Amass weighing 4 pounds is attached to a spring whose constant is 2 lb/ft. the medium offers a damping force that is numerically equal to the instantaneous velocity. the mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 6 ft/s. determine the time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position. (use g = 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.)

Which of the following best describes internal energy? a. the difference between the kinetic and potential energies of the particles in a system b. the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles in a system c. the sum of the kinetic and thermal energies of the particles in a system d. the difference between the kinetic and thermal energies of the particles in a system

The starship enterprise is caught in a time warp and spock is forced to use the primitive techniques of the 20th century to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown mineral. the 125-g sample was heated to 96.3°c and placed into a calorimeter containing 85.9 g of water at 20.0°c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter was 14.2 j/k. the final temperature in the calorimeter was 24.5°c. what is the specific heat capacity (in j/g°c) of the mineral? enter to 4 decimal places.

How is the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle calculated?
