With the class watching from a safe (and dry!) distance below, suppose the student drops the balloon and the balloon hits the sidewalk with a force of 20 N. How much work was done on the sidewalk by the balloon?

A leather ball of circumference 75.9 m and mass 557 g is forced to the bottom of a swimming pool and then released. After initially accelerating upward, it rises at a constant velocity. a) Calculate the buoyant force on the ball. b) Calculate the drag force the ball experience...

A supertanker filled with oil has a total mass of 14.1·10^8 kg. If the dimensions of the ship are those of a rectangular box 271 m long, 93.1 m wide, and 93.1 m high, determine how far the bottom of the ship is below sea level (ρsea = 1020 kg/m^3).

A 2.49-m-long string, fixed at both ends, has a mass of 7.17 g. If you want to set up a standing wave in this string having a frequency of 455 Hz and 5 antinodes, what tension should you put the string under?

In a lab, a student measures the unstretched length of a spring as 0.109 m. When a 131.4-g mass is hung from the spring, its length is 0.201 m. The mass-spring system is set into oscillatory motion, and the student observes that the amplitude of the oscillation decreases by ab...

A grandfather clock uses a physical pendulum to keep time. The pendulum consists of a uniform thin rod of mass M = 7.01 kg and length L = 0.15 m that is pivoted freely about one end, with a solid sphere of the same mass, 7.01 kg, and a radius of L/2 centered about the free end...

A vertical spring with a spring constant of 1.89 N/m has a 0.307-kg mass attached to it, and the mass moves in a medium with a damping constant of 0.0221 kg/s. The mass is released from rest at a position 4.81 cm from the equilibrium position. How long will it take for the amp...
