Marie and Maria each send a spinning uniform disc towards the center of an axle. Marie’s disk has a mass of 0.5 kg with a radius of 15 cm and is spinning about the axle at a rate of 100 rpm. Maria’s disk also has a mass of 0.5 kg, but a radius of 20 cm, and it spins in the same direction as Marie’s at a rate of 150 rpm. The two discs then collide and stick together. What is their final rotational speed in rad/s?

A team of six people work to lift a platform of cargo with a mass of 300 kg up a cliff with a single rope and pulley. If the cargo rises with a constant speed of 1.2 m/s, how much power must each person provide?

In a riveting and apparently infuriating game of croquet, Pierre and Regnault launch their identical croquet balls, which have masses of 0.45 kg each, at each other instead of the wickets. Pierre fires his north at a speed of 5 m/s, and Regnault sends his south at a speed of 7 m/s. The balls collide midair, sending Regnault’s ball directly east at a speed of 4 m/s. In what direction does Pierre’s ball go after the collision? 

Hecelina drives her horse to pull her wagon up a long, shallow hill. The horse and wagon system have a mass of 1800 kg, and the horse provides a constant force of 1000 N directing the wagon up the hill. The hill rises a vertical distance of 8.0 m, and the hill is 85 m long along the slope. With what starting speed must Hecelina drive her horses so that they barely make it to the top of the hill before stopping? Neglect any drag forces.

The most typical way to overload a muscle group when participating in a resistance training program is to

The hero Oudart claims that he can “punch with the energy of a speeding arrow”. Assume his claims are true and he can punch with the same kinetic energy as a 15-g arrow fired at a speed of 65 m/s. Witnesses say that the speed of his arm during a punch is 5.5 m/s. What is the mass of Oudart’s arm?

The hero Oudart claims that he can “punch with the energy of a speeding arrow”. Assume his claims are true and he can punch with the same kinetic energy as a 15-g arrow fired at a speed of 65 m/s. Witnesses say that the speed of his arm during a punch is 6.0 m/s. What is the mass of Oudart’s arm?

Marie and Maria each send a spinning uniform disc towards the center of an axle. Marie’s disk has a mass of 0.5 kg with a radius of 15 cm and spins about the axle at a rate of 120 rpm. Maria’s disk also has a mass of 0.5 kg, but a radius of 20 cm, and it spins in the same direction as Marie’s at a rate of 150 rpm. The two discs then collide and stick together. What is their final rotational speed in rad/s?

A cubic wood block with a side length of 7.0 cm floats in water with 5.0 cm submerged. What is the density of the block?

Assume that a correct and complete version of the relevant adca_init function, introduced in Question 2, is available for use. ———————————————————————————————————— Write a “C” main routine, i.e., int main(void), to perform what is described within the prompt given before Question 2. Utilize the relevant adca_init function whenever appropriate. ———————————————————————————————————— In your provided response, format all text with the “Preformatted” style given by Canvas.
