Universal Gravitation
Question 2
Question
Which of the following statements about the coefficient of friction is correct?
Answer
It has no units
It depends on mass
It depends on the surfaces in contact only
It is a higher value when objects are not in motion
Question 3
Question
What is the centripetal force acting on a 1.0 kg ball being spun in a circle with radius of 0.25 meters at a speed of 3.0 m/s?
F = [blank_start]32[blank_end] N
Answer
32
Question 4
Question
Which direction will the ball travel if the string breaks at this point?
The value is zero for the y component of the T1 Force
The force of gravity is equal to the sum of the y components of T1 and T2
The force of gravity is equal to the y component of T2
T2 > T1
Question 7
Question
A wooden pallet carrying a load of 600.0 kg rests on a wooden floor and the mu value is 0.280 between the two items. A forklift driver decides to push it without lifting it. What force must be applied to just get the pallet moving?
F = [blank_start]1650[blank_end] N
Answer
1650
Question 8
Question
A spring with a natural height of 57 mm is compressed by a 300 g mass to a new height of 51 mm. What is the spring constant for this spring?
The first blank is for the numerical value. The second blank is the units. Put a space between EACH character for the units!
k = [blank_start]750[blank_end] [blank_start]N / m[blank_end]
Answer
750
N / m
Question 9
Question
What values should be plotted on the x and y axes of a Cartesian graph in order to provide a line whose slope will give you the spring constant?
Answer
x = displacement
y = force
x = force
y = gravity
x = distance
y = displacement
x = distance
y = time
Question 10
Question
A block is at rest on a slope. What direction does friction act?
Answer
There is no friction is the block is not moving
Friction is acting downwards into the slope
Friction is acting upwards, parallel to the slope
Friction is acting downwards, parallel to the slope
