Physics 12: Forces and Motion Test Review

Review each of the topics below, all of which have detailed explanations in the notes on
Angel. Remember that the test could include problems similar to the sample problems
below, but they may not include all types of questions on the test (the rest could come
from sample problems/independent practice in the notes).

Potential Topics

1. Know how to resolve a vector into its vertical and horizontal components.
2. Calculate the net force (including magnitude and direction) that is acting on a
particular object.
3. Determine the forces that are acting on a pulley system that has either one or two
suspended components.
4. Calculate an object’s motion along an incline, while accounting for the force of
friction and other variables.
5. Solve projectile problems that have an initial velocity that is completely
horizontal.
6. Evaluate projectiles that have a symmetrical or asymmetrical trajectory.
7. Solve problems involving uniform circular motion.
8. Know how to calculate tangential velocity and angular displacement.
9. Evaluate the rotational motion of an object or a system.
10. Understand all terms that were discussed in the Forces and Motion unit.

Key Terms

1.1: Vector, displacement, net force


1.2: Tension, counterweight
1.5: Projectile, trajectory, range
1.6: Asymmetrical projectile
1.7: Symmetrical trajectory
1.9: Uniform circular motion, centripetal acceleration, centripetal force
1.10: Rotational motion, period, frequency

Practice Problems

1. A ball is hit at a velocity of 14.4 m/s, and an angle of 28.1°. Determine the
horizontal and vertical components to this motion. (H = 12.7 m/s, V =6.78 m/s)

2. A puppet is suspended by three strings. The first exerts a force of 294 N, in a


direction of 42.1°. Another string pulls with a force of 199 N at 150° and the final
string exerts a force of 222 N [W 49.3° N]. Calculate the net force that is acting on
the puppet. (net force = 475 N [W 78.0° N])
3. You are pushing horizontally on a 3.0 kg block of wood, pressing it against a wall.
If the coefficient of static friction between the block and the wall is 0.60, how much
force must you exert on the block to prevent it from sliding down? (49 N)

4. A Fletcher’s trolley apparatus consists of a 4.0 kg cart and a 2.0 kg mass attached
by a string that runs over a pulley. Find the acceleration of the trolley and the
tension in the string when the suspended mass is released. (a = 3.3 m/s2, FT = 13 N)

5. At a ballpark, a batter hits a baseball at an angle of 37.0° to the horizontal with an


initial velocity of 58.0 m/s. If the outfield fence is 3.15 m high and 323 m away, will
the hit be a home run? (Yes, it clears the wall by 1.55 m)

6. An archer shoots a 4.0 g arrow into the air, giving it a velocity of 40.0 m/s at an
elevation angle of 65°. It hits the ground at the same height from which it is show.
Find:

(a) its time of flight (7.4 s)


(b) its maximum height (67 m)
(c) its range (1.2 x 102 m)
(d) its horizontal and vertical distance from the starting point at 2.0 s after it leaves
the bow (x = 34m, y = 53 m)
(e) the horizontal and vertical components of its velocity at 6.0 s after it leaves the
bow (VX = 17 m/s, VY = -23 m/s)

7. You rotate a 4.50 x 102 g ball on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius
2.5 m. The ball completes eight rotations in 2.0 s. What is the centripetal force of the
string on the ball? (7.1 x 102 N)

8. A golfer hits the golf ball, giving it an initial velocity of 19.6 m/s at an angle of
62.0° with the horizontal. The green where the ball lands is 6.10 m higher than the
tee. Find each of the following.

(a) the time interval during which the golf ball was in the air (3.13 s)
(b) the horizontal distance that it travelled (28.8 m)
(c) the velocity of the ball just before it hit the ground (neglect air friction) (16.3
m/s [55.6° below horizontal]

9. Consider an icy curved road, banked 6.2° to the horizontal, with a radius of
curvature of 75 m. At what speed must a 1200 kg car travel to stay on the road?
(8.9 m/s)

10. You want to design a curve, with a radius of curvature of 35.0 m, so that a car can
turn at a velocity of 15 m/s on it without depending on friction. At what angle must
the road be banked? (33°)
11. Two blocks are suspended from a frictionless pulley. If one block has a mass of
12.4 kg and the other block has a mass of 17.9 kg, determine:

a) the acceleration of the entire system (1.78 m/s2 [right])

b) the tension in the rope. (144 N)

12. Determine how long it would take the mass pictured below to travel a distance
of 13 meters, if there exists a coefficient of friction between the mass and the surface
on which it sits of 0.025. (11 seconds)

13. Determine the angle of projection that will result in a projectile’s range being equal
to its maximum height. (76°)
