PHY 1023 Homework - Chapter 4

Due: Mon. - Sep. 23

1. (3 pts.) A train engine is carrying 20 rail cars behind it. Each car is loaded up to a total
mass of m = 100 metric tons. If the train is moving at a constant speed and the coefficient of
friction for each rail car is µ = 0.01, what is the magnitude of the force F that the train engine
must be outputting to haul the rail cars? ImT =

2. (6 pts.) A person pushes a crate across the floor until it reaches a velocity of ~v = 5.0 m/s x̂.
The coefficient of friction between the crate and the floor is µ = 0.2. If the person suddenly lets
go of the crate, how far does it slide across the floor before it is stopped by friction?

3. (6 pts.) A clothes line is strung between two posts 10.0 m apart. Someone hangs a heavy
object of mass m = 5 kg from the center of the line causing it to sag in the middle. If the line
makes an angle of ✓ = 10 with the horizontal, what is the magnitude of the tension force FT in
the clothes line?

4. (5 pts.) A crate is of mass m is pulled across the floor by an attached rope that makes an
angle of ✓ with the floor. If the coefficient of friction is µ, find and expression for the magnitude
of the force F that must be applied to the rope so that the crate accelerates at ax .

PHY 1023 Homework - Chapter 5

Due: Wed. - Oct. 2

1. (5 pts.) An astronaut on an alien planet measures the gravitational acceleration to be


gP = 9.10 m/s2 . The average density of the alien planet is also determined to be approximately
the same as the Earth’s. If the radius of the Earth is RE = 6378 km, then what is the radius of
the alien planet RP ?

2. (6 pts.) The international space station (ISS) orbits the Earth once approximately every
T = 93 min. If the radius of the Earth is RE = 6378 km, then how high above the earth’s surface
h is the ISS?

3. (5 pts.) You weigh slightly less at the equator than at the geographic North or South pole.
This is because of the Earth’s rotation. At the equator, some of the force of gravity contributes
to the centripetal force required to make you move in a circle around the Earth’s axis, so your
apparent weight decreases. If the radius of the Earth is RE = 6378 km, then what is the ratio
of your apparent weight at the equator versus at the pole, We /Wp ?

4. (4 pts.) We know that the Moon orbits the Earth because of the Earth’s gravitational pull
on the Moon. However, Newton’s third law says that there should be an equal and opposite
force from the Moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth. This means that both the Moon and the
Earth orbit a mutual center of mass called the Barycenter.

The orbital period around the Barycenter for both objects is the same. Apply Newton’s third
law to the centripetal force to find an expression for the distance from the Barycenter to the
center of the Earth R, in terms the mass of the Earth ME , the mass of the Moon Mm , and the
distance between the Barycenter and the Moon r.

PHY 1023 Homework - Chapter 6

Due: Wed. - Oct. 9

1. (5 pts.) A gravity battery is a recent idea for storing energy from renewable resources for
later use when those resources are unavailable (such as from solar panels at night). The battery
is made of a winch with a cable attached to a large mass m = 35000 kg. At night the mass is
slowly lowered to release its gravitational potential energy. At what speed v should the mass be
lowered to provide P = 0.5 MW of power?

-35000kg
2. (5 pts.) A pinball machine uses a spring to launch the pinball of mass m = 250 g at a speed
v = 5.0 m/s. If the compressed length of the spring is x = 10.0 cm, then what is the spring
constant k of the spring? Ax 250

3. (5 pts.) You are pushing a heavy crate of mass m = 150 kg up a ramp into the back of a
truck. Assume the crate is on rollers so you can ignore friction. If the truck bed is h = 0.75 m
high, how long L does the ramp need to be so that it only takes a force of F = 250 N to push
the crate up the ramp?

t
4. (5 pts.) A roller coaster carries riders to the top of the first peak at a height h1 = 45.0 m
before letting them roll down the peak from rest. If the riders then go up a second peak of
height h2 = 25.0 m, then what is the speed v of the roller coaster at the top of the second peak?

·
Assume that frictional forces are negligible.
