A 50.0-g hard-boiled egg moves on the end of a spring with force constant k = 25.0 N/m. Its initial displacement is 0.300 m. A damping force

Fx=−bvx

acts on the egg, and the amplitude of the motion decreases to 0.100 m in 5.00 s. Calculate the magnitude of the damping constant b.

How would you place two electrons on a sphere of radius r so that the electrostatic potential energy is minimized. how would you place three electrons to solve the same problem.

Suppose that a comet that was seen in 563 a.d. by chinese astronomers was spotted again in year 1951. assume the time between observations is the period of the comet and take its eccentricity as 0.986. what are (a) the semimajor axis of the comet's orbit and (b) its greatest distance from the sun?

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.
