A 1.50-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Figure a). The object has a speed of vi = 3.30 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Figure b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Figure c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Figure d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Figure e). If the object becomes attached securely to the end of the spring when it makes contact, what is the new value of the distance D (in m) at which the object will come to rest after moving to the left?

The block slides 3.00 m from the point of release to the point where it comes to rest against the spring.

In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 48 cm and holds it in position with a force of 163 N. If the mass of the arrow is 51 g and the "spring" is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow? v=v= m/s A boy throws a ball of mass 0.2 kg straight upward with an initial speed of 22 m/s When the ball returns to the boy, its speed is 17 m/s How much work does air resistance do on the ball during its flight?

- A force F = (cx – 3.00x² )î acts on a particle as the particle moves along an x axis, with F in newtons, x in meters, andca constant. At x = 0 m, the particle's kinetic energy is 20.0 J; at x = 3.00 m, it is 11.0 J. Find c. Number Unitsarrow_forwardConsider the track shown in the figure below. Section AB is a quadrant of a circle of radius r = 2.00 m and is frictionless. From B to C is a horizontal section 3.0 m long with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.250. The section CD under the spring is frictionless. A block of mass m = 1.00 kg is released from rest at A. After sliding on the track, the block compresses 0.200 m the spring. Determine (using conservation of energy): (a) the speed of the block at point B. (b) the thermal energy (internal energy) produced when the block slips from B to C. (c) the velocity of the block at point C. (d) the stiffness constant k for the spring.arrow_forwardAn object of mass m = 2.9 kg is free to move on a horizontal surface without any friction.
