University of Regina Department of Physics Physics 109 Final Examination Date: June 25, 2019 Duration: 3 hours Instructor: G. Koleva Instructions, Please Read ‘You are required to solve all questions except the additional one. You have 10 problems in Section I, worth 3 points each, 7 problems in Section II, worth 10 points each, to a total of 100 points. Additional question: Attempt this question only if you want to try to improve your midterm mark Write clearly with good diagrams (if required), and with sufficient detail so we can follow your work. You are allowed to use a calculator and any number of writing implements of your choice. The clarity and neatness of your solution is taken into account in the grading process. Good luck Section I - Conceptual Questions (only answers required, except when explicitly asked to explain.). Problem 1: A vector is: (a) a force. (b) any quantity with a magnitude and direction. (c) a velocity. (a) any quantity which can be expressed with a single number (e) not necessary in physics.

Choose ALL the right statements (ignoring air resistance) (a) Projectile 2 has longer time of fight than Projectile 1 (b) Projectile 1 has longer time of flight than Projectile 2 (c) They have the same time of flight. (d) Projectile 1 has larger horizontal velocity component than Projectile 2. (c) They have the same horizontal velocity componentProblem 3: From the graph on Fig. , what will the x-component of the acceleration be at t=3s? VA m/s @os (b) 13-3 () 13-3 (35 () -75 4 Problem 4: To make an object start moving on a surface with friction requires (a) less force than to keep it moving on the surface. (b) the same force as to keep it moving on the surface. (c) more force than to keep it moving on the surface. (d) a force equal to the weight of the object. (e) a force bigger than the weight of the object. Problem 5: If a kangaroo on Earth can jump from a standing start so that its feet reach a height h above the surface, approximately how high can the same kangaroo jump on the Moon? (d1room = }9eareh) Problem 6: A firecracker at rest explodes, sending fragments off in all directions. Initially the firecracker had zero momentum, but the fragments after the explosion have quite a lot of momentum. Has momentum been created or not? ExplainProblem 7: Two satellites are in orbit around Mars, with the same orbital radius. Satellite 2 has twice the mass of Satellite 1. The normal (centripetal) acceleration of Satellite 2 has: (a) twice the magnitude of that of Satellite 1 (b) the same magnitude as the one of Satellite 1 (c) half the magnitude of that of Satellite 1 (a) four times the magnitude of that of Satellite 1 Problem 8: A boy swings on a tire swing. When is the tension in the rope the greatest (a) At the highest point of the trajectory. (b) At the lowest point of the trajectory. (c) At the midpoint of the trajectory. (d) It is constant. (e) The tension is zero all the time. Problem 9: You apply a given torque to a thin rod which can rotate about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to it. What will happen with the angular acceleration of the rod if you double its length? (a) It will increase 4 tin (b) It will increase 2 times (c) It will not change a) Tt will decrease 2 times. (c) It will decrease 4 times. ( ( Problem 10: If the angle of incidence is greater than the angle of refraction for a light beam passing an interface, what can be said about the relative values of the indices of refraction and the speed of light in the first and second media? Section II: Provide all necessary reasoning and explanations. Problem 11: A coneave(converging) mirror has a radius of curvature 54 em. An object is placed at 85 cm from the mirror. (a) Draw the ray diagram for this case. What will the properties of the image be: real or virtual; upright or inverted; enlarged or diminished. (b) ‘What is the distance to the image? What is the magnification of the image? Problem 12: A 2.00 kg block is pushed against a spring with negligible mass and spring constant k = 400 ¥ compressing it 0.220 m along a frictionless horizontal surface (sce Fig. 1) What is the speed’ of the block as it slides along the surface having left the spring Problem 13: A ball of mass m makes a head on elastic collision with a second ball (at rest) and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed equal to one fourth its original speed. What is t the first ba ne mass of the second ball? Express your answer in terms of the m, the mass ofk AAAA VVVVVI 1 A 0220m B Figure 1: Mass spring system Problem 14: While standing on a long board of mass of 15 kg resting on a scaffold, a 70 kg painter paints the side of a house, as shown on Figure 2, How close to the end can the painter stand without tipping the board over? In your solution include a free body diagram of the board and a well defined coordinate system with your chosen axis of rotation clearly marked. Figure 2: Painter on a scaffold. Problem 15: A ball is thrown vertically upward and risos to a maxinvum height of 1.00 x 10? m, Calculate (i) the initial speod, (fi) the time it takes to attain this height, and (fii) the speed of the ball at 60.0 m above the ground? Problem 16: An automobile engine slows down from 3500 revolutions per minutes to 1100 revolutions per minutes in 3.40 s. Calculate: (i) Its angular acceleration, assumed constant, (di) the total number of revolutions the engine makes in this time. Problem 17: A solid ball is released from rest and slides down a hillside that slopes downward at 65° from the horizontal. (a) What minimum value must the coefficient of static friction (between the surface of the hill and the ball) be for no slipping to occur? (b) Would the coefficient of friction calculated in case (a) be sufficient to prevent a hollow ball (such as a soccer ball) from slipping? ExplainAdditional Question: A skier going downslope hits a bump that sends him into the air at an angle of 25.0° with the slope. If you know that the initial speed of the skier when airbome is 17.0 , caleulate how far down the slope he lands (see Fig. 3). Disregard any air resistance.
