Module 4: Application of Newton’s Law
Lesson 1: The Impulse and The Momentum
Application:
Instruction. Read and analyze the problem. Solve the problem using the principles of impulse
and momentum. Rewrite the problem in your notebook then write your solution below. Photo
document your solution then upload/submit it using your Physics 601 google classroom. Submit
your notebook with all the solve exercises at the end of the semester or when the instructor
require you to submit.
1. A 50 N gun fires a 1.0-gram bullet at a speed of 2200 m/s. What is the speed of gun
recoil?
2. An axe that weighs 8.0 kg is used to strikes the log with a force of 400 N that comes
to rest in 0.04 seconds. What is the magnitude of the impulse? How fast is the axe
approach the log?
3. A baseball of 145 grams is pitched at a speed of 30 m/s hit by a baseball bat causing
the baseball to drive straight back horizontally at a speed of 45 m/s. The contact
time between baseball and bat is 5.0 milliseconds, what is the magnitude of the
force between the baseball and bat?
4. Two object of masses 0.20 kg and 0.10 kg approach each other at 5.0 m/s and 2.5
m/s, respectively. Assuming that the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the speed
of the objects after the collision?
5. Two perfectly elastic balls, weighing 27 N and 18 N, approach each other with a
speed of 6 m/s and 11 m/s, respectively. What is the speed of the balls after the
collision?
Lesson 2: Torque
Application:
Instruction. Read and analyze the problem. Solve the problem using the principles of torque
and other applicable physics principle. Rewrite the problem in your notebook then write your
solution below. Photo document your solution then upload/submit it using your Physics 601
google classroom. Submit your notebook with all the solve exercises at the end of the semester
or when the instructor require you to submit.
A 3.0 meters long solid shaft makes an angle of 35 degrees with the horizontal. A vertical force of 50 N is
applied 0.60 m from the upper end. What is the magnitude of the torque due to the vertical force about
each end?
1. A Ladder of 6.0 meters in length weighs 150 N rests on horizontal ground and leans at an
angle of 65 degrees with the horizontal against a smooth vertical wall. How far up the ladder
may a 700 N person go before the ladder slips? The coefficient of friction between ladder
and ground is 0.40.
2. A Flat bar is loaded with boxes as shown in
figure at right. Box M = 50 kg, what must be
the magnitude of mass m so that the bar
becomes level? Neglect the weight of the bar.
What torque about each end of the bar?
Lesson 3: Uniform Circular Motion
Application:
Instruction. Read and analyze the problem. Solve the problem using the principles of circular
motion and other applicable physics principle. Rewrite the problem in your notebook then
write your solution below. Photo document your solution then upload/submit it using your
Physics 601 google classroom. Submit your notebook with all the solve exercises at the end of
the semester or when the instructor require you to submit.
1. A pail of water will be swung with a vertical radius of 1.0 m. What will be the
minimum speed so that the water inside the pail will not splash out the pail?
2. A 10,000 kg vehicle will round the having a radius of 150 meter. The curved road is
banked at 25 degrees with the horizontal, find the minimum coefficient of friction.
3. If the coefficient of friction between tires and roadway is 0.40, what is the minimum radius
at which a car can turn on a horizontal road when its speed is 43.75 ft/s?
4. Find the acceleration and the centripetal force of a 14 kN car that rounds the curved
of radius of 50 meters having a speed of 8 km/h.
