A 40.5 kg box initially at rest is pushed 4.40 m along a rough, horizontal floor with a constant applied horizontal force of 125 N. If the coefficient of friction between box and floor is 0.300, find the following. (d) the work done by the gravitational force J(e) the change in kinetic energy of the box J(f) the final speed of the box m/s
The graph above shows the potential energy of an object that moves without the influence of other forces. [Note: the vertical axis is in units of fJ or "femto-joules" and the horizontal axis is in units of nm or nanometers. These are reasonable units for atomic physics, but you do not need to know the size of a femto-joule to solve this problem.] The object is released from rest at the point x = 2.0 nm. The object then starts to move to the right and/or to the left. What is the maximum value of the position of the object on the x axis after it is released? [Answer in units of nanometers.]
The Super Sled travels with an initial kinetic energy of 3369 J horizontally and to the right along a frictionless flat surface, initially at a height of zero (initial gravitational potential energy = 0). The driver briefly engages the rocket over a distance (Ax) of 2.000 m, pushing the sled with a force of 400.0 N over that distance. The rocket is then turned off. The sled then goes up an inclined surface with a rough surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction on the incline is uk. At the top of the incline, the sled reaches a height h = 1.500 m above the ground where the surface becomes flat and frictionless again. The sled (including the rocket and driver) has a total mass of 87.00 kg. (Notes: assume that g = 9.810 m/s² , and that the mass of fuel used by the rocket is negligible. Do not use scientific notation).
