 0.200. She coasts down a distance of 10.4 m before coming to the edge of a cliff. Without
    slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance
    is 3.50 m below the edge. Calculate the velocity of the skier at the time of jumping off from
    the cliff.

    4. A 68.0-kg bungee jumper is standing on a tall platform (h0 = 46.0 m), as indicated in the
    figure below. The bungee cord has an unstrained length of L0 = 9.00 m and, when stretched,
    behaves like an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 66.0 N/m. The jumper falls from
    rest, and it is assumed that the only forces acting on him are his weight and, for the latter
    part of the descent, the elastic force of the bungee cord. Calculate his speed (it is not zero)
    when he is at the following heights above the water (see the drawing):
    (a) hA = 37.0 m and
    (b) hB = 15.0 m?
    5. To measure the static friction coefficient between a 1.6-kg block and a vertical wall, the
    setup shown in the drawing is used. A spring (spring constant k = 510 N/m) is attached to
    the block. Someone pushes on the end of the spring in a direction perpendicular to the wall
    until the block does not slip downward. The spring is compressed by 0.039 m. Calculate
    the coefficient of static friction.

    6. A 30.0-kg block is resting on a flat horizontal table. On top of this block is resting a 15.0-
    kg block, to which a horizontal spring is attached, as the drawing illustrates. The spring
    constant of the spring is 325 N/m. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the lower
    block and the table is 0.600, and the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is
    0.900. A horizontal force is applied to the lower block as shown. This force is increasing
    in such a way as to keep the blocks moving at a constant speed. At the point where the
    upper block begins to slip on the lower block, calculate:

    (a) the amount by which the spring is compressed and,

    (b) the magnitude of the force


    7. The drawing shows a top view of a frictionless horizontal surface, where there are two
    springs with particles of mass m1 and m2 attached to them. Each spring has a spring constant
    of 120 N/m. The particles are pulled to the right and then released from the positions shown
    in the drawing. How much time passes before the particles are side by side for the first time
    at x = 0 m if

    (a) m1 = m2 = 3.0 kg and


    (b) m1 = 3.0 kg and m2 = 27 kg?

    8. The length of a simple pendulum is 0.79 m and the mass of the particle (the “bob”) at the
    end of the cable is 0.24 kg. The pendulum is pulled away from its equilibrium position by
    an angle of 8.50° and released from rest. Assume that friction can be neglected and that the
    resulting oscillatory motion is simple harmonic motion.

    (a) Calculate the angular frequency of the motion

    (b) Using the position of the bob at its lowest point as the reference level, determine the
    total mechanical energy of the pendulum as it swings back and forth.

    (c) What is the bob’s speed as it passes through the lowest point of the swing?
