Homework Statement
A charged particle (either an electron or a proton) is moving rightward between two parallel charged plates separated by distance d = 1.90 mm. The particle is slowing from an initial speed of 93.5 km/s at the left plate. The left plate has V=-70V and the right plate has...
Homework Statement
A rocket is launched vertically up with no initial velocity. Propulsion is provided by the ejection of mass with constant velocity of ejection u = 66.0 m/s relative to the rocket and at a constant rate so determined that the initial acceleration is zero. The mass of fuel...
Homework Statement
A boy shoves his stuffed toy zebra down a frictionless chute, starting at a height of 1.05 m above the bottom of the chute and with an initial speed of 1.71 m/s. The toy animal emerges horizontally from the bottom of the chute and continues sliding along a horizontal surface...
Thank you guys! I finally figured out the right answer! But when I solve for the quadratic equation, why is the distance vector only distributed to the friction force? This is what I tried to do...
W=(-1/2kx^2+friction force)*x
and this is what is right...
W=-1/2kx^2+friction force*x
Is it...
Homework Statement
A block of mass m = 4.30 kg slides along a horizontal table with speed v0 = 8.50 m/s. At x = 0 it hits a spring with spring constant k = 68.00 N/m and it also begins to experience a friction force. The coefficient of friction is given by μ = 0.200. How far did the spring...
