1. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.42 for a cardboard box sliding across your lab table and the box weighs 5.6 N, what is the force of kinetic friction?

In physics the desire of an object to keep doing what it is doing is termed?

Aparticle of mass m is projected with an initial velocity v0 in a direction making an angle α with the horizontal level ground as shown in the figure. the motion of the particle occurs under a uniform gravitational field g pointing downward. (a) write down the lagrangian of the system by using the cartesian coordinates (x, y). (b) is there any cyclic coordinate(s). if so, interpret it (them) physically. (c) find the euler-lagrange equations. find at least one constant of motion. (d) solve the differential equation in part (c) and obtain x and y coordinates of the projectile as a function of time. (e) construct the hamiltonian of the system, h, and write down the hamilton’s equations (canonical equations) of motion.

Scout feels ill one day before school. her mother puts a thermometer in her mouth and the temperature begins to climb to 100°f. what is happening between the cooler thermometer and scout's body? a) scout's body is applying a force to the particles in the thermometer. b) kinetic energy is being transferred from her mouth to the thermometer. c) potential energy is being lost by the thermometer and gained by scout's body. d) the potential energy stored in foods is converted to mechanical energy to raise the mercury in the thermometer.
