Two 1.8 kg masses are 1.2 m apart (center to center) on a frictionless table. Each has +10 μC of charge.

a.) What is the magnitude of the electric force on one of the masses?

b.) What is the initial acceleration of the mass if it is released and allowed to move?

Two ice skaters, with masses of 50.0 kg and 65.0 kg , are at the center of a 30.0 m -diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 10.0 s , how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge?

Two masses, 4.0 kg and 6.0 kg, are connected by a "massless" rope over a "frictionless" pulley as pictured in the diagram. The ramp is inclined at 30.0 degrees and the coefficient of kinetic friction on the ramp is 0.18. a) determine acceleration of the system once it begins to slide b) determine tension in the rope.

A spring of negligible mass is compressed between two masses on a frictionless table with sloping ramps at each end. (Note: the masses are not attached to the spring in any way, and so will fly apart after release.) The masses are released simultaneously. The mass M1 is greater than that of M2. Select the appropriate symbol for each statement: G (Greater than), L (Less than), or E (Equal to). (If the first two are 'greater than,' and the last...

A 2.90-kg box is sliding along a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 1.8 m/s when it encounters a spring. (a) Determine the force constant of the spring, if the box compresses the spring 5.30 cm before coming to rest. (b) Determine the initial speed the box would need in order to compress the spring by 1.50 cm.

Two blocks of masses m and 3m are placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A light spring is attached to the more massive block, and the blocks are pushed together with the spring between them as shown in the figure below. A cord initially holding the blocks together is burned; after that happens, the block of mass 3m moves to the right with a speed of v with arrow3m = 1.70 m/s. (a) What is the velocity of the block...

A mass m = 17 kg rests on a frictionless table and accelerated by a spring...

A mass m = 17 kg rests on a frictionless table and accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 4916 N/m. The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.47. The mass leaves the spring at a speed v = 3.2 m/s. 1) How much work is done by the spring as it accelerates the mass? 2) How far was the spring stretched from its unstreched...

A mass m = 16 kg rests on a frictionless table and accelerated by a spring with spring constant k = 4739 N/m. The floor is frictionless except for a rough patch. For this rough path, the coefficient of friction is μk = 0.45. The mass leaves the spring at a speed v = 2.9 m/s. 1)How much work is done by the spring as it accelerates the mass? 2)How far was the spring stretched from its unstreched length? 3)The...

Two masses, m and 2m are start from opposite edges of a frictionless hemispherical bowl of radius R at the same time, and with zero initial speed. (Gravitational acceleration is g) (a) (4 Pts.) Where will they collide? (Explain your reason) (b) (6 Pts.) If they collide elastically head on, how high would 2m rise from the bottom of the bowl after the collision? (c) (10 Pts.) Now assume that the two masses are left from two points that are...

. Two masses travel toward each other across a horizontal, frictionless surface. They collide, resulting in 100 Joules of kinetic energy being lost. Below is a list of the known quantities. Mass#1 = 5.00 kg and has an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s to the right and a final velocity of 3.00 m/s to the right. Mass#2 = unknown and has an initial velocity of 4.00 m/s to the left and a final velocity that is unknown. What is the...
