mechanics of a point mass

3. Series 21. Year - 1. English and Scots

Find the change in rotation speed of the Earth, if English and Scots would start to drive on right instead on left. Make just an estimation.

3. Series 21. Year - 2. lift to the skies

Find the properties of material, which you need to make a rope for a lift from geostationary orbit to the Earth surface. Is such material available on Earth?

3. Series 21. Year - 3. jumping on inclined plane

figure

A small ball is thrown in horizontal direction onto a inclined plane. The ball starts to jump on the plane and after $Ncontacts$ it falls at right angle onto the plane. An example of such trajectory for $N=4$ is in figure. What is the inclination angle of the plane $α?$ Assume, the ball bounce elastically, do not assume rotation.

2. Series 21. Year - 1. a spit

You travel in fast train and are looking outside of the open window. Three windows in front of you someone spits a chewing-gum. How long do you have to get back to coupe to avoid contact with chewing-gum? The chewing-gum is spherical shape and was not thrown out, but just laid in air flow.

2. Series 21. Year - 2. a car in the rain

Calculate a slope of front glass of a car, so that water drops at speed 80 km ⁄ h do not run off, but to the sides. Verify that you results is compatible with reality. What else influence the slope of front window?

1. Series 21. Year - 1. movement behind the window

Investigate following phenomenon: while in a moving train looking out of window, the objects at horizons do not move too fast. But objects close to window (e.g. telegraph poles) move extremely fast behind the window. How is this apparent speed related to the distance from the window?

1. Series 21. Year - P. catch the donkey

Lets assume that you own naughty donkey, which likes to jump over fence to visit your neighbours. To stop him you have bought higher fence and are planning to erect higher fence around the perimeter of your land. However, the place for fence is on a inclined plane and therefore the situation is little bit more complicated. What would be the best angle to erect the fence to make it most difficult for your donkey to jump over?

6. Series 19. Year - 1. climbing a bump

figure

A carriage of mass $m$ travels in horizontal direction at speed $\textbf{v}$. In front of him is a „wooden bump“ of mass $M$ and height $h$, which slides on the horizontal plane without friction (figure 1). The carriage goes onto the bump. What conditions must be fulfilled for carriage to go over the bump? What will be the final velocity of the bump?

6. Series 19. Year - 2. cuckoo-clock on the string

figure

Cuckoo-clock of mass $M$ are fixed at two long parallel stings (figure 2). Pendulum consists of small mass $m$ and light rod of length $l$. Calculate, how much will such clock speed up comparing to the clock fixed on the wall.

6. Series 19. Year - 3. spinning the electrical motor

On the axle of motor the sting is winded up. At the end of the string a small mass $m$ is fixed. If the motor is connected to the ideal voltage source of voltage $U$, small mass travels up at speed $v_{1}$. What speed will the small mass reach, if the voltage source is disconnected and the motor contacts are connected (shorted)? Assume friction-less devices.
