- A proton (mass m = 1.67 x 10-27 kg) is being accelerated along a straight line at 3.60 x 1013 m/s² in a machine. If the proton has an initial speed of 8.30 × 104 m/s and travels 4.90 cm, what then is (a) its speed and (b) the increase in its kinetic energy?

If the proton has an initial speed of 9.00 × 106 m/s and travels 5.60 cm, what then is (a) its speed and (b) the increase in its kinetic energy?arrow_forward
- The force on a particle of mass 2.0 kg varies with position according to F(x) = −3.0x2 (x in meters, F(x) in newtons). The particle's speed at x = 3.0 m is 5.5 m/s. Find the particle's speed (in m/s) at x = 2.0 m, using the origin as the reference point. Find the particle's speed (in m/s) at = 2.0 m, using x = 5.0 mas the reference point.arrow_forwardAn object starts from rest at the origin and moves along the x axis subject to the force shown in the figure below. If the mass of the object is 37.0 kg, determine the speed of the object at the following positions. Each unit along the position axis is 2.00 m and each unit along the force axis is 3.00 N.

The coefficient of friction is 0.28 between the table and m1. The system is released from rest. After m2 falls 1.5 m,1.5 m, what is the speed of m2?arrow_forward

What is the result of A⋅A + B⋅B + C⋅C?arrow_forwardTarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree. He grabs the end of a vine with length 20 m that makes an angle of 45° with the vertical, steps off his tree limb, and swings down and then up to Jane’s open arms. When he arrives, his vine makes an angle of 30° with the vertical. Determine whether he gives her a tender embrace or knocks her off her limb by calculating Tarzan’s speed just before he reaches Jane. Ignore air resistance and the mass of the vine.arrow_forward
- Two masses are pressed against opposite ends of a spring, with one mass at either end of the spring. The spring is has a spring constant of 181 N/m and the two 0.200 kg masses are identical to each other. Pressing the masses against the ends of the spring compresses the spring 21.5 cm from its normal length. If both masses rest on a frictionless, horizontal table, find the speed of each mass in SI units when it has moved free of the spring on the table.arrow_forward(a) At a certain instant, a particle-like object is acted on by a force ?→=(5.60N)?̂ −(2.90N)?̂+(7.10N)?̂F→=(5.60N)î-(2.90N)ĵ+(7.10N)k̂ while the object's velocity is ?→=−(2.70m/s)?̂ +(4.60m/s)?̂v→=-(2.70m/s)î+(4.60m/s)k̂.

(Give your answer without a unit vector.)arrow_forwardA man pushing a crate of mass m = 92.0 kg at a speed of v = 0.860 m/s encounters a rough horizontal surface of length ℓ = 0.65 m as in the figure below. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and rough surface is 0.360 and he exerts a constant horizontal force of 279 N on the crate. A man pushes a crate labeled m, which moves with a velocity vector v to the right, on a horizontal surface.
