Two people with a combined mass of 120 kg hop into an old car with worn-out shock absorbers. This causes the springs to compress by 8.30 cm. When the car hits a bump in the road, it oscillates up a
Five particles undergo damped harmonic motion. Values for the spring constant k, the damping constant b, and the mass m are given below. Which leads to the smallest rate of loss of mechanical energy
A 220-kg wooden raft floats on a lake. When a 75-kg man stands on the raft, it sinks 4.0 cm deeper into the water. When he steps off, the raft vibrates for a while. (a) What is the frequency of vib
A cosmic-ray proton in interstellar space has an energy of 17.0 MeV and executes a circular orbit having a radius equal to that of Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (7.78 1011 m). What is the magnetic
Find the power of the starlight the Earth intercepts. One light-year is the distance traveled by the light through a vacuum in one year.
A parachutist bails out and freely falls 66 m. Then the parachute opens, and thereafter she decelerates at 2.2 m/s2. She reaches the ground with a speed of 2.8 m/s. (a) How long is the parachutist
