The power in our homes and buildings cycles at a frequency of 60Hz. If someone accidentally dropped a power line into a holding tank for frogs their muscles would immediately become stiff. This is because the high frequency stimuli is causing

A1kg cart slams into a stationary 1kg cart at 2 m/s. the carts stick together and move forward at a speed of 1 m/sl. determine whether kinetic energy was conserved in the collision. use the law of conservation of energy to explain the collision

Acatapult is tested by roman legionnaires. they tabulate the results in a papyrus and 2000 years later the archaeological team reads (distances translated into modern units): range = 0.4 km; angle of launch = π/5 rad; landing height = launch height. what is the initial velocity of launch of the boulders if air resistance is negligible?

Ablock of mass m = 2.5 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 710 n/m. it is initially at rest on an inclined plane that is at an angle of θ = 23° with respect to the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is μk = 0.19. in the initial position, where the spring is compressed by a distance of d = 0.16 m, the mass is at its lowest position and the spring is compressed the maximum amount. take the initial gravitational energy of the block as zero. a) what is the block's initial mechanical energy? b) if the spring pushes the block up the incline, what distance, l, in meters will the block travel before coming to rest? the spring remains attached to both the block and the fixed wall throughout its motion.
