A 2-kg mass hangs above a table on a 1-m string. The mass just clears the table. Use the idea of conservation of energy to describe how the pendulum can be used to move a 1-kg book across the table.

A500g object falls off a cliff and losers 100 j from its gravitational potential energy store. if the gravitational field strength g=9.8n/kg, how high is the cliff?

Aforce of 200 n is applied to an input piston of cross-sectional area 2 sq. cm pushing it downward 2.8 cm. how far does the output piston of cross-sectional area 12 sq. cm move upward? show all work.

Two resistors r1 and r2 may be connected either in series or parallel across an ideal battery with emf ε. we desire the rate of energy dissipation of the parallel combination to be 8.75 times that of the series combination. if r1 = 105 ω, what are the (a) smaller and (b) larger of the two values of r2 that result in that dissipation rate?
