Physics Exam: Kinematics & Forces

This document contains a midterm exam for a General Physics I course. The exam contains 4 multi-part physics problems related to vectors, projectile motion, circular motion, and work/energy on an inclined plane. It provides the questions, diagrams, and some relevant physical constants. The goal is to test students' understanding of fundamental physics concepts covered in the course.

UNIVERSITY OF GAZIANTEP 10/11/2005

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING PHYSICS TIME 100 min.


EP 105 General Physics I
First Midterm Exam Questions

[1]. Two vectors are given by a = 4i+2j and b = –6i+3j. Find


(a) a+b using geometrical and analytical methods
(b) a.b
(c) axb
(d) the angle between a and b

[2]. A ball is thrown from the ground into air. At


height of h=5.0 m, the velocity is observed to be
v=30 m/s and the angle between velocity of the ball
and the horizontal axis is θ = 30o, as shown in
figure.

(a) To what maximum height will the ball rise.


(b) What will be total horizontal distance travelled
by the ball.

[3]. A car having a mass of 1000 kg is


driven around a circular path of radius 20 m,
as shown in the figure. The path is sharply
banked at an angle of 700 from the
horizontal line. It is driven around at the slowest speed possible such that it does not slide
down. The frictional coefficient between the tires of the car and the path is assumed to be 0.95.
At what speed does the car have to be driven?

[4]. A 10 kg block is projected up a 30o ramp,


with an initial speed of 5 m/s at the bottom of the
ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between v
block and inclined plane is 0.3. Determine the
work done on the block as it slides on the plane
for a distance of 1.67 m by,
(a) the net force,
(b) the weight of the block,
(c) the normal force,
(d) the frictional force,
(e) what are the kinetic energies of the block when it is at the lowest and highest points on the
ramp?

Useful constants:
g = 9.8 m/s2, sin30=0.5, cos30=0.86, sin70=0.94, cos70=0.34
