A 2.0-kg block slides down a fixed, rough curved track. The block has a speed of 5.0 m/s after its height above a horizontal surface has decreased by 2.0 m. Assume the block starts from rest. What is the change in mechanical energy of the block caused by the force of friction during this descent

How are series and parallel circuits simililar? both have multiple paths for electrons to travel. both require resistors in their circuits. both require a switch to complete the circuit. both have at least one path for electrons to travel.

Consider a uniformly charged ring in the xy plane, centered at the origin. the ring has radius a and positive charge qdistributed evenly along its circumference. a)what is the direction of the electric field at any point on the z axis? . b)what is the magnitude of the electric field along the positive z axis? use k in your answer, where k=14πϵ0. d)the ball will oscillate along the z axis between z=d and z=−d in simple harmonic motion. what will be the angular frequency ω of these oscillations? use the approximation d≪a to simplify your calculation; that is, assume that d2+a2≈a2. express your answer in terms of given charges, dimensions, and constants

Aball thrown by ginger is moving upward through the air. diagram a shows a box with a downward arrow. diagram b shows a box with an upward arrow. diagram c shows a box with a downward and upward arrow equal in size. diagram d shows a box with a downward and upward arrow with the downward arrow larger in size. which force diagram represents the forces on the ball? you may neglect the effects of air resistance.
