    1. Consider the two vectors A = 3i -2j and B = -i -4j. Calculate:


    (a) |A + B|
    (b) |2A - B|
    (c) Unit vector of A and B

    2. Three vectors are oriented as shown below, where |A| = 20 units,


    |B| = 40 units, and |C| = 30 units. Find (a) the x and y
    components of the resultant vector and (b) the magnitude and
    direction of the resultant vector.

    3. Figure below represents the total acceleration of a particle


    moving clockwise in a circle of radius 2.50 m at a certain
    instant of time. At this instant, find (a) the radial
    acceleration, (b) the speed of the particle, and (c) its
    tangential acceleration.

    4. A block of mass 3 kg is pushed up against a wall by a force P that makes a 50° angle with
    the horizontal as shown in Figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the
    block and the wall is 0.250. Determine the possible values for the magnitude of P that
    allow the block to remain stationary.

    5. A water hose is used to fill a large cylindrical storage tank of diameter D and height 2D.
    The hose shoots the water at 45° above the horizontal from the same level as the base of
    the tank and is a distance 6D away (see Fig. below). For what range of launch speeds
    (Vo) will the water enter the tank? Ignore air resistance, and express your answer in terms
    of D and g.
    6. Mass m1 and m2 are located on inclined planes of angles 30o and 60o respectively. They
    are connected by an inextensible string of negligible mass which passes over a smooth
    peg at A. The coefficient of friction between the masses and the incline is . (See the fig.)
    a) Find the acceleration for any angle Ɵ1 and Ɵ2.
    b) Using the angles value, determine the direction of motion if  =0 and m1= m2.
    Sin30o=cos60o=0.50
    Cos30o=sin60o=0.866

    m1 m2

    7. A bead slides without friction around a loop (see fig).


    The bead is released from a height h=3.5R.
    a) What is its speed at point A?
    b) How large is the normal force on it if its mass is 5.0gm?

    8. When a 4kg object is hung vertically on a certain light spring that obeys Hooke’s law, the
    spring stretches 2.50 cm. If the 4kg object is removed, (a) how far will the spring stretch
    if a 1.50-kg block is hung on it and (b) how much work must an external agent do to
    stretch the same spring 4.00 cm from its unstretched position?

    9. Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 2.00 kg object is at +3 m, a 3kg
    object is at +2.50 m, a 2.50-kg object is at the origin, and a 4kg object is at -0.5 m. Where
    is the center of mass of these objects?

    10. A billiard ball moving at 5 m/s strikes a stationary ball of the same mass. After the
    collision, the first ball moves, at 4.33 m/s, at an angle of 30° with respect to the original
    line of motion. Assuming an elastic collision (and ignoring friction and rotational
    motion), find the struck ball’s velocity after the collision.

    11. The center-to-center distance between Earth and Moon is 384 400 km. The Moon
    completes an orbit in 27.3 days. (a) Determine the Moon’s orbital speed. (b) If gravity
    were switched off, the Moon would move along a straight line tangent to its orbit, as
    described by Newton’s first law. In its actual orbit in 1.00 s, how far does the Moon fall
    below the tangent line and toward the Earth?
