A block of mass m=2kg is initially at rest on a frictionless surface and is pushed to produce a constant acceleration of 1.0 m/s2 for 5.0 seconds. The push stops and the table becomes rough with a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to 0.2. How far does the block travel across the rough portion of the table?

The astronauts on the space shuttle flights experienced an acceleration of 29 m/s2 (about 3 "g's") during lift-off. what upward force must the astronaut's seat apply to the astronaut in order to cause this acceleration? assume the astronaut's mass is 70 kg, and compute this force when the acceleration is near the earth's surface so their weight equals latex: mg m g .

Ateacher gives students four liquids commonly found in the kitchen - vinegar, apple juice, dish detergent, and milk - and ph indicator strips, which measure acidity. the teacher asks the students to put the liquids in order from most acidic to most basic. what type of investigation could the students conduct to determine the correct order for the liquids?

A980-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg suv stopped at a red light. the bumpers lock, the brakes are locked, and the two cars skid forward 2.6m before stopping. the police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. what was that speed?
