Consider the father pushing a playground merry-go-round. He exerts a force of 250 N at the edge of the 50.0-kg merry-go-round, which has a 1.50-m radius. Calculate the angular acceleration produced (a) when no one is on the merry-go-round and (b) when an 18.0-kg child sits 1.25 m away from the center. Consider the merry-go- round itself to be a uniform disk with negligible friction.

Ima Peode wishes to throw a 2.8-kg pumpkin horizontally off the top of the school roof in order to hit Mr. H's car. The car is parked a distance of 13.4 m away from the base of the building below the point where Ima is standing. The building's roof is 10.4 m high. Assuming no air resistance, with what horizontal speed must Ima toss the pumpkin in order to hit Mr. H's car.
Disturbed by speeding cars outside his workplace, Nobel laureate Arthur Holly Compton designed a speed bump (called the "Holly hump") and had it Installed.

0.6 m At Grattan Raceway there is a sharp hill known as the "Jump."Ifyou go about 39 m/s (87 mi/hr), your tires will just lose contact with the road. The instantaneous ra dius of curvature ofthe hill is e, and the center of mass is 0.6 mabove the road surface. a) Considering the vehicle as a particle, and assumingno aerodynamic forces, draw a free-body diagram for the vehicle when it is exactly at the top of the hill. (a b) Calculate the instantaneous ra dius of curvature pat thatpoint. c) Ifyouneeded to brake at this point, what would be your maximumnegative tangential acceleration rate? Assume that your tires have a coefficient of friction u-1.10 with the track.

A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutronto a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of thestrong force. That force, which “glues” the nucleus together, is approximatelyzero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutronwith an initial speed of 1.4 * 107 m/s is just barely captured by anucleus with diameter d = 1.0 * 10-14 m. Assuming the strongforce on the neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force.The neutron’s mass is 1.67 * 10-27 kg.
