10. QuickCheck 12.5
The four forces shown have the same strength. Which force would be most effective in opening the door?
Force F1
Force F2
Force F3
Force F4
Either F1 or F3 10

11. QuickCheck 12.5
The four forces shown have the same strength. Which force would be most effective in opening the door?
Force F1
Force F2
Force F3
Force F4
Either F1 or F3
Your intuition likely led you to choose F1. The reason is that F1 exerts the largest torque about the hinge. 11

A student gives a quick push to a puck that can rotate in a horizontal circle on a frictionless table. After the push has ended, the puck’s angular speed
Steadily increases.
Increases for awhile, then holds steady.
Holds steady.
Decreases for awhile, then holds steady.
Steadily decreases. 14

Holds steady.
Decreases for awhile, then holds steady.
Steadily decreases.
A torque changes the angular velocity. With no torque, the angular velocity stays the same. This is Newton’s first law for rotation. 15

22. QuickCheck 12.11
Two buckets spin around in a horizontal circle on frictionless bearings. Suddenly, it starts to rain. As a result,
The buckets speed up because the potential energy of the rain is transformed into kinetic energy.
The buckets continue to rotate at constant angular velocity because the rain is falling vertically while the buckets move in a horizontal plane.
The buckets slow down because the angular momentum of the bucket + rain system is conserved.
The buckets continue to rotate at constant angular velocity because the total mechanical energy of the bucket + rain system is conserved.
None of the above. 22
