The 2-kg block is subjected to a force having a constant direction and a magnitude f = (300/(1 + s)) n, where s is in meters. when s = 4 m, the block is moving to the left with a speed of 8 m/s. determine its speed(m/s) when s = 12 m. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ground is μ k = 0.25.

Abaseball has a mass of 0.145 kg and approaches a bat at 40.0 m/s. after it is hit, the ball leaves the bat at 50.0 m/s directly back. find the impulse of the bat on the ball. 7.25 kg*m/s 13.1 kg*m/s 5.80 kg*m/s 1.45 kg*m/s

The percent efficiency of a machine can never be 100% (or greater), because in the real world some energy is always converted into a. heat b. work c. input force d. output force

Under conditions for which the same room temperature is maintained by a heating or cooling system, it is not uncommon for a person to feel chilled in the winter but comfortable in the summer. provide a plausible explanation for this situation (with supporting calculations) by considering a room whose air temperature is maintained at 20â°c throughout the year, while the walls of the room are nominally at 27â°c and 14â°c in the summer and winter, respectively. the exposed surface of a person in the room may be assumed to be at a temperature of 32â°c throughout the year and to have an emissivity of 0.90. the coefficient associated with heat transfer by natural convection between the person and the room air is approximately 2 w/m2 â‹…â‹… k. what is the ratio of the thermal resistance due to convection to the thermal resistance due to radiation in the summer? what is the ratio of thermal resistances in the winter
