    Elastic potential energy of toy car

    Homework Statement A toy car of mass 0.5kg is pushed agains a spring so that it is compressed by 0.1m. The spring obeys Hooke's Law and has a spring constant of 50N/m. When the toy car is released, what will its speed be at the instant that the spring returns to its natural length? Assume that...

    Solve Simple Motion Prob: Inst. Speed of Bicycle 5m

    Homework Statement Two physics students are trying to determine the instantaneous speed of a bicycle 5m from the start of a 1000m sprint. They use a stopwatch to measure the time taken for the bicyble to cover the first 10m. If the acceleration was constant, and the measured time was 4sec...

    Action/reaction force in relation to Newton's 3 law

    How do i differentiate b/t an action/reaction force described in Newton's Third Law acting on two different bodies, with the normal force and the weight force acting on the same body. eg: Scenario 1: a bin rest on a table: the weight force of the bin exerts on the table due to gravity, and...
