Physics 107 / Exam 2 [Form-A] Summer I 2007 Page 2“First Problem” (30,000 points) Multiple-Guess-Pick-The-Best-Answer-Fill-In-The-Bubbles1.) (a) If you want the fastest acceleration in a car, you must use _______ friction.A = Static B = Kinetic C = Potential D = Radial InwardE =Tangent F = Radial Outward(b) For an object undergoing Uniform Circular Motion, the velocity vector is _______ to the circular path.A = Static B = Kinetic C = Potential D = Radial InwardE =Tangent F = Radial Outward(c) A rock dropped from the top of a building will gain in _______ and … A = Static B = Kinetic C = Potential D = Radial InwardE =Tangent F = Radial Outward(d) … lose in _________ Energy.A = Static B = Kinetic C = Potential D = Radial InwardE =Tangent F = Radial Outward(e) _________ Energy must change if a net force does work on a body.A = Static B = Kinetic C = Potential D = Radial InwardE =Tangent F = Radial Outward(f) The old trick of starting a fire by rubbing two sticks together uses ___________ friction to generate heat.A = Static B = Kinetic C = Potential D = Radial InwardE =Tangent F = Radial OutwardIn parts (g)-(h), select which of Newton’s 3 laws or the 2 Conservation laws that best describes the situation.(g) A car accelerating up to 55 mph.A = Newton’s 1stB = Newton’s 2ndC = Newton’s 3rdD = Momentum E =Energy F = None of these(h) The forces acting on your head as it lays on your pillow while you sleep.A = Newton’s 1stB = Newton’s 2ndC = Newton’s 3rdD = Momentum E =Energy F = None of theseIn parts (i)-(j), select the best answer for the situation described.(i) Two 1.00 kg toys smash head on into each other totally inelastically. If one toy is moving at 12.0 m/s and theother is moving at –11.0 m/s, then the wreck moves at _______________. m1v1 - m2v2 = (m1 + m2) V+12.0kg·m/s - 11.0kg·m/s = +1.00kg·m/s ; +1.00kg·m/s ÷ 2.00kg = +0.500m/sA = –0.500 m/s B = –1.00 m/s C = 0 m/sD = +0.500 m/s E = +1.00 m/s F = None of these(j) Two 1.00 kg toys bounce off each other totally elastically. If one toy was moving at 1.00 m/s and the otherwas moving at –1.00 m/s, then the simple solution for the first toy is that afterward it moves at ___________.Have to conserve both momentum and K.E., so since identical, they just bounce the other way.Recall the Executive Time Waster Toy.A = –0.500 m/s B = –1.00 m/s C = 0 m/sD = +0.500 m/s E = +1.00 m/s F = None of thesed " # $ % &!

Right now, off the coast of Spain, very expensive sailboats are competing in aregatta to determine who will race against the Swiss boat Alinghi for theAmerica’s Cup in a few weeks. (a) The Italian boat ITA-94 Luna Rossa, m =22,400 kg, starts off from the line at rest and in the first few moments, acceleratesat ax = 4.00 m/s².
