A stationary 1.57-kg potato is struck by a stick, delivering a horizontal force of F(t) = at — bt² where t is the time in milliseconds from the instant the stick first contacts the potato. Find the potato's speed as it loses contact with the stick at t = 3.56 ms if a = 1,222 N/(ms) and b = 22 N/(ms)². (Hint: Be very careful with units.) V = m/s

Assume that the force of a bow on an arrow behaves like the spring force. In aiming the arrow, an archer pulls the bow back 50 cm and holds it in position with a force of 150 N. If the mass of the arrow is 50 g and the “spring” is massless, what is the speed of the arrow immediately after it leaves the bow?

"Two bodies of masses 5 and 7 kilograms are initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. A light spring is compressed between the bodies, which are held together by a thin thread. After the spring is released by burning through the thread, the 5 kilogram body has a speed of 0.2 m/s. The speed of the 7 kilogram body is (in m/s)"

One of the waste products of a nuclear reactor is plutonium-239 (239Pu). This nucleus is radioactive and decays by splitting into a helium-4 nucleus and a uranium-235 nucleus (4He+ 235U), the latter of which is also radioactive and will itself decay some time later. The energy emitted in the plutonium decay is 8.40×10 –13J and is entirely converted to kinetic energy of the helium and uranium nuclei. The mass of the helium nucleus is 6.68×10 –27kg, while that of the uranium is 3.92×10 –25kg (note that the ratio of the masses is 4 to 235). (a) Calculate the velocities of the two nuclei, assuming the plutonium nucleus is originally at rest. (b) How much kinetic energy does each nucleus carry away? Note that the data given here are accurate to three digits only.
Keep the track tilted at 13∘∘ with the horizontal. Put the friction block on the track surface at the top of the track. Let the friction block slide downwards. The length of the track is 74 cm. Starting from zero speed at the top of the track, what will be the speed of the friction block as it reaches the bottom? Write your answer in m/s. Use μμk = 0.13 and mass of the friction block = 400 grams.

A student attending an online 1301 class in the Fall20 semester decided to check what would happen with kinetic energy if she changed the momentum. She decided to conduct an experiment using a dynamics cart. The student measured the speed of the cart as she released it from inclined surfaces with different slopes. She was able to increase the momentum by a factor 17. By what factor dıd the kinetic energy change? (PAMP540F20) a) O 289 b) 04.12 c) O 34 d) O 68 e) O 17
