A 5kg object starts off at ? = 0 travelling at ?x= +10m/s . During its motion, it is subject to a position-dependent force given by:
?net(?) = +480 + 2 ≤ ? ≤ 4,
−120? + 4 ≤ ? ≤ 6,
0 ??ℎ??????
When the object arrives at ? = +4? (parts a-b):
a. Calculate the work done on the object.
b. Calculate the speed of the object.
When the object arrives at ? = +8? (parts c-e):
c. Calculate the total net work done on the object up until this point.
d. Calculate the speed of the object
e. Suppose the net force between +4 ≤ ? ≤ 6 is entirely due to a non-conservative force (and all other forces are
conservative), how much total mechanical energy is lost to the environment during the whole trip?

A spherical raindrop falling through mist builds up mass. The mass accumlates at a rate proportional to its cross-sectional area and invers;ey proportional to its velocity, that is, dm/dt=k?r2/v, where r is the radius of the raindrop at a given time and v is the downard speed at the same time.Assuming the density P of the rain drop is a constant. Ignoring the resistance do to the fog and the air, calculate the instaneous acceleration of the raindrop as a function of v,r,P,g and k.

As a city planner, you receive complaints from local residents about the safety of nearby roads and streets. One complaint concerns a stop sign at the corner of Pine Street and 1st Street. Residents complain that the speed limit in the area (89 km/h) is too high to allow vehicles to stop in time. Under normal conditions this is not a problem, but when fog rolls in visibility can reduce to only 47 meters. Since fog is a common occurrence in this region, you decide to investigate. The state highway department states that the effective coefficient of friction between a rolling wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.842 and 0.941, whereas the effective coefficient of friction between a skidding (locked) wheel and asphalt ranges between 0.550 and 0.754. Vehicles of all types travel on the road, from small VW bugs with a mass of 595 kg to large trucks with mass 4095 kg. Considering that some drivers will brake properly when slowing down and others will skid to stop, calculate the miminim and maximum braking distance needed to ensure that all vehicles traveling at the posted speed limit can stop before reaching the intersection. Minimu =? Maximum=?Given that the goal is to allow all vehicles to come safely to a stop before reaching the intersection, calculate the maximum desired speed limit. = kmh?.

| Distance (m) | 0.3 | 0.6 | 0.9 | 1.2 | 1.5 |
| Time (s) | 3.27 | 7.34 | 11.66 | 16.46 | 21.29 |
Now you will need to use your data to calculate velocities and accelerations. Recall that we have discussed average velocity as vavg = Δx/Δt as well as vavg = (vi + vf)/2. We also discussed average acceleration as aavg = Δv/Δt. Using these equations, calculate the instantaneous velocity of your cart at each distance/time data point and the average acceleration between each pair of distance/time data points. When you have completed your calculations, organize your results into a table with four columns: time, position, velocity, and average acceleration.

A student in our class is confused about the motion of pulses on a long taut spring and has scored zeros on many of the homework problems. Pick two ideas that you think are critical for understanding this topic. State them clearly and describe how you would help your fellow student make sense of these ideas. Note: This is an essay question. Your answer will be judged not solely on its correctness, but for its depth, coherence, and clarity.
