A 2.5 kg block at rest on a tabletop is attached to a horizontal spring having constant 19.6 N/m. The spring is initially unstretched. A constant 20 N horizontal force is applied to the object, causing the spring to stretch. Determine the speed of the block after it has moved 0.900 m from...
When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water...
Find the work done by a gas when it is expanded from a volume of 1.0 L to 3.3 L at a constant pressure of 2.8 atm.
I converted the atm to Pascals by multiplying 2.8 x 101325 to get 283710.
Then I used the formula W=p(deltaV)
so 283710 x (3.3-1.0) = 652533
I don't understand why this...
A 55 g ice cube at 0°C is heated until 40 g has become water at 100°C and 15 g has become steam at 100°C. How much energy was added to accomplish the transformation?
I tried using Q=mL for each change and adding them together.
Q=.055(3.33x10^5)
Q=18315
then
Q=.015(2.26x10^6)...
A child slides across a floor in a pair of rubber-soled shoes. The friction force acting on each foot is 25 N, the cross-sectional area of each foot is 20 cm2, and the height of the soles is 5.0 mm. Find the horizontal distance traveled by the sheared face of the sole. The shear modulus of the...
One method of pitching a softball is called the "windmill" delivery method, in which the pitcher's arm rotates through approximately 360° in a vertical plane before the 198 gram ball is released at the lowest point of the circular motion. An experienced pitcher can throw a ball with a speed of...
A coin with a diameter of 2.20 cm is dropped on edge onto a horizontal surface. The coin starts out with an initial angular speed of 15.9 rad/s and rolls in a straight line without slipping. If the rotation slows with an angular acceleration of magnitude 1.76 rad/s2, how far does the coin roll...
Objects with masses of 285 kg and a 585 kg are separated by 0.390 m. Find the net gravitational force exerted by these objects on a 30.0 kg object placed midway between them. Then, at what position (other than infinitely remote ones) can the 30.0 kg object be placed so as to experience a net...

An automobile with four wheel drive has mass of 1000kg. Its weight is evenly distrubuted among the four wheels, whos coefficient of static friction with the road is 0.80. If the car starts from rest and the road is horizontal calculate the maximum acceleration it can attain without spinning its...
