A force F is exerted on a 5 kg block to move it across a rough surface, as shown above. The magnitude of the force is initially 5 N, and the block moves at a constant velocity. While the block is moving, the force is instantaneously increased to 12 N. How much kinetic energy does the block now gain as it moves a distance of 2 m?

The inclined plane in the figure above has two sections of equal length and different roughness. The dashed line shows where section 1 ends and section 2 begins. A block of mass M is placed at different locations on the incline. The coefficients of kinetic and static friction between the block and each section are shown in the table below. Coefficient of Friction Section 1 Section 2 Static Kinetic If the block is sliding up section 2, what is the magnitude of the force of friction that is exerted on the block by the incline?

Two identical blocks are connected to the opposite ends of the compressed spring. The blocks initially slide together on a frictionless surface with velocity v to the right. The spring is then released by remote control. At some later instant, the left block is moving at v/2 to the left, and the other block is moving to the right. What is the speed of the center of mass of the system at that instant?

Cart 1 Cart 2 Mass 5kg 1kg Average Force 15 N 15 N Change in Momentum Average Acceleration The data in the table above were recorded during an experiment in which two carts on a frictionless one-dimensional track collide head-on. What are the values of the magnitudes of the change in momentum ∆p2 of cart 2 and the magnitude of its average acceleration a2 during the collision?

Draw the following situation carefully. Place charge 1, a +2.00 μC charge, at -0.500 m along the x axis. Place charge 2, a -2.00 μC charge at 0.500 m along the x axis. Place charge 3, a +2.00 μC charge at 0.500 m along the y axis. Calculate the magnitude of electrical force on charge 3 due to the others.
