Choose a problem (and solutions) described in the text. Explain what the problem is and why it matters, using examples, facts, and details from the text. If possible, describe any solutions proposed in the text.

Amachine, modeled as a simple spring-mass system, oscillates in simple harmonic motion. its acceleration is measured to have an amplitude of 5,000 mm/s with a fre- quency of 10 hz. compute the maximum displacement the machine undergoes during this oscillation.

A10.0 kg cart and a 15kg cart are locked together with a compressed spring between them. they are then released so that the spring pushes the two carts apart. the 10.0 kg cart is moving at 4.5 m/s afterward. how fast is the 15kg cart moving? 3.0 m/s 2.0 m/s 4.5 m/s 5.0 m/s

The experiment was repeated many years later but the gases were mixed in a different type of container. a white solid was obtained which was xenon fluoride. predict whether you think 1) krypton and 2) radon will react with fluorine. explain reasons for your predictions
