If the proton has an initial speed of 9.00 × 106 m/s and travels 5.60 cm, what then is (a) its speed and (b) the increase in its kinetic energy?arrow_forwardA force F → = ( c x − 3.00 x 2 ) i ^ acts on a particle as the particle moves along an x axis, with F → in newtons, x in meters, and c a constant. At x = 0 , the particle’s kinetic energy is 23.0 J; at x = 2.80 m, it is 12.0 J. Find c in Newtons-per-meter.arrow_forwardThe force on a particle of mass 2.0 kg varies with position according to F(x) = −3.0x2 (x in meters, F(x) in newtons). The particle's speed at x = 3.0 m is 5.5 m/s. Find the particle's speed (in m/s) at x = 2.0 m, using the origin as the reference point. Find the particle's speed (in m/s) at = 2.0 m, using x = 5.0 mas the reference point.arrow_forward
- A block of mass m1 =3 kg is on a table and attached to a block of mass m2 =4 kg m2 =4 kg by a mass less string. The coefficient of friction is 0.28 between the table and m1.

- Two masses are pressed against opposite ends of a spring, with one mass at either end of the spring. The spring is has a spring constant of 181 N/m and the two 0.200 kg masses are identical to each other. Pressing the masses against the ends of the spring compresses the spring 21.5 cm from its normal length. If both masses rest on a frictionless, horizontal table, find the speed of each mass in SI units when it has moved free of the spring on the table.arrow_forwardConsider three vectors A = 15.3i + 1.7j, B = 9.5i + 9.1j, and C = -2.7i - 11.4j. What is the result of 2A⋅(B - 3C)? What is the result of A⋅A + B⋅B + C⋅C?arrow_forwardTarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree. He grabs the end of a vine with length 20 m that makes an angle of 45° with the vertical, steps off his tree limb, and swings down and then up to Jane’s open arms. When he arrives, his vine makes an angle of 30° with the vertical. Determine whether he gives her a tender embrace or knocks her off her limb by calculating Tarzan’s speed just before he reaches Jane. Ignore air resistance and the mass of the vine.arrow_forward
