A 20.0-g object is placed against the free end of a spring (with spring constant k equal to 25.0 N/m) that is compressed 10.0 cm. Once released, the object slides 1.25 m across the tabletop and eventually lands 0.61 m from the edge of the table on the floor, as shown in the figure. Calculate the coefficient of friction between the table and the object. The sliding distance includes the compression of the spring and the tabletop is 1.00 m above the floor level.

An electric fan is turned off, and its angular velocity decreases uniformly from 460 rev/min to 210 rev/min in a time interval of length 4.15 s . a)Find the angular acceleration in rev/s2. b)Find the number of revolutions made by the motor in the time interval of length 4.15 s . c)How many more seconds are required for the fan to come to rest if the angular acceleration remains constant at the value calculated in part A?
An airplane propeller is 1.83 m in length (from tip to tip) with mass 128 kg and is rotating at 2800 rpm (rev/min) about an axis through its center. You can model the propeller as a slender rod.
a)What is its rotational kinetic energy?
b)Suppose that, due to weight constraints, you had to reduce the propeller's mass to 75.0% of its original mass, but you still needed to keep the same size and kinetic energy. What would its angular speed have to be, in rpm?

On a trip, you get stuck in slow traffic and have to drive 90.0 km at 30.0 km/hr. Then the traffic clears up, and you're able to drive another 90.0 km at 60.0 km/hr.
a) Calculate your overall average speed for this 180.0 km trip. Check: it's not 45.0 km/hr! See the next question as well. Use the definition of average speed in physics.
b) Prove that if you'd driven 180. km at 60.0 km/hr for the second leg, your overall average speed would have been 45.0 km/hr.
c) In the original description of the trip, why was your overall average speed lower than 45.0 km/hr, the mathematical average of 30.0 km/hr and 60.0 km/hr?
d) Determine the speed at which you'd have to have driven the second 90.0 km so that your overall average speed would have been 45.0 km/hr.
e) What are the largest and smallest possible average velocities for this trip, as originally described? What further information would allow you to determine where in this range your actual average velocity was? Explain in practical terms.

A car is parked on a cliff overlooking the ocean on an incline that makes an angle of 25.0° below the horizontal. The negligent driver leaves the car in neutral, and the emergency brakes are defective. The car rolls from rest down the incline with a constant acceleration of 3.97 m/s2 for a distance of 55.0 m to the edge of the cliff, which is 40.0 m above the ocean. (a) Find the car's position relative to the base of the cliff when the car lands in the ocean. m (b) Find the length of time the car is in the air. s

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00m contains water to a depth of 0.900m . A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0190m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of5.00�103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity.
A. Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? in m/s
B. What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air?
C. How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? in min
D. What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?
