You apply a force on an electron to push it towards a negatively charged plate. Are you doing positive or negative work on the electron. 

B) is it gaining or losing potential energy

Positive work

Gaining potential

A 1.30 kg box is pushed 2.5 meters alonga. rough surface with an applied force of 150 N. The total work done on the box is 325 J. Calculate the magnitude of the fricitonal force opposing the boxes motion.

20 N

Where is your mass greatest, The Moon or Mars?

It is the same

A ball is launched upwards from the ground at a velocity of 11.2 ms-1 and is caught by a very tall man with a height of 2.1 meters. 


Calculate how long after launch the ball is caught.

2.08 s

300

A wave has a frequency of 3.4 Hz and a velocity of 1.2 ms-1


Calculate its wavelength.

v = frequency*wavelength

wavelength = v/frequency = 1.2/3.4 = 0.35 m

What town/region did Mr Tobar grow up in?

Murwillumbah or Tweed Valley

You are travelling at the speed of light in a spaceship, and you throw a ball forward at 1/2 the speed of light (you're very strong). What is the speed of the ball compared to someone standing by and watching?

The speed of light (nothing can travel faster)

Also, the question is broken because you with mass can't reach that speed and would not perceive time at the speed of light either

A 3kg ball is dropped from a height of 10m. Halfway down the fall its velocity is 7m/s. Determine the force of air resistance on the ball.

ME of ball at top =294J

Half way = 147J this should give a velocity of 9.89m/s. 

Actual velocity is 7m/s which gives 73.5J of KE.

Change in energy = 147J-73.5J =73.5 J of work done by air 

W=FS

73.5/5 = 14.7N

Who experiences a greater force, person A who weighs 70kg moving 30m/s to the left, or a truck weighing 1000kg moving at 4m/s to the right? Justify mathematically.

Neither, they both experience 0N
