A mass of 5 kg slides across a frictionless table with an initial velocity of 10 m/s. The wind starts to blow in the direction the mass is moving causing it to accelerate at a constant rate. After 2 seconds,
the mass is moving at a velocity of 15 m/s. What is the acceleration of the mass?

Atransverse wave is traveling on a string stretched along the horizontal x-axis. the equation for the vertical displacement y of the string is given by y = (1.8 x 10-3)cos[π(13x - 60t)], where all quantities are in si units. what is the maximum speed of a particle of the string

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?
