    How can I solve this box of mass work problem quickly?

    Work Problem Need Help Fast A box of mass m is sliding along a horizontal surface. The box leaves position x = 0 with speed v_0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at position x = x_1. Find F_f, the magnitude of the average frictional force that acts...

    Is the Normal Force Correct in Your Friction Work Calculation?

    A 19.1 kg block is dragged over a rough, hor- izontal surface by a constant force of 195 N acting at an angle of angle 29.1 degrees above the horizontal. The block is displaced 30.3 m, and the coeficient of kinetic friction is 0.116. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 . the...

    Help Solving Angular Work Problem: 11676 J?

    A 42.0 kg wheel, essentially a thin hoop with radius 0.90 m, is rotating at 250 rpm. It must be brought to a stop in 10 s. How much work must be done to stop it. I used the equation delta K = 1/2 I w^2_f - 1/2 I w^2_i = W and got - 11676 J, but this is not right. Help?

    Calculate Work Done by Force F on Mass 109g Object

    A force F = (11.5i + 9.62j + 13.2k)kN acts on a small object of mass 109g. If the displacement of the object is d = (5.63i + 3.81j) m, calculate the work done by the force. I know W=F*d*cos theta so W=101.4 cos theta How do I find theta? Do I use the inverse tangant of the F and the d?

    Solve Work Problem: 2.03 mol He, 295 K, 0.350 atm to 1.00 atm

    here is the problem: A 2.03 mol sample of helium gas initially at 295 K and 0.350 atm is compressed isothermally to 1.00 atm. Assume that the helium behaves as an ideal gas. what is the work done on the gas. well i know that w=-p*change in volume i can figure out the final...

    How can the definite integral be 8/3 when the indefinite is -1/3*(4-y^2)^(3/2)?

    I am working on a problem involving a semicircular tank underground, and how much work is required to pump water out of the top. i set everything as i see correctly, but cannot computer the definite integral. i only know basic substitution and to some degree integration by parts, but that is...

    How Do You Calculate the Pulling Force on a Crate for Zero Net Work?

    Hello! I need a little help here. I have been trying to figure out this problem, but I just can't and I don't know where I am going wrong. A 116 -kg crate is being pulled across a horizontal floor by a force P that makes an angle of 35.2 ° above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic...

    Solving Easy Work Problem: 10N x 3.5m and 805 N x 22m

    Hi, i haven't been at school this week so i only got the homework and no help. I know this is an easy question so just tell me which way of doing it is right. A person carries a carton of milk that is a weight of 10 N for a distance of 3.5m along a level surface. How much work is being...
