QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS

PART 1

QUESTION 01

An object with a mass of 2.0 kg is at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. When the object is pulled with a constant horizontal force of magnitude 5.0 N.

(a)   What is the speed of the object after 3.0 s?

(b)   What is the speed of the object after it has moved a distance of 5.0 m?

 


QUESTION 02

A block of mass m [kg] is at rest on a horizontal surface with friction. When the block is pulled at an angle θ above the horizontal with a force F [N], it moves with a constant acceleration in a horizontal direction.

What is the magnitude of the kinetic friction force acting on the block? Where μ' is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface, and g [m/s2] is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration.

(a)   μ′ mg   [N]

(b)   μ′ (mg − F sin⁡ θ)   [N]

(c)   μ′ (mg + F sin⁡ θ)   [N]

(d)   μ′ mg sin⁡ θ   [N]
