Q: Suppose the sled in Exercise 6.36 is initially at rest
Suppose the sled in Exercise 6.36 is initially at rest at x = 0. Use the work–energy theorem to find the speed of the sled at (a) x = 8.0 m and (b) x = 12.0 m. Ignore friction between the sled and the...
See AnswerQ: A spring of force constant 300.0 N/m and
A spring of force constant 300.0 N/m and unstretched length 0.240 m is stretched by two forces, pulling in opposite directions at opposite ends of the spring, that increase to 15.0 N. How long will th...
See AnswerQ: A 6.0-kg box moving at 3.0
A 6.0-kg box moving at 3.0 m/s on a horizontal, frictionless surface runs into a light spring of force constant 75 N/cm. Use the work–energy theorem to find the maximum compression of the spring.
See AnswerQ: Suppose the worker in Exercise 6.3 pushes downward at an
Suppose the worker in Exercise 6.3 pushes downward at an angle of 30° below the horizontal. (a) What magnitude of force must the worker apply to move the crate at constant velocity? (b) How much work...
See AnswerQ: As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back
As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. When you pus...

(a) In Example 6.7 (Section 6.3) it was calculated that with the air track turned off, the glider travels 8.6 cm before it stops instantaneously. How large would the coefficient of static friction
See AnswerQ: A 4.00-kg block of ice is placed against
A 4.00-kg block of ice is placed against a horizontal spring that has force constant k = 200 N/m and is compressed 0.025 m. The spring is released and accelerates the block along a horizontal surface....
