It is sometimes claimed that friction forces always slow an object down, but this is not true. If you place a box of mass on a moving horizontal conveyor belt, the friction force of the belt acting on the bottom of the box speeds up the box. At first there is some slipping, until the speed of the belt, which is . The coefficient of kinetic friction between box and belt is . (a) How much time does it take for the box to reach this final speed? (b) What is the distance (relative to the floor) that the box moves before reaching the final speed of?
The diameter of a copper atom is approximately. The mass of one mole of copper is 64g. Assume that the atoms are arranged in a simple cubic array. Remember to convert to SI units. (a) What is the mass of one copper atom, in kg? (b) How many copper atoms are there in a cubical block of copper that is 4.6 cmon each side? (c) What is the mass of the cubical block of copper, in kg?
An object of mass is attached by two stretched springs (stiffness and relaxed length ) to rigid walls, as shown in figure 4.60. The springs are initially stretched by an amount . When the object is displaced to the right and released, it oscillates horizontally. Starting from the momentum principle, find a function of the displacement of the object and the time describes the oscillatory motion.
(a) What is the period of the motion?
(b) If were shorter (so the springs are initially stretched more), would the period be larger, smaller, or the same?

A hanging iron wire with diameter 0.08cm is initially 2.5m long. When a 52 kg is hung from it, the wire stretches an amount 1.27cm. A mole of iron has a mass of 56g, and its density is . (a) What is the length of an interatomic bond in iron (diameter of one atom)? (b) Find the approximate value of the effective spring stiffness of one interatomic bond in iron.
A chain of length L, and mass M is suspended vertically by one end with the bottom end just above a table. The chain is released and falls, and the links do not rebound off the table, but they spread out so that the top link falls very nearly the full distance L. Just before the instant when the entire chain has fallen onto the table, how much force does the table exert on the chain? Assume that the chain links have negligible interaction with each other as the chain drops, and make the approximation that there is very large number of links. Hint: Consider the instantaneous rate of change momentum of the chain as the last link hits the table.
