TUTORIAL TOPIC 2 – KINEMATICS

1. If you are driving 110 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 2.0 s, how
far do you travel during this inattentive period?
2. An airplane travels 2100 km at a speed of 800 km/h, and then encounters a tailwind that
boosts its speed to 1000 km/h for the next 1800 km. What was the total time for the
trip? What was the average speed of the plane for this trip?
3. A world-class sprinter can burst out of blocks to essentially top speed (of about 11.5
m/s) in the first 15.0 m of the race. What is the average acceleration of this sprinter and
how long does it take her to reach that speed?
4. A car slows down from a speed of 25.0 m/s to rest in 5.00 s. How far did it travel in
that time?
5. Calculate
(a) how long it took King Kong to fall straight down from the top of the Empire
State Building (380 m) high, and
(b) his velocity just before “landing”?
6. A ballplayer catches a ball 3.3 s after throwing it vertically upward. With what speed
did he throw it, and what height is it reach?
7. Draw graphs of
(a) the speed
(b) the distance fallen,
as a function of time, for an object falling under the influence of gravity from
t = 0 to t = 5.00 s. Ignore air resistance and assume vo = 0.
8. A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 20.0 m/s.
(a) How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 12.0 m?
(b) How long is required to reach this height?
(c) Why are there two answers to (b)?
9. An object is dropped from a bridge. A second object is thrown downwards 1.00 s later.
They both reach the water 20.0 m below at the same instant.
(a) How long did it take for the first object to reach the water?
(b) How long did it take for the second object to reach the water?
(c) What was the initial speed of the second object?

TUTORIAL TOPIC 3 – FORCES AND TORQUES
1. A net force of 255 N accelerates a bike and a rider at 2.20 m/s2. What is the mass of the
bike and rider?
2. How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 1050 kg car
horizontally at 1.2 m/s2? Ignore friction.
3. What average force is required to stop an 1100 kg car in 8.0 s if it is traveling at
90 km/h?
4. What is the weight of 66 kg astronaut
(a) on Earth
(b) on the moon (g = 1.7 m/s2)
(c) on Mars (g = 3.7 m/s2)
(d) in outer space traveling with constant velocity?
5. A 20.0 kg box rests on a table.
(a) What is the weight of the box and the normal force acting on it?
(b) A 10.0 kg box is placed on top of the 20.0 kg box. Determine the normal force
that the table exerts on the 20.0 kg box and the normal force that the 20.0 kg
box exerts on the 10.0 kg box.
6. A 0.140 kg baseball traveling 45.0 m/s strikes the catcher’s mitt, which, in bringing the
ball to rest, recoils backward 11.0 cm. What was the average force applied by the ball
on the glove?
7. Three blocks on a frictionless horizontal surface are in contact with each other. A force
F is applied to block 1 (mass m1).
(a) Draw a free body diagram for each block.
Determine
(b) the acceleration of the system (in terms of m1, m2, m3)
(c) the net force on each block
(d) the contact force that each block exerts on its neighbour.
(e) If m1 = m2 = m3 = 12.0 kg and F = 96.0 N, give numerical answers to (b), (c)
and (d).

8. Calculate the acceleration of each box and the tension at each of the cord, using the free
body diagram shown below.

9. How much tension must a rope withstand if it is used to accelerate a 1200 kg car
vertically upward at 0.80 m/s2? Ignore friction.
Answers:
1. m = 116 kg.

2. FT = 1.26  103 N

3. F = – 3.4  103 N.

4. (a) FG = 6.5  102 N. (b) FG = 1.1 102 N.

(c) FG = 2.4  102 N. (d) FG = 0.

5. (a) FG = 196 N. FN = m2g = 196 N.

(b) FN2 = 294 N. FN1 = 98.0 N.

6. F = 1.29  103 N.
7. (a) refer to diagram shown.

(b) a = F/(m1 + m2 + m3).

(c) Fnet1 = m1a = m1F/(m1 + m2 + m3); Fnet2 = m2a = m2F/(m1 + m2 + m3);
Fnet3 = m3a = m3F/(m1 + m2 + m3).

(d) F12 = F(m2 + m3)/(m1 + m2 + m3). This is also F21 (Newton’s third law).

Fnet2 = F21 – F23 = m2a, which gives

F23 = Fm3/(m1 + m2 + m3).

This is also F32 (Newton’s third law).

(e) a = 2.67 m/s2.


Fnet1 = 32 N. Fnet2 == 32 N. Fnet3 = 32 N.

F21 = F12 = 64 N. F32 = F23 = 32 N.

8. FT1 = 22.6 N. FT2 = 20.9 N. a = 1.7 m/s2.

9. FT = 1.3  104 N.
