As a 1.0-kg object moves from point a to point b, it is acted upon by a single conservative force which does -40 j of work during this motion. at point a the speed of the particle is 6.0 m/s and the potential energy associated with the force is +50 j. what is the potential energy (in j) at point b?

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?
