A block of mass 5kg is placed on the end of a meter rule on the end of a table. Calculate the moment that is produced by the block.

1.Moment=Force x Distance2.Convert mass into weight (x9.81)3.Times the weight by the distance from the pivot point.4.If done correctly the answer should be 49.06NKg (Don't forget units).

What is an (electrostatically) induced charge?


A Car of mass 1000kg applies a constant 200N breaking force over a distance of 30m and comes to a complete stop. How fast was the car going the instant the brakes were engaged.


A car driver has to make an emergency stop. The braking distance depends on the speed of the car. For the same braking force, what happens to the braking distance if the speed doubles?


An apple is suspended a string and a spring in parallel. When the string is cut, the apple falls, and the spring stretches and contracts repeatedly as the apple bounces. Describe the energy conversions that occur during this process.
