An object of mass m is traveling on a horizontal surface. there is a coefficient of kinetic friction µ between the object and the surface. the object has speed v when it reaches x=0 and encounters a spring. the object compresses the spring, stops, and then recoils and travels in the opposite direction. when the object reaches x=0 on its return trip, it stops.
1. find k, the spring constant.
2. express k in terms of µ, m, g, and v.

Achemistry student needs of 40ml diethylamine for an experiment. by consulting the crc handbook of chemistry and physics, the student discovers that the density of diethylamine is 0.7 . calculate the mass of diethylamine the student should weigh out. round your answer to significant digits.

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.

You are given a vector a = 125i and an unknown vector b that is perpendicular to a. the cross-product of these two vectors is a × b = 98k. what is the y-component of vector b?
