    Banked Curve Impossible Problem

    unfortunately I still have to solve it so I don't get a zero. Thanks for the help anyways.

    Banked Curve Impossible Problem

    Yea all those equations don't make no sense if you don't have the angle. Which they forgot to tell me in the question

    Banked Curve Impossible Problem

    Homework Statement A curve of radius 67 m is banked for a design speed of 95 km/h. If the coefficient of static friction is 0.30 (wet pavement), at what range of speeds can a car safely handle the curve? Homework Equations I drew this freebody diagram. The Attempt at a...

    Centripetal Acceleration of rope and bucket

    Homework Statement A bucket of mass 2.00 kg is whirled in a vertical circle of radius 1.10 m. At the lowest point of its motion the tension in the rope supporting the bucket is 25.0 N. (a) Find the speed of the bucket. (b) How fast must the bucket move at the top of the circle so that the...

    How Does Thermal Energy Compare to Ionization Energy in a Flame?

    well obviously R x T is wayyyyyyyyy less than 4(R)(T) That is why

    How Does Thermal Energy Compare to Ionization Energy in a Flame?

    Homework Statement The energy of particles in a flame at a temperature T might be described by a Boltzmann distribution. Temperature can be converted to energy (and thereby velocity) using the gas constant R = 8.3145 J mol-1 K-1. Let us approximate thermal energy in the flame by RT (squiggly...

    Stoichiometry: Calculating Reactant Mass from Product Mass

    I just wrote a test and will try to remember the question and how I answered it to the best of my ability.It was basically asking the find the mass of reactants from the mass of one of the products formed. My first step was calculate the moles of the product with known mass. Once I had the...

    How Is Tension Calculated When Lifting a Bowling Ball?

    Huzzah! I have figured it out! First one must solve for the velocity in the y direction by doing v=d/t which is 1.2m/1.5s and this equals to 0.8m/s. Now since you have the velocity you can now solve for the acceleration. We use this equation: y = Yi + Yvit + 1/2at^2 Solving for...

    How Is Tension Calculated When Lifting a Bowling Ball?

    I can find the Vy by doing v=d/t, then using the equation y = yi + yvit + 1/2at^2 to find the acceleration. I find the y velocity to be 0.8 m/s and the acceleration to be 1.06667 m/s^2. After this I have no idea waht to do

    How Is Tension Calculated When Lifting a Bowling Ball?

    Homework Statement A bowling ball is suspended from a ceiling hook using a thin piece of rope. The rope is exerting a 75 N force upward on the ball. Suppose that the rope is unhooked from the ceiling and pulled upward so that the bowling ball rises 1.2 meters in 1.5 seconds. What will be...
