In Figure 5-51a, a constant horizontal force a is applied to block A, which pushes against block B with a 20.0 N force directed horizontally to the right. In Figure 5-51b, the same force is applied to block B; now block A pushes on block B with a 10.0 N force directed horizontally to the left...

An Earth satellite moves in a circular orbit 589 km above Earth's surface with a period of 96.26 min. What are (a) the speed and (b) the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the satellite? I know I need the equations for 1) period and 2) centripetal acceleration and 3) r. 1) T=...

I didn't understand this either. In this example, the units were given so I know gal/ft^2 is correct. Thanks for your help!

The description for a certain brand of house paint claims a coverage of 466 ft2/gal. (a) Express this quantity in square meters per liter. (b) Express this quantity in an SI unit (see Appendices A and D). (c) What is the inverse of the original quantity? I got answers for a) and b). a)...
