b. moving with constant speed along a circle

c. moving with constant acceleration along a straight line

d. moving along a parabola

e. oscillating back and forth along a straight line

b. kinetic energy only

c. linear momentum only

d. linear momentum and velocity of the center of mass.

e. velocity of the center of mass only.

3. A ring and a solid disk of equal radius and mass are each given a push such that they have the same initial velocity on a horizontal plane. They then travel up an inclined plane. Which of the follwoign occurs,

a. The ring will move farther up the ramp than the disk.

b. The disk will move farther up the ramp than the ring.

c. The ring and the disk move up an equal distance.

a. 3 b. 2 c. 1 d.sqrt(2) e. sqrt(3)

Explanation / Answer

1.) vx=awcos(wt) vy=-awsin(wt) velocity is varying so answer is b 2.) linear momnetum 3.) a bcoz moment of inertia ring lesser than dolid 4.) 8 n p=mv f=dp/dt =2*t^e-1*e =2*t^e*e =4*2 =8 n 5.) sqrt(2) 6.) 1=2*3.14sqrt(l/g) l=0.25 7.)a=4mg-mg/5m =3g/5 8.)w=f.dx =ax^2/2+b*x^3/3 =a*l^2/2+b*l^3/3 9.) a1 aqnd a2 unchanged 10.) d
