A force of 300 N is used to stretch a horizontal spring with a 0.5 kg block attached to it by 0.5 m. The block is released from rest and undergoes simple harmonic motion. Calculate spring constant, mechanical force applied and velocity when x=15 cm.

An insulated 40 ft^3 rigid tank contains air at 50 psia and 120°f. a valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 25 psia. the air temperature during this process is kept constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. determine the electrical work done during this process.

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?

Astudent pushes a 40-n block across the floor for a distance of 10 m. how much work was applied to move the block? a. 4 j b. 40 j c. 400 j d. 4000 j
