How do I solve this...A block of mass m is projected across a horizontal surface with an initial speed v?
It slides until it stops due to the friction force between the block and the surface. The same block is now projected across the horizontal surface with an initial speed v/2. When the block has come to rest, how does the distance from the projection point compare to that in the first case?
Short answer: should be one-fourth of the distance.
Long answer:
You can solve with with the equation
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
We know that the final velocity is zero
s = -u^2/2a
When we sub in u = 1/2 u, it becomes a quarter of the original displacement. So, it will travel a quarter of the distance.

If Chris Bromham took off on his Yamaha and jumped a horizontal distance of 74.0 m across a row of cars and assuming that he started and landed at the same level and was airborne for 1.3 s, what was his initial (angled) velocity as he left the ground?
To find Chris Bromham's initial velocity when he left the ground, you can use the horizontal distance he traveled, the time he was in the air, and the acceleration due to gravity. The equation to use is: horizontal distance = horizontal velocity * time in the air. By rearranging the equation to solve for the horizontal velocity, you can find Chris Bromham's initial velocity when he left the ground.
A skateboard sliding across a horizontal floor is example projectile motion?
Actually, a skateboard sliding on a horizontal floor is an example of translational motion due to the forces acting on it. Projectile motion, on the other hand, involves a body moving in a curved path under the influence of gravity after being given an initial velocity.
What is the tightness across the surface of water is called?
Surface tension is the tightness across the surface of water caused by the attraction between water molecules.
A book sliding across a horizontal table slows down to a stop . The books kinetic energy was converted in what form?
The book's kinetic energy was converted into heat and sound energy as it slid across the table and came to a stop. Friction between the book and the table surface caused this conversion of energy.
How will the velocity of the book change as it moves across a surface with no friction?
The velocity of the book will remain constant as it moves across a surface with no friction.
Is vertical across?
No, vertical is up and down and horizontal is across. Think about how a HORIZON goes ACROSS the ocean...so HORIZONtal is across.
What is vertical and what is horizontal?
Vertical is up and horizontal is across
What way is horizontal?
Horizontal is left to right across like this line:__________________

What is the Difference between vertical hood and horizontal hood?
In the horizontal hood the air is blown across the work surface toward the operator (air flow from back to front) and in the vertical hood the air is blown down onto the work surface (air flow from top to bottom).
What is the difference between horizontal forms and vertical forms of balance sheet?
vertical is strait up and down and horizontal is across (strait across)
How would you describe the horizontal flexion movements?
A flexion preformed across the horizontal plane.
Do horizontal lines go up and down?
Horizontal is across. Vertical is up and down.
What does horizontal mean in the math?
What it means is horizontal line is like the horizon it goes across
What seismic waves travel only across the surface of the earth?
Surface waves, also known as Love waves and Rayleigh waves, travel only across the surface of the Earth. They have horizontal and vertical motion that can cause significant damage during an earthquake. These waves are slower than body waves but have larger amplitudes.
What is another word for across?
a word is HORIZONTAL
What is it when the printout is across the width of the page?
Across (horizontal)=Landscape. Vertical=Portrait
