A 69.4 kg base runner begins his slide into second base while moving at a speed of 4.24 m/s. The coecient of friction between his clothes and Earth is 0.619. He slides so that his speed is zero just as he reaches the base. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . What is the magnitude of the mechanical energy lost due to friction acting on the runner? Answer in units of J 006 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points How far does he slide? Answer in units of m 007 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points A 3.62 g bullet moving at 705 m/s penetrates a tree to a depth of 5.23 cm . Use energy considerations to nd the average frictional force that stops the bullet. Answer in units of N 008 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points Assuming that the frictional force is constant, how much time elapsed between the moment the bullet entered the tree and the moment it stopped Answer in units of s 009 10.0 points

What is the force exerted on the particle when x = 3 a (point A, the lowest point on the curve)? Answer in units of N 004 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points If the particle has a mass of 9.5 kg and is released from rest at x = 5 a, what is the particles velocity when it reaches x = a? Answer in units of m/s 005 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points

The two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley with a negligible mass. The 4 kg block lies on a rough horizontal surface with a constant coecient of kinetic friction 0.2. This block is connected to a spring with spring constant 2 N/m. The second block has a mass of 6 kg. The system is released from rest when the spring is unstretched, and the 6 kg block falls a distance h before it reaches the lowest point. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Note: When the 6 kg block is at the lowest point, its velocity is zero.

A 1800 g mass starts from rest and slides a distance down a frictionless 22 incline, where it contacts an unstressed 60 cm long spring of negligible mass as shown in the gure. The mass slides an additional 20 cm as it is brought momentarily to rest by compressing the spring of force constant 22 N/cm. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Note: The spring lies along the surface of the ramp (see gure). Assume: The ramp is frictionless. Now, the external force is rapidly removed so that the compressed spring can push up the mass. 0g 180 m 0 60 c = m /c 22 N 22 (a) uncompressed
