Particle A has half the mass and eight times the kinetic energy of particle B. What is the speed ratio vA/vB?

Q. 20

Page 228

FIGURE is the force-versus-position graph for a particle moving along the x-axis. Determine the work done on the particle during each of the three intervals 0–1m, 1–2m, and 2–3m.

Q. 22

Page 228

A 2.0kg particle moving along the x-axis experiences the force shown in FIGURE. The particle’s velocity is 4.0m/s at x=0m. What is its velocity at x=2m and x=4m?

Q. 23

Page 228

A particle moving on the x-axis experiences a force given by Fx=qx2 , where q is a constant. How much work is done on the particle as it moves from x=0 to x=d?

Q. 24

Page 228

A 150 g particle at x=0 is moving at 2.00 m/s in the +x-direction. As it moves, it experiences a force given by Fx=(0.250N)sin(x/2.00m). What is the particle’s speed when it reaches x=3.14 m?

Q. 25

Page 228

A horizontal spring with spring constant 750 N/m is attached to a wall. An athlete presses against the free end of the spring, compressing it 5.0 cm. How hard is the athlete pushing?

Q. 26

Page 228

A 35-cm-long vertical spring has one end fixed on the floor. Placing a 2.2 kg physics textbook on the spring compresses it to a length of 29 cm. What is the spring constant?
