There are (one can say) three coequal theories of motion for a single particle: Newton's second law, stating that the total force on the particle causes its acceleration; the work-kinetic energy theorem, stating that the total work on the particle causes its change in kinetic energy; and the impulse-momentum theorem, stating that the total impulse on the particle causes its change in momentum. In this problem, you compare predictions of the three theories in one particular case. A 3.00-kg object has velocity 7.00ĵ m/s. Then, a constant net force 12.0i N acts on the object for 5.00 s. (a) Calculate the object's final velocity, using the impulse-momentum theorem. (b) Calculate its accelera- tion from a = (v,- v,)/At. (c) Calculate its acceleration from a = EF/m. (d) Find the object's vector displacement from Ar = vt + at?. (e) Find the work done on the object from W= F ·AF. (f) Find the final kinetic energy from mv,? = mv,• v,. (g) Find the final kinetic energy from z mv? + W. (h) State the result of comparing the answers to parts (b) and (c), and the answers to parts (f) and (g).

Mechanic Physics: Please make sure this is right In the figure, a ball of mass m = 56 g is shot with speed vi = 23 m/s (in the negative direction of an x axis) into the barrel of a spring gun of mass M = 263 ginitially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. Assume that the increase in thermal energy due to friction between the ball and the barrel is negligible. (a) What is the speed of the spring gun after the ball stops in the barrel? (b)What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is stored in the spring?
Block A (with mass 10 kg) slides along a frictionless floor with a speed of 0.75 m/s and collides with Block B (with mass 12 kg) which was at rest and is attached to a spring with spring constant 24 N/m. The blocks stick together after the collision; what is the maximum compression of the spring?
Two balls of mass m and M are attached by strings of length L. The two balls are initially at rest at an angle θ, and are then released. The balls undergo a totally inelastic collision at the bottom of their swings. Assume that m = 1.7kg, M = 2.8kg, L = 0.80m and θ = 67o.a) Calculate the speed of the balls immediately after the totally inelastic collision.b) To what maximum angle do the conjoined balls rise after the collision?
The ballistic pendulum is a device to measure the speed of a bullet using conservation of energy and momentum. A 20 g bullet is fired horizontally into a 1.1 kg wood block hanging from a 1.2-m-long string. The bullet embeds itself into the block, and the block then swings out to an angle of 35°. A. How high does the block of wood go relative to its initial height when its hanging straight down? B. What is the increase in gravitational potential energy of the wood block at its maximum height? C. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed of the block just after the bullet strikes it. D. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the bullet right before it strikes the block.
Just a little something on momentum and kinetic energy. As a reminder, momentum is a vector and: p = mv K = 1/2 mv2 = 1/2 pv = p2/2m In terms of the dot product: v2 = v⋅v, p2 = p⋅p, and pv = p⋅v. Unlike speed vs. velocity, but like all other vectors, momentum may refer to the magnitude of the momentum vector. Now, answers the following questions: 1) A 7-kg particle goes 96 m/s. Calculate its momentum in kg*m/s. (This requires an exact answer.) 2) A 7-kg particle's momentum is (392, 61) kg*m/s. Calculate its kinetic energy. 3) A pebble and a grapefruit have the same momentum. Which has the greater kinetic energy?
When some cars are advertised, they quote a "stopping distance" from some speed to zero. The mass of the car and this value of "some speed" give a measure of initial motion, but we aren't necessarily told the mass. Using the stopping distance, one can directly calculate what physical quantity provided by the brakes? A impulse B chemical potential energy C power D kinetic energy E force F velocity G work H acceleration I mass

You push a 175kg box from rest to the right across a rooftop. It takes you 5 seconds to push the car. You push with an applied force of 250 N and it experiences a coefficient of friction of 0.1 What acceleration acts on the box? What is the impulse of the box? How far did you push it during that time? What is the work done by the non-conservative forces as the box moves across the rooftop? How fast is the box moving at the end of that time?
two balls, m1= 2 kg and m2= 5 kg, can slide without friction on a rod. a spring with a rigidity coefficient of k= 1000 N/m was connected to the ball with a mass of m2. since v1= 14 m/s and v2= 0; a) find the maximum compression that will occur in the spring when the balls collide. b) find the final speed of the balls after the collision. m, m2 k V1
