A bullet with a mass of 4.5 g is moving with a speed of 300 m/s (with respect to the ground) when it collides with a rod with a mass of 3 kg and a length of L = 0.25 m. The rod is initially at rest, in a vertical position, and pivots about an axis going through its center of mass which is located exactly halfway along the rod. The bullet imbeds itself in the rod at a distance L/4 from the pivot point. As a result, the bullet-rod system starts rotating together. What is the magnitude of the angular velocity (in rad/s) of the rotation (with respect to the ground) immediately after the collision? You may treat the bullet as a point particle.

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 790 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of 28 degrees with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is k = 0.14. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of a = 0.18 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.

If angle "a" is 25°, angle "b" is: a) equal to angle c b) less than angle c c) greater than angle c

The drag force, fd, imposed by the surrounding air on a vehicle moving with velocity v is given by fd = cdaρv 2/2 where cd is a constant called the drag coefficient, a is the projected frontal area of the vehicle, and ρ is the air density. an automobile is moving at v = 80 kilometers per hour with cd = 0.28, a = 2.3 m2, and ρ = 1.2 kg/m3.
