The criterion for deciding whether evidence is strong enough to uphold an arrest is known as ______.

A partisan election is one in which candidates openly affiliated with political parties are presented to voters for selection.

The death penalty has been found to be racially discriminatory by the U.S. Supreme Court.

A brief interference with a person’s freedom of movement with a duration that can be measured in minutes is called a(n) ______.

A public defender is a private sector attorney who works on a contract (for fee) basis.

Warrantless searches often take place at the entry points into the United States, including border crossings, ports, and airports.

The good faith exception can only be used in federal cases due to United States v. Leon (1984).

As shown in the figure, a 4.0-kg block is moving at 5.0 m/s along a horizontal frictionless surface toward an ideal spring (spring constant=100 N/m) that is attached to a wall. After the block collides with the spring, what is the compression X of the spring? 

As shown in the figure, a 10.0 m long bar is attached by a frictionless hinge to a wall and held horizontal by a light rope that makes an angle θ = 49° with the bar. The bar is uniform and has a mass of 7 kg. What distance x from the hinge should a 10.0 kg mass be suspended for the tension in the rope to be 180 N?

An object with a mass of 10 kg is initially at rest at the top of a frictionless inclined plane that rises at 80° above the horizontal. At the top, the object is initially 3.0 m high from the floor, as shown in the figure. When the object is released from this position, it eventually stops at a distance d from the bottom of the inclined plane along a horizontal surface, as shown. The coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the horizontal surface and the object is 0.6 and 0.2, respectively, and air resistance is negligible. Find the distance d.
