A block of mass M is attached to a spring of negligible mass and can slide on a horizontal surface along the x-direction, as shown above. There is friction present between the block and the surface. The spring exerts no force on the block when the center of the block is located at x=0. At the instant shown above, the block is located at x=0 and moving toward the right with speed v=v0. (a) For the instant shown above, with the block located at x=0 and moving to the right, predict the direction of the net force on the block. If the net force is zero, select “The net force is zero.” ____ To the left ____ The net force is zero ____ To the right Briefly justify your prediction.
A pendulum is 0.890 m long, and the bob has a mass of 1.00 kg. At the bottom of its swing, the bob’s speed is 1.60 m/s. a. What is the tension in the string at the bottom of the swing? answer in N b. The tension is greater than the weight of the bob because of which of the following? its horizontal component is increasing from zero. the bob has zero acceleration. the bob has a downward acceleration, so the net Fy must be downward. the bob has an upward acceleration, so the net Fy must be upward.

Using a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds 387 N, you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing 449 N from a point 6.1 m above the ground. Obviously if you hang the bundle on the rope, it will snap. So, you allow the bundle to accelerate downward. (a)What magnitude of the bundle’s acceleration will put the rope on the verge of snapping? (b) At that acceleration, with what speed would the bundle hit the ground?
