A rifle is a long gun whose barrel has been grooved or "rifled" on the inside with spiral channels. (For comparison, a long gun with a smooth bore is called a musket.) Bullets fired from a rifled barrel spin. This gives them greater stability in flight and thus greater accuracy when fired. Since 1964, the standard infantry weapon in the US Army has been the .22 caliber M16 rifle. Due to rifling, a bullet fired from an M16 rotates two and a half times on its journey from the breech to the muzzle. Given a barrel length of 510 mm and a muzzle velocity of 950 m/s, determine the final angular velocity.

Alan pushes on a 10 Kg block on a frictionless surface in the "x" direction. The block starts from rest at x = 0, and Alan pushes with a force given by Fx = 6x Newtons, where x is in meters. From this formula, one can see that Alan's force increases linearly with the distance that the block is from the origin. He keeps applying this force for 2 meters, i.e. till x = 2. What is the speed of the block at x = 2 meters?

A block is free to slide without friction on a horizontal table. William exerts a constant force of 5 Newtons on the block. The direction of the force is 37◦ with respect to the horizontal. William keeps applying the force on the block as it moves a distance of 10 meters on the table top. How much work was done by the William's force?
