    Solving Physics Homework: Spring Length & Work Done

    Homework Statement A vertical spring is 10.0 cm long when supporting a 20.0 kg mass, and it is 12.0 cm long when supporting a 32.0 kg mass. Assume the stretch is linear with the load. a) What is the length of the spring with zero load? (0.06666667) b) How much work would be done in...

    Given a force equation and mass, find velocity

    Thanks NascentOxygen for your quick reply. While I do know how to use integral calculus being in Calculus III, we are not actually using it in our class. So far my professor has only touched on derivational calculus. I know from previous problem sets written by this professor that his...

    Given a force equation and mass, find velocity

    Homework Statement The force on a particle of mass 3.0 kg moving in one dimension at time t, is given by: F = 9.0 +2.0t - 4.0t2. What is the velocity of the particle? (Let v0=0 and ti=0)Homework Equations [/B] I know to use F = ma for sure. And I believe this is the motion equation I...
