Bob (m = 60kg) is wearing a sticky suit. Just as he reaches his desired speed of 6m/s, he reaches the edge of ice (assume the ice is frictionless) and collides with a large crate (m = 250kg). Bob and the crate stick together and slide along level ground (uk = 0.60). a) How far do Bob and the large crate slide before coming to rest? b) How elastic was the collision? c) How much thermal energy has been generated during the slide?

What is the magnitude of the larger of the two resistances : When a 32.0-V emf device is placed across two resistors in series, a current of 11.0 A is flowing in each of the resistors. When the same emf device is placed across the same two resistors in parallel, the current through the emf device is 56.0 A. Wh..

What is the resistance of the platinum wire : Two wires are identical, except that one is silver (resistivity = 1.59×10-8 W·m) and the other is platinum (resistivity = 1.06×10-7 W·m). The silver wire has resistance of 1.56 mW. What is the resistance of the platinum wire?

What is the minimum pulling force that the clown must exert : The drawing shows a circus clown who weighs 725 N. The coefficient of static friction between the clown's feet and the ground is 0.51. He pulls vertically downward on a rope that passes around three pulleys and is tied around his feet. What is the mi..

A baseball is thrown with an inital velocity : A baseball is thrown with an inital velocity of 20 m/s along the horizontal axis and 15 m/s along the vertixal axis. The ball soon reaches the highest point, what is the speed at that point? (ignore air friction) I know the answer is 20 m/s, just nee..

Calculate the bulk modulus of the liquid : In a liquid with a density of 1500 kg/m^3 , longitudinal waves with a frequency of 420 hz are found to have a wavelength of 8.50m . Calculate the bulk modulus of the liquid. 2) A metal bar with a length of 1.60 m has a density of 6200 kg/m^3. Long..

A uniform marble rolls down a symmetric bowl : A uniform marble rolls down a symmetric bowl, starting from rest at the top of the left side. The top of each side is a distance { h} above the bottom of the bowl.

When a single high-resistance bulb is connected : When a single high-resistance (long) bulb is connected to a 1.5 volt battery, the current through the battery is about 80 milliampere. If you add another high-resistance (long) bulb in parallel, the battery current of course increases to 160 milliamp..
