A17.5 kg block is dragged over a rough, horizontal surface by a constant force of 167 n acting at an angle of 30◦ above the horizontal. the block is displaced 23.9 m, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.136. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . 17.5 kg µ = 0.136 167 n 30 ◦ if the block was originally at rest, determine its final speed. answer in units of m/s.

Red light strikes a metal surface and electrons are ejected. if violet light is now used with a 10% greater intensity, what will happen to the ejection rate (number of ejected electrons per second) and the maximum energy of the electrons? a) greater ejection rate; same maximum energyb) same ejection rate; greater maximum energyc) greater ejection rate; greater maximum energyd) same ejection rate; same maximum energye) none of the above answers are correct

Waves are used in many practical applications to support work, entertainment, and health. one example is the use of ultrasound imaging to safely track the development of a growing fetus. what is a specific example of a practical application of waves in medicine, entertainment, safety, or other fields? provide a brief explanation of how the properties of waves are useful to that application.

Astudent throws a water balloon with speed v0 from a height h = 1.76 m at an angle θ = 21° above the horizontal toward a target on the ground. the target is located a horizontal distance d = 9.5 m from the student’s feet. assume that the balloon moves without air resistance. use a cartesian coordinate system with the origin at the balloon's initial position. (a) what is the position vector, rtarge t, that originates from the balloon's original position and terminates at the target? put this in terms of h and d, and represent it as a vector using i and j. (b) in terms of the variables in the problem, determine the time, t, after the launch it takes the balloon to reach the target. your answer should not include h. (c) create an expression for the balloon's vertical position as a function of time, y(t), in terms of t, vo, g, and θ. (d) determine the magnitude of the balloon's initial velocity, v0, in meters per second, by eliminating t from the previous two expressions.
