You observe someone pulling a block of mass 48 kg across a low-friction surface. While they pull a distance of 3.0 m in the direction of motion, the speed of the block changes from 4.9 m/s to 7.7 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the person on the block. Thi...

Also, I know the rest energies would cancel out.

In the approximation that the Earth is a sphere of uniform density, it can be shown that the gravitational force it exerts on a mass m inside the Earth at a distance r from the center is mg(r/R), where R is the radius of the Earth. (Note that at the the surface and at the cent...

Oh, I forgot to add the negative sign with 3/7.

1. Get the inverse of each side in cos(θ)=-((3)/(7)). Cos^-1 (3/7) = theta. 2. From trig identities, we know sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ Substitute that in for sin2θ and just solve since you figured out θ in part 1 and you were given what cosθ equals, ...

A hanging wire made out of titanium with diameter 0.080 cm is initially 2.3 m long. When a 78 kg mass is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 2.89 cm. A mole of titanium has a mass of 47.9 grams, and its density is 4.51 g/cm3. Based on these experimental measurements, wh...

One mole of tungsten has a mass of 184 grams, and its density is 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter, so the center-to-center distance between atoms is 2.51×10-10 m. You have a long thin bar of tungsten, 2.2 m long, with a square cross-section 0.16 cm on a side. You hang the...

Jim is able to sell a hand-carved statue for $670 which was a 35% profit over his cost. How much did the statue originally cost him?
