A 320 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 1.8 N/cm (see the figure). The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 10 cm before momentarily stopping. While the spring is being compressed, what work is done on the block by (a) the gravitational force on it and (b) the spring force? (c) What is the speed of the block just before it hits the spring? (Assume that friction is negligible.) (d) If the speed at impact is doubled, what is the maximum compression of the spring?

The density of a 10 kg cube of silver is 10.5 g/cm3. What would the density of a 5 kg cube of silver be?
I thought the answer would be 5.25 g/cm^3 because m1/m2=p1/p2 so 10kg/5kg=10.5 g/cm^3/ x and you solve for x. But this is coming up as wrong and I don't know why, do i need to convert the kg to g???

The drawing shows an edge-on view of two planar surfaces that intersect and are mutually perpendicular. Surface 1 has an area of 1.5 m2, while surface 2 has an area of 3.4 m2. The electric field E in the drawing is uniform and has a magnitude of 190 N/C. It is directed towards the two perpendicular surfaces, making an angle 35o with the bottom surface. Find the electric flux through (a) surface 1 and (b) surface 2.

A weight is attached to a spring suspended from a beam. At time t = 0, it is pulled down to a point 7 cm above the ground and released. After that, it bounces up and down between its minimum height of 7 cm and a maximum height of 25 cm, and its height h(t) is a sinusoidal function of time t. It first reaches a maximum height 1.4 seconds after starting.
(b) What are the mean, amplitude, phase shift and period for this function? (Use a phase shift with an absolute value less than the period.)
(c) Give four different possible values for the phase shift. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
(d) Write down a formula for the function h(t) in standard sinusoidal form; i.e. as in the equation shown below.
h(t) = A sin (2pi/B (t-C)) + D
(e) What is the height of the weight after 4.2 seconds?

Q10. Assume that the Earth is orbiting the sun in a perfectly circular orbit. If the Earth is hit by a huge meteorite but its orbiting angular momentum is not changed (this can be the case if the hit is along the radial direction of the orbit), what would be the change in Earth’s orbit?
A. No change
B. Earth would move in a circular orbit with a larger radius
C. Earth would move in a circular orbit with a smaller radius
D. Earth’s orbit would not change, but its period is lengthened
E. Earth’s orbit would become elliptical

Three children are riding on the edge of a merry‑go‑round that has a mass of 105 kg and a radius of 1.70 m . The merry‑go‑round is spinning at 24.0 rpm. The children have masses of 22.0, 28.0, and 33.0 kg. If the 28.0 kg child moves to the center of the merry‑go‑round, what is the new angular velocity in revolutions per minute? Ignore friction, and assume that the merry‑go‑round can be treated as a solid disk and the children as point masses. final angular velocity: rpm
