A boy runs in a straight line and jumps onto the edge of a merry-go-round on a playground, which is initially not spinning. The boy initially runs tangent to the edge of the merry-go-round and jumps with the same velocity, as shown. After the jump he sits down and spins with the merry-go-round. Take the center of the merry-go-round as the origin of the coordinate system and ignore any frictional effects. Which of the following statements is true for the boy plus merry-go-round system ? Select exactly one answer.

1.The total initial angular momentum is zero and total momentum is not conserved.

2.The total initial angular momentum is non-zero and total angular momentum is conserved.

3.The total initial momentum is non-zero and total momentum is conserved.

4.The total initial angular momentum is zero and total momentum is conserved.

5.The total initial momentum is zero and total momentum is conserved.

6.The total initial momentum is zero and mechanical energy is conserved

Suppose that two tanks, 1 and 2, each with a large opening at the top, contain different liquids. a small hole is made in the side of each tank at the same depth 1.57 m below the liquid surface, but the hole in tank 2 has 2.49 times the cross-sectional area of the hole in tank 1. (a) what is the ratio ρ1/ρ2 of the densities of the liquids if the mass flow rate is the same for the two holes? (b) what is the ratio rv1/rv2 of the volume flow rates from the two tanks? (c) at one instant, the liquid in tank 1 is 14.9 cm above the hole. if the tanks are to have equal volume flow rates, what height above the hole must the liquid in tank 2 be just then?

As you are trying to move a heavy box of mass m, you realize that it is too heavy for you to lift by yourself. there is no one around to , so you attach an ideal pulley to the box and a massless rope to the ceiling, which you wrap around the pulley. you pull up on the rope to lift the box. use g for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity and neglect friction forces. once you have pulled hard enough to start the box moving upward, what is the magnitude f of the upward force you must apply to the rope to start raising the box with constant velocity? express the magnitude of the force in terms of m, the mass of the box.
