To understand kinetic and static friction. a block of mass m lies on a horizontal table. the coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is μs. the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk, with μk< μs. a- suppose you want to move the block, but you want to push it with the least force possible to get it moving. with what force f must you be pushing the block just before the block begins to move? express the magnitude of f in terms of some or all the variables μs, μk, and m, as well as the acceleration due to gravity g. b- suppose you push horizontally with half the force needed to just make the block move. what is the magnitude of the friction force? express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables μs, μk, and m, as well as the acceleration due to gravity g. c- suppose you push horizontally with precisely enough force to make the block start to move, and you continue to apply the same amount of force even after it starts moving. find the acceleration a of the block after it begins to move. express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables μs, μk, and m, as well as the acceleration due to gravity g.

Aferris wheel is a vertical, circular amusement ride with radius 9 m. riders sit on seats that swivel to remain horizontal. the ferris wheel rotates at a constant rate, going around once in 9 s. consider a rider whose mass is 56 kg. at the bottom of the ride, what is the perpendicular component of the rate of change of the rider's momentum? at the bottom of the ride, what is the vector force exerted by the seat on the rider?

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?

An electron moves with a constant horizontal velocity of 3.0 × 106 m/s and no initial vertical velocity as it enters a deflector inside a tv tube. the electron strikes the screen after traveling 26 cm horizontally and 19 cm vertically upward with no horizontal acceleration. what is the constant vertical acceleration provided by the deflector? (the effects of gravity can be ignored.)

Light from two different sources are incident upon the same side of a polarizing filter. light from one source is polarized with total intensity ip, while light from the other source is unpolarized with total intensity iu. as you rotate the polarizing filter through 360 degrees, the intensity of the transmitted light on the other side varies by a factor of 9. what is the relative intensity of the initial polarized source to the unpolarized source, or ip/iu?
