(a) Determine the minimum weight of block C to keep A from sliding if µs between A and the table is 0.21. (b) Block C suddenly is lifted off A. What is the acceleration of block A if µk
A student throws a ball vertically upward such that it travels 6.9 m to its maximum height,If the ball is caught at the initial height 2.1 second after being thrown, what is the ball's average speed
A jet fighter plane is launched from a catapult on an aircraft carrier. It reaches a speed of 42 m/s at the end of the catapult, and this requires 2.0 s. Assuming the acceleration is constant, what

A carnot heat pump operates between an outdoor temperature of 258 K and an indoor temperature of 283 K. Find its coefficient of performance.
An electron and a proton are each accelerated through a potential difference of 21 million volts. Find the momentum (in MeV/c) and kinetic energy of each, and compare with the results when using the
Calculate the friction force on a walking 75.0 kg astronaut carrying a 44.0 kg instrument pack on the moon if the coefficient of kinetic friction at her hip joint is 0.0050. (Recall that approximate
Suppose that from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s, the elevator ascends at a constant speed of 10 m/s. Its speed is then steadily reduced to zero during the next 3.2 s, so that it is at rest at t = 8.1 s. Descri
Two identical point charges (q = +7.25 10-6 C) are fixed at diagonally opposite corners of a square with sides of length 0.485 m. A test charge (q0 = -2.60 10-8 C), with a mass of 7.05 10-8 kg, is re
Two point charges are on the y-axis. A 5.5 µC charge is located at y = 1.15 cm, and a -2.26 µC charge is located at y = -1.30 cm. (a) Find the total electric potential at the origin.
Using the knowledge that the air in bell will change in volume and water will rise into bell by a bit, find the height that water rises into the bell.
A physics professor claims in court that the reason he went through the red light (λ = 660 nm) was that, due to his motion the red color was Doppler shifted to green (λ = 520 nm). How
The work output of the engine is 9*10^5 J in each cycle. Compute the temperature of the reservoirs between which the engine operates.
An irregular neutral conductor has a hollow cavity inside of it and is insulated from its surroundings. An excess charge of 17.0 is sprayed onto this conductor. Part A: Find the charge on the inner
The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is - 2.50 X 10^-6 C/m^2. A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.50 X 10^6 m/s. How far does the proton travel before reaching its
An electron in an x-ray machine is accelerated through a potential difference of 1.00 × 104 V before it hits the target. What is the kinetic energy of the electron in electron volts?
