1

If the maximum speed of an object attached to the end of a elastic has a 1:1 ratio (a meter per second for each meter) with how much the elastic is stretched or compressed from its starting position, which of the following is true?

2

A projectile is launched straight upwards at an initial velocity of . What is the maximum height that this projectile reaches in meters?

Round to the nearest meter, and assume the projectile encounters no air resistance.

3

A plane weighing 1500kg dives 40m with its engine off before it goes into a circular pattern with a radius of 200m while maintaining its speed at the end of its dive. How much centripetal force, in Newtons, is acting on the plane?

4

A set of cars on a roller coaster with a combined mass of is at the top of its initial hill and will drop down the hill before the track starts to rise again. What will the coaster's speed be at the moment the track starts to rise again?

Round to the nearest meter per second. You may also assume the track does not create friction.

5

An object with a mass of is moving at in a straight line on a fricitonless surface. After a force of acting in the direction of its motion is applied to it for , what is the object's speed in meters per second?

6

A pumpkin is being launched out of an air cannon. For safety reasons, the pumpkin cannot be more than off the ground during flight, and this particular cannon always launches pumpkins at meters per second—any more power and the pumpkin could be blasted apart; any less and the pumpkin may not leave the launch tube.

What is the maximum possible angle of launch in degrees?

Round to the nearest whole degree.
