    An oscillating spring with mass

    A 1.00 kg glider attached to a spring with a force constant 49.0 N/m oscillates on a horizontal, frictionless air track. At t = 0, the glider is released from rest at x = -2.7 cm. (That is, the spring is compressed by 2.7 cm.) (a) Find the period of its motion. (b) Find the maximum values of...

    Calculating Bathysphere Mass for Constant Descent at 1.10 m/s

    A bathysphere used for deep-sea exploration has a radius of 1.52 m and a mass of 1.20 x 104 kg. To dive, this submarine takes on mass in the form of sea water. Determine the amount of mass that the submarine must take on if it is to descend at a constant speed of 1.10 m/s, when the resistive...

    Absolute pressure at an ocean depth

    a) Calculate the pressure at an ocean depth of 550 m. Assume that the density of sea water is 1022 kg/m3 and that the air above exerts a pressure of 101.3 kPa. b) At this depth, what force must the frame around a circular submarine porthole having a diameter of 32.0 cm exert to counterbalance...

    How Fast Does Robin Hood's Arrow Propel the Sheriff's Hat?

    Would I use F=ma to find the acceleration and then plug that into v=v0 + at to find the time?

    How Fast Does Robin Hood's Arrow Propel the Sheriff's Hat?

    I found that the speed of the arrow before the collision was: KE = 1/2mv^2 9.8 J = 1/2(0.2 kg)(v)^2 v = 98 m/s And used the equation: m1v1i + m2v2i = (m1 + m2)vf And found that the final velocity was 2.8 m/s How do you start part (B)

    Hydraulic Piston on te bottom of a hill

    At a ride in an amusement part a cart, with a mass of 150 kg, rolls down a long curved hill. The height of the hill is 50 m and the length of the track that the cart follows is 300 m. As the cart rolls down the hill, it experiences both a rolling frictional force and air resistance. The net...

    How Fast Does Robin Hood's Arrow Propel the Sheriff's Hat?

    Robin Hood is walking through Sherwood Forest when he comes upon the Sheriff of Nottingham. The Sheriff tells Robin Hood he is going to arrest him for numerous misdeeds. Robin pulls out his bow, loads an arrow, pulls the bow back 0.70 m, and shoots an arrow into the Sheriff's hat, knocking the...
