A particle of mass m is constrained to lie along a frictionless, horizontal plane subject to a force given by F (x) = −kx + kx^3/A^2 where k and A are positive constants. The particle is projected from x = 0 to the right with initial kinetic energy T0. Find the turning points of the motion and the condition the total energy of the particle must satisfy if its motion is to exhibit turning points.

Mass M moves to the right with speed =v along a frictionless horizontal surface and crashes into an equal mass M initially at rest. Upon colliding, the two masses stick together and move with speed V to the right. Notice that v and V denote different speeds. After the collision the magnitude of the momentum of the system is: (pick all correct answers) 2 M V M V 0 2 M v M v

A uniform board of length L=.75m is sliding along a smooth, frictionless horizontal plane. The board slides across a boundary with a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of kinetic friection between the board and another second surface is μk= .31. The board has an initial speed of v=2.5m/s. How far past the boundary is the left end of the board when the board comes to rest? The answer was .654m, but I'm not getting any answer close to it, please...

The diagram below shows a block of mass m = 2.00 kg on a frictionless horizontal surface, as seen from above. Three forces of magnitudes F1 = 4.00 N, F 2 = 6.00 N, and F 3 = 8.00 N are applied to the block, initially at rest on the surface, at angles shown on the diagram. In this problem, you will determine the resultant (total) force vector from the combination of the three individual force vectors. All angles...

A mass m = 17 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor, with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.06, for a distance d = 5.1 m. Then the mass is continued to be pulled up a frictionless incline that makes an angle θ = 28° with the horizontal. The entire time the massless rope used to pull the block is pulled parallel to the incline at an angle of θ = 28° (thus on the incline it is...
