    Harmonic Motion of Oscillating Particle

    Homework Statement A particle moves along the x axis. It is moving initially at the position 0.280 m, moving with velocity 0.200 m/s and acceleration -0.450 m/s^2. Suppose it moves with constant acceleration for 4.10 s. (a) Find the position of the particle after this time...

    How Much Power Does a Trimmer Motor Deliver During Acceleration?

    that is true but this is the formula i derived but i hope its right I = m*[L^2/12 + (R2 + L/2)^2] then plug that into power formula P = 1/2* I * ωf^2/ Δt the issue is what should L in both parts of the I equation? I know R2 is 0.17 m / 2 to get .085 radius

    How Much Power Does a Trimmer Motor Deliver During Acceleration?

    Homework Statement The head of a grass string trimmer has 100 g of cord wound in a light, cylindrical spool with inside diameter 3.00 cm and outside diameter 18.0 cm as shown in the figure below. The cord has a linear density of 10.0 g/m. A single strand of the cord extends 16.0 cm...

    Spring Connected between 2 Masses

    yes i blame my book for it. so mathematically how would I set up the momentum to solve for both velocities?

    Spring Connected between 2 Masses

    my professor gave me 1/2kx^2 = 1/2m2v2f^2 + 1/2m1v1f^2 oh and the xo = 8 cm and the k = spring constant for the long formula in previous post

    Spring Connected between 2 Masses

    my homework has a pratice version and it said those values were zero i kinda guessed because i tried setting it up having Wext + Usi + k1i + k2i = k1f + k2f + Usf but i got a nasty equation in the end i can't solve for vf looks like this (keep in mind I just started calculus this semester so...

    Spring Connected between 2 Masses

    Homework Statement A light spring of force constant 4.00 N/m is compressed by 8.00 cm and held between a 0.250 kg block on the left and a 0.560 kg block on the right. Both blocks are at rest on a horizontal surface. The blocks are released simultaneously so that the spring tends to push them...

    Unit Conversions Grams to Watts

    I got 0.000 watts using that method but that doesn't sound right because my efficiency calculations after are barely 1% and this data should keep to where they don't get above 80% according to the professor

    Unit Conversions Grams to Watts

    Homework Statement The power available (output) is measured by the velocity at which you are moving and the thrust required to create that movement. NOTE: Conversions for proper units are provided below equation. Power Available: Pout = Tc * v where: Pout = power available (watts) Tc...
