1. Suppose a 10 N force is applied to the side of a 4.0 kg block that is sitting on a table what would be the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction in order for the block to remain motionless?

Aball tossed vertically upward from the ground next to a building passes the bottom of a window 1.8 s after being tossed and passes the top of the window 0.20 s later. the window is 2.0 m high from top to bottom. what was the ball's initial velocity? the unit vector j^ is directed upward. how far is the bottom of the window from the launch position? how high does the ball rise above the launch position?

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

The electric field between square plates of a parallel-plate capacitor has magnitude e. the potential across the plates is maintained with constant voltage by a battery as they are pulled apart to twice their original separation, which is small compared to the dimensions of the plates. the magnitude of the electric field between the plates is now equal to a)e b)e/4 c)e/2 d)4e e)2e
