A hockey puck of mass 150 g is sliding due east on a frictionless table with a speed of 10 m/s. Suddenly, a constant force of magnitude 5 N and direction due north is applied to the puck for 1.5 s. Find the north and east components of the momentum at the end of the 1.3-s interval.
A ball having mass 3.2kg and velocity 9.4m/s travels due east. An impulsive force at point O, makes it change direction to due north with velocity 9.9 m/s. What is the angle counterclockwise from the +x (east) axis of the impulsive force in degrees?
Consider an object of mass m = 4 kg on a frictionless table. The object experiences a repulsive force F = a/x2 + b/x, where F is in newtons and x is the position of the object relative to the origin. If the object starts at rest at a position x3 = 1.3 m and is released, at what speed v, in meters per second, will the object be moving when it is at position x4 = 12.5 m?
A mass M1 (of 2.5 kg) slides without friction on a table at a speed of 5 m/sec towards a mass M2 of 5 kg which can also slide without friction on the table. There is a spring on the face of M2 that will contact M1. If the spring constant is 100 N/m, what will be the maximum compression of the spring?
An object with mass m1 = 1kg moving to the right at a speed of 4m / s collides with a spring attached to a second block of mass m2 = 2kg moving left at 2m / s on a horizontal plane without friction as shown in the figure. The force constant of the spring is 105N / m and find the compression amount of the spring when the mass m1 moves at a speed of 3m / s to the right.
Hello, can you please help me with this physics question? A ball with a mass of 0.17 kg is bounced off a tenis court. Before hiting the ground, the ball is moving at a velocity of (1.4, -8.5)m/s. If the ground exerts a force of 203 N acting upward for a time of 0.0125s, what is the final velocity of the ball leaving the ground of the tenis court? (the y value is positive in the upward direction)
On a flat, frictionless table, two blocks (B1 of mass 2.00 kg and B2 of mass 3.00 kg) are pressed together against either end of an ideal massless spring. The spring stores 75.0 J of elastic potential energy. The blocks are not attached to the spring. What will the coefficient of restitution be if both blocks are released simultaneously?
Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the drawstring back 62 cm from its rest position and holds it in position with a force of 170 N. If the mass of the arrow is 59 g and the "spring" is massless, what is the speed (in m/s) of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?
A stationary soccer ball of mass m = 0.76 kg is kicked with a constant force of F = 11 N. The woman's foot is in contact with the ball for t = 0.12 s. Write an expression for the speed of the ball vi as it leaves the womans foot. If the ball left the womans foot at at an angel of theta=45degrees relative to the horizontal, how high h did it go in meters?
Hello, here is my question A spring with spring constant k = 3.75 N/cm is compressed 7.00 cm. A 1.50 kg mass is placed next to the compressed spring. When the spring is released, this mass moves without friction and collides with a stationary mass of 2.00 kg. The two masses stick together and move without friction up a slope angled at 20.0 degrees. (a) (10 points) How far along the slope does the two-mass system travel? (b) (5 points) If it takes 5.00*10-3 seconds from the initial impact for the two masses to stick together, what is the magnitude of the average contact force between the two blocks? (c) (5 points) The two-mass system will slide back down the slope and compress the spring. What is the spring’s maximum compression? Thank you!
An office worker smacks a table, bringing his hand to rest in 0.0025 seconds from an initial speed of 4.00 m/s. How much force is exerted on the table, taking the effective mass of his forearm and hand to be 1.5 kg? (Answer in 1 decimal place, in kilo-newtons, no unit)
The only force acting on a 2.0-kg body moving along the x axis is given by Fx = 2x where force is measured in Newtons, N, and x is in meters. If the velocity of the object at x = 0 is +3.0 m/s, how fast is it moving at x = 2.0 m?
