A 3.0-kg mass sliding on a frictionless surface has a velocity of 5.0 m/s east when it undergoes a one-dimensional inelastic collision with a 2.0-kg mass that has an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s west. After the collision the 3.0-kg mass has a velocity of 1.0 m/s east. How much kinetic energy does the two-mass system lose during the collision?
a. 22 J
b. 24 J
c. 26 J
d. 20 J
e. 28 J

In a demonstration, a 4.00 cm2 square coil with 10,000 turns enters a larger square region with a uniform 1.50-T magnetic field at a speed of 100 m/s. The plane of the coil is perpendicular to the field lines. If the breakdown voltage of air is 4000 V/cm on that day, the largest gap you can have between the two wires connected to the ends of the coil and still get a spark is

To lift the 5000-N block, the man finds that he must pull 10 m of rope through his hands for every 1 m the block rises. Neglecting the weights of the pulleys and friction, how hard must the man pull on the rope to raise the block?
1) 5 N 2) 50 N 3) 500 N 4) 5000 N which is in accord with 5) Newton's second law. 6) that impulse equals change in momentum. 7) (F × d) input = (F × d) output. 8) mechanical energy can be stored as potential energy.
