Imagine a meter stick set up as in the figure (in the video above). It hangs from a central bracket, and two hanging masses can hang from it from each of their brackets. At a third location, a force probe can either pull up or pull down on the stick, depending on what is needed to balance the stick. The mass of the meter stick is 120 g. Use the principle of equilibrium (where the sum of torques is zero) to calculate the third, unknown force acting at x3 (what is m3)?

One newly discovered light particle has a mass of m and property q. Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle with a property Q and mass M. When the light particle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directly away from the heavy particle with a speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle? Amım2 Consider a new expression for gravitation potential energy as: PEgrav where A is a constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r r is the distance between them. Moreover, the new particle has an additional interaction with the heavy particle through the following force expression Ob 4TTE, p2 1 Fnew where Eo is a constant that is read as epsilon subscript 0, q and Q are their new properties, r is the distance between the new particle and the heavy particle. Solution: We may solve this using two approaches. One involves the Newton's Laws and the other involving Work-Energy…
