If an object with a mass of 1.6 kg changes it speed from 3.13 m/s to 8.14 m/s, what is its change in kinetic energy? Assume that the answer has proper SI Units
When a 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider sports car accelerates at the maximum possible rate, its motion during the first 20 s is extremely well modeled by the simple equation: v2x =(2P/m)*twhere P=3.6×104 W is the car's power output, m = 1200kg is its mass, and vx is in m/s. That is, the square of the car's velocity increases linearly with time
Find a symbolic expression, in terms of P, m, and t, for the car's acceleration at time t.
If a 3.15 kg object is placed on a frictionless incline of 70.5 º and released from rest, what is speed of the object down the incline after traveling a distance of 1.5 m? Enter a number rounded to 2 decimal places and assume it has proper SI units.

Casino advertising boasts that a professional basketball player can lie on top of the machine and his head and feet will not hang off the edge! The ball launcher in the machine sends metal balls up one side of the machine and then into play. The spring in the launcher (Fig. P6.60) has a force constant of 1.20 N/cm. The surface on which the ball moves is inclined = 10.0 with respect to the horizontal. The spring is initially compressed its maximum distance d = 5.00 cm. A ball of mass 100 g is projected into play by releasing the plunger. Casino visitors find the play of the giant machine quite exciting.arrow_forward
