What is the gravitational force on a 70-kg person standing on the Earth, due to the Moon?  The mass of the Moon is 7.36 × 1022 kg and the distance to the Moon is 3.82 × 108 m. G = 6.67 x 10-11 N m2/ Kg2   

A wheel accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 4.5 rad/s2.  If the initial angular velocity is 1.0 rad/s, what is the angular velocity at t = 2.0 s?

Starting from rest, a 4.0-kg body reaches a speed of 8.0 m/s in 2.0 s. What is the net force acting on the body?

A boy and a girl are riding on a merry-go-round which is turning at a constant rate.  The boy is near the outer edge, and the girl is closer to the center.  Who has the greater angular displacement?

A block is released from rest at point P and slides along the frictionless track shown. At point P, its mechanical energy  is:

The outer shell electrons in metals are not tightly bound to the nuclei of their atoms. They are free to roam throughout the material, moving from atom to atom. These materials are good ____.

The bolts on a car wheel require tightening to a torque of 90 N∙m.  If a 30 cm long wrench is used, what is the magnitude of the force required when the force is perpendicular to the wrench?

True or False: The acceleration of gravity experienced by objects located near to (and far from) from the earth depends upon the mass of the object.

A 5.0-kg cart is moving horizontally at 6.0m/s. In order to change its speed to 10.0m/s, the net work done on the cart must be:

A 9000-N automobile is pushed along a level road by four students who apply a total forwardforce of 500 N. Neglecting friction, the acceleration of the automobile is
