A0.16-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to an ideal spring whose force constant (spring constant) is 360 n/m. the block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0.000 m to a position x = +0.080 m and is released from rest. the block then executes simple harmonic motion along the horizontal x-axis. when the position is x = -0.037 m, what is the acceleration of the block? 8

An automobile of mass 2000 kg moving at 30 m/s is braked suddenly with a constant braking force of 10000 n. how far does the car travel before stopping?

Ahorizontal wire is tied to supports at each end and vibrates in its second-overtone standing wave. the tension in the wire is 5.00 n, and the node-to-node distance in the standing wave is 6.28 cm. (a) what is the length of the wire? (b) a point at an anti- node of the standing wave on the wire travels from its maximum upward displacement to its maximum downward displacement in 8.40 ms. what is the wire's mass?

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps but also due to the expansion of water as average ocean temperatures rise. to get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length (in m) of a column of water 1.45 km high for a temperature increase of 1.12°c. assume the column is not free to expand sideways. as a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to
