Kinematics
If a car traveling in a straight line triples its velocity over a certain time interval, by what factor does the kinetic energy of the car change within that same time interval?
The kinetic energy doubles.
The kinetic energy remains constant.
The kinetic energy increases by a factor of six.
The kinetic energy increases by a factor of nine.
To investigate how non-inertial reference frames could affect projectile trajectories contrary to classical mechanics predictions, what kind of experiment could be designed?
Repeating Galileo’s ramp experiments on a moving train and comparing results with stationary setups.
Dropping objects off a spinning disc and measuring radial displacement upon landing relative to traditional expectations.
Launching missiles at high latitudes where Earth's rotation speed differs significantly, observing deflections against calculated values.
Firing projectiles within a rotating space station and analyzing trajectory alterations compared to non-rotating environments.
A satellite orbits Earth in circular orbit with orbital velocity , calculate the change in its kinetic energy when it radially moves from orbit radius to where using only universal gravitation constants and masses involved.
When a satellite moves from an earth orbit to a higher one by increasing its radius of orbit by a factor of four, what is the effect on its orbital velocity assuming mass and gravitational force are constant?
The orbital velocity remains the same.
The orbital velocity doubles.
The satellite experiences no force and moves freely in space.
The orbital velocity decreases by half.
A disk spinning at a rate experiences an external torque for duration ; what expression gives the final angular momentum of the disk?
What quantity remains constant for an ice skater who pulls her arms in to spin faster?
Angular momentum remains constant.
Moment of inertia remains constant.
Angular velocity remains constant.
Linear speed remains constant.
A car moves along a straight path with acceleration that varies over time ; if its initial speed was zero, how will its final speed after time be affected if acceleration becomes proportional to instead of ?
The final speed increases since grows faster initially compared to for small times near zero.
The final speed remains unchanged because only total time affects it when starting from rest.
The final speed decreases since integrating gives smaller values than integrating over any interval .
