Whenever possible, solve equations using algebraic symbols. Plug in numbers at
the end!
•
To receive full credit, your line of reasoning must be clear. Show the formulas used,
the numbers you plug into the formulae, and correct units.

1. (25 points) A puck of mass m = 0.50kg slides in a circle of radius r = 35.0cm on a frictionless
table while attached to a hanging cylinder of mass M = 1.20 kg by a cord through a hole in
the table. What speed of the puck keeps the cylinder in equilibrium? Draw Free body
diagrams for both objects! Remember, one object will be in equilibrium while the other one
isn’t! Assume g = 9.81 m/s^2
For the puck to remain in equilibrium (at rest) the magnitude of the tension force T of the cord
must be equal to the gravitational force on the cylinder. The tension force gives the centripetal
force that keeps the puck in tis circular orbit:
𝑇=
𝑚𝑣 2
𝑚𝑣 2
→ 𝑀𝑔 =

𝑟
Thus, we solve for the speed:
𝑣=√
𝑀𝑔𝑟
(1.20𝑘𝑔)(9.80𝑚/𝑠 2 )(0.35𝑚)
=√
= 2.87𝑚/𝑠

2. (25 points) An inebriated Peter Griffin brags how far he can throw a football to Lois and
Baby Stewie. He throws the ball with a velocity of 36.6 m/s at an angle of 42.7˚ above the
horizontal. The ball is released from his arm at a height of 1.70 m above the ground and lands
in the stands 10.3 above the ground, disrupting the whole game!!! . For each of the following,
write the information you have, the variable you need, and the equation(s) you are using –
show all work. You can ignore air fiction and treat the ball as a projectile, and therefore use
the constant acceleration equations.
Remember, for a projectile, a_x = 0 and a_y = -9.81 m/s^2
a. What is the time of flight of the ball (how long does it take to hit the stands if
you consider the time when it leaves Peter’s hand as time t = 0
s. Remember, it doesn’t start at ground level)?
We can use a kinematic equation that relates the initial and final positi...
