    Working with Newton's law of gravitation

    Mars has a mass of about 6.4 x 10^23 kg, and its moon Phobos has a mass of about 9.6 x 10^15 kg. If the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two bodies is 4.6 x 10^15 N, how far apart are Mars and Phobos? Please show the work, answer and the formulas you used. Thanks!

    Work/kinetic friction on a system moving at constant speed.

    "A 276 kg piano slides 4.02 m down a 30.2° incline and is kept from accelerating by a man who is pushing back on it parallel to the incline, as seen in the figure (attached in a Word file). The effective coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.400. Calculate the work done by the man on the piano." See attached file for full pro

    Stone is released from rest at top of a vertical cliff

    Q1. A stone of mass 80 grams is released from rest at the top of a vertical cliff. After falling for 3 seconds, it reaches the ground and penetrates 9 cm into the ground. Calculate: 1. the height of the cliff 2. the average force resisting the penetration (assume gravitational acceleration g=10m/sec2)

    Potential energy and conservative forces: Determining distance

    1. A 1.9-kg block slides down a frictionless ramp. The top of the ramp is 1.5 m above the ground; the bottom of the ramp is 0.25 m above the ground. The block leaves the ramp moving horizontally, and lands a horizontal distance d away. Find the distance d. 2. Suppose the ramp is not frictionless. Find the distance d for the c

    Speed of block, maximum compression of spring, block rebounds

    On an incline a 2.00 kg block is released 4.00m from a long spring with a force constant k= 60.0 N/m that is attached at the bottom of the incline. The incline makes the angle of 53 degrees with the horizontal, and the coefficients of friction between the block and the incline are u static = .40 and uk= .20. a) what is the s

    Work done by a constant force: Lifting and carrying a pumpkin from a field

    I think I have both answers, but I really need (b) explained. You go to a pumpkin patch to select your Halloween pumpkin. You lift the 3.2kg pumpkin to a height of 1.2 m, then carry it 50.0 m on level ground to the checkout stand. (a) Calculate the work you do on the pumpkin as you lift it from the ground, and (b) How m

    Working with pulleys - rope sliding down a pulley

    A thick rope with a length of 5m is draped over a pulley, such that the right side y=3m is dangling free and on the left side L-y=2m is dangling free. The rope has a mass of 10kg. Since the longer side is more massive than the shorter side, the rope begins falling downward, with the shorter end going up towards the pulley. As

    By integration, find the work done between given limits.

    See attached file. A perfectly elastic rubber framework is stretched by a force applied to its end. This force as a function of the x coordinate of the end is: (1) F = 52.8 x + 38.4 x^2 PART a. By integration, find the work done by this applied force from position x1=.5 m to x2= 1 m. PART b. With the end at position
