20-kg block on a horizontal surface is attached to a light spring (force constant = 8.0 kN/m). The block is pulled 10 cm to the right from its equilibrium position and released from rest. When the block has moved 2.0 cm toward its equilibrium position, its kinetic energy is 13 J. How much work is done by the frictional force on the block as it moves the 2.0 cm?

Agas is contained in a vertical, frictionless piston–cylinder device. the piston has a mass of 3.2 kg and a cross-sectional area of 35 cm2. a compressed spring above the piston exerts a force of 190 n on the piston. if the atmospheric pressure is 95 kpa, determine the pressure inside the cylinder.

Mass (kg) force (n) 5 25 10 50 15 75 20 100 a student was trying to find the relationship between mass and force. he placed four different masses on a table and pulled them using a spring scale. the table shows the different masses used in the experiment and the force required to pull each mass. the student concluded that more force was required to pull heavier objects. what comment would you make regarding his conclusion? a) no clear relation can be observed between mass and force from the data. b) there is a direct proportion between the mass and force listed in the table. c) gravity should have been taken into account while performing the experiment. d) there is an inverse proportion between the mass and force listed in the table.

Suppose you plot the distance traveled by an object at various times and you discover that the graph is not a straight line. what does this indicate about the object's acceleration?
