Suppose one speaker is driven at 578 Hz and the other at 561 Hz. What is the beat frequency in Hz?
If an object on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it oscillates. Suppose it is displaced 0.130 from its equilibrium position and released with
A 60 ball of clay is thrown horizontally at 40 toward a 1.3 block sitting at rest on a frictionless hi surface. The clayts and sticks to the block. What is the speed of the block and clay right aft
An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1128 Hz overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.6 m/s. After being passed the cyclist hears a frequency of 1012 Hz. How fast is the ambulan
What is the speed of the skier at the bottom of the slope. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the skier and the horizontal surface?
A 3 kg block accelerates at a rate twice that of a 6 kg block. Is the net force acting on the 3 kg block twice as large as that acting on the 6 kg block?
Thus, to eliminate the difficulties with motion sickness, designers must choose the distance between the astronaut's feet and the axis about which the space station rotates to be greater than a cert
The sun is more massive than the moon, but the sun is farther from the earth. Which one exerts a greater gravitational force on a person standing on the earth?
A wire 0.59 m long carrying a current of 10.0 A is at right angles to a uniform magnetic field. The force on the wire is 0.10 N. What is the strength of the magnetic field?
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, direct observations showed that a glacier in Switzerland flowed forward in the downhill direction while its snout (terminus) was retreating higher up
A grocery cart with a mass of 17 kg is pushed at constant speed along an aisle by a force F = 12 N. The applied force acts at a 20° angle to the horizontal. Find the work done by each of the fo
How high will a 1.35 kg rock go if thrown straight up by someone who does 85.0 J of work on it? Neglect air resistance.
In preparation for shooting a ball (mass = 0.05 kg) in a pinball machine, a spring (k = 550 N/m) is compressed by 0.06 m horizontally relative to its unstrained length, with the ball initially at re

What apparent free-fall acceleration is experienced by the managers remaining on the rim assuming that the average mass for each inhabitant is 65.0kg
The flywheel must deliver an average of 2.40 MJ of energy for each kilometer of distance. Find the smallest value of R for which the car can travel 300 km without the flywheel needing to be recharge
A uniform disk turns at 3.3 around a frictionless spindle. A nonrotating rod, of the same mass as the disk and length equal to the disk's diameter, is dropped onto the freely spinning disk. They th
Find the Maxwell equations satisfied by E0 and H0 in such a medium, the velocity of light in such a medium, and what combination of E0, k and H0 form a right-handed set.
A 1200 kg car carrying four 88 kg people travels over a "washboard" dirt road with corrugations 4.3 m apart. The car bounces with maximum amplitude when its speed is 13 km/h. When the car stops, an
