Consider a mass m constrained to move on the x axis and subject to a net force F = kx where k is a positive constant. The mass is released from rest at x = x0 at time t = 0. Use the result (2.85) in Problem 2.12 to find the mass's speed as a function of x; that is, dx I dt = g(x) for some function g(

Suppose that electrical attraction, rather than gravity, were responsible for holding the Moon in orbit around the Earth. If equal and opposite charges Q were placed on the Earth and the Moon, what should be the value of Q to maintain the present orbit? Use data given on the inside front cover of thi

Ages of Gamblers The mean age of a sample of 25 people who were playing the slot machines is 48.7 years, and the standard deviation is 6.8 years. The mean age of a sample of 35 people who were playing roulette is 55.3 with a standard deviation of 3.2 years. Can it be concluded at a _ 0.05 that the me

SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Female silkworm moths (Bombyx mori) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. A male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. The sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in t
