Figure 7-21ashows four situations in which a horizontal force acts on the same block, which is initially at rest. The force magnitudes are . The horizontal component of the block’s velocity is shown in figure 7-21bfor the four situations. (a) Which plot in figure 7-21b best corresponds to which force in fig. 7-21a? (b) Which plot in figure 7-21c (for kinetic energy K versus time t) best corresponds to which plot in fig. 7-21b ?

An explosion at ground level leaves a crater with a diameter that is proportional to the energy of the explosion raised to the power; an explosion of 1 megaton of TNT leaves a crater with a 1 km diameter. Below Lake Huron in Michigan there appears to be an ancient impact crater with a 50 km diameter. What was the kinetic energy associated with that impact, in terms of (a) megatons of TNT (1 megaton yields ) and (b) Hiroshima bomb equivalents (13kilotons of TNT each)? (Ancient meteorite or comet impacts may have significantly altered the climate, killing off the dinosaurs and other life-forms.)
In Fig. , a horizontal force of magnitude is applied to a psychology book as the book slides a distanceup a frictionless ramp at angle . (a) During the displacement, what is the net work done on the book by , the gravitational force on the book, and the normal force on the book? (b) If the book has zero kinetic energy at the start of the displacement, what is its speed at the end of the displacement?

In Fig.7-49a , a 2.0 N force is applied to a 4.0 kg block at a downward angle as the block moves rightward through 1.0 m across a frictionless floor. Find an expression for the speed of the block at the end of that distance if the block’s initial velocity is (a) 0 and (b) 1.0 m/s to the right. (c) The situation in Fig. 7 - 49b is similar in that the block is initially moving at 1.0 m/s to the right, but now the 2.0 N force is directed downward to the left. Find an expression for the speed of the block at the end of the distance. (d) Graph all three expressions for versus downward angle for. Interpret the graphs.

A 0.30 kgladle sliding on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring whose other end is fixed. The ladle has a kinetic energy of 10 J as it passes through its equilibrium position (the point at which the spring force is zero). (a) At what rate is the spring doing work on the ladle as the ladle passes through its equilibrium position? (b) At what rate is the spring doing work on the ladle when the spring is compressed 0.10 mand the ladle is moving away from the equilibrium position?
