One way to decrease the inertia of an object is to a. decrease its acceleration. b. remove some of its mass. c. remove the force acting on it. d. change the volume of space it occupies.

The boy of mass 30 kg is at r1= 2 meters from the fulcrum. of the girl is 45 kg, at what r2 must she sit so that they are balanced ?

An important dimensionless parameter concerned with very high-speed flow is the mach number, defined as v/c, where v is the speed of the object such as an airplane or projectile, and c is the speed of sound in the fluid surrounding the object. for a projectile traveling at 1170 mph through air at 50 ˚f and standard atmospheric pressure, what is the value of the mach number?

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.
