I wonder why did I get two different answers for m2 using two different approaches? The correct answer is m1=3kg, m2=7kg. So pleases if someone can take a look. Also can someone suggest how am I supposed to find the force that dynamometer is showing? I was thinking that it equals (m1+m2)*g...

Apparently body A has greater acceleration and I don't get why. Can someone please explain. It's stated to take g=10/s^2. Both bodies have same mass. Nothing about rope elasticity is added, and nothing about the pulley. So I assumed they are both massless, and no friction between them. Also...

If we have an observer that is accelerating in one direction (perhaps a rocket ship accelerating towards the sun), would its reference frame be identical to an observer at the same point that is not accelerating, but has the same instantaneous velocity? In other words, is an accelerating...

So this isn't actually a homework question, it's a question that was on the test I just took and I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've tried solving it three or four different ways, double checking everything, and I keep getting ##15 + 3\sqrt {15}## or ~26.6, which was not one of the...

After 3,32 seconds, vt should have varied by 0,695*3,32. I have done a previous exercise where you only needed to calculate the radial acceleration in this scenario. There, I took the vt after the given time, squared it and then divided with the radius. I remember clearing that one, so in this...

Synopsis, The insurance company wants to repair this 3-year-old motorcycle with 3400 miles on the odo father taking this hit. The motorcycle was modified with an aftermarket "engine guard," which was made out of powder-coated steel tubing and bolted directly to the frame which is made out of...

I tried splitting the forces up into F1 and F2 making Newtons second law equation into F1+F2=ma. Then I added over the the first force given. multiply the mass to the acceleration terms to get F2= (m*ai + m*aj) - F1

I'm not sure where to start, when I tired using integration of the initial equation to get pos(t)=-.65t^2 i + .13t^2 j + 14ti +13tj but after separating each component, i and j, and setting j equal to zero I got 0 or -100 seconds which doesn't seem like a reasonable answer.

The variation with time t of the acceleration a of an object is shown What is the change in velocity of the object from ##t=0## to ##t=6##? A. ##6ms^{-1}## B. ##8ms^{-1}## C. ##10ms^{-1}## D. ##14ms^{-1}## So apparently the answer is B, which I am having trouble reconciling. Using methods...

Distance= (Intial Velocity + Final Velocity / 2) Time 0.75 = (0+75 / 2) Time 0.75 = (37.5) Time 0.02 seconds = Time Acceleration = (Final Velocity + Intial Velocity) / Time Acceleration = (75 - 0) / 0.02 Acceleration = 3750 m/s2 Idk if this is correct can someone help pls.

My only guess is that this is due to air resistance. Below an example of the predicted graph:

Hi! I need help with this problem. m1-2-3-4 and R are given. There is no slip in the system. I have to give F1-2-3-4 in respect of the masses and R. Here is what I managed to m1 is easy: m1*a = m1*g - T(tension of the rope) m2: m2*a = T - (?) <-- I have a problem with this. F1 and F3 is the...

If we have two objects A and B appear on the opposite sides of the equator of a planet like Earth with the same mass as Earth. Object A is a neutron star with the mass of the sun and object B is a iron cube with the mass of one gram. Will A or B hit the Earth at the same time or will one hit...

okay, so I’ve had this random thought. We have all been told that objects fall to the ground at the same speed, even if they have different masses. While it’s true that any two objects, regardless of mass, will accelerate towards Earth at the same speed, that doesn’t mean the Earth is...

I stumbled upon these numbers on my test recently. It is raelly basic stuff, but i want to know, what would actually happen if such thing happened in the real world. We basically have a ball made of 20Kg of "person". And it it accelerates at 1.8*10^5 m/s² for 1/30 of a second reaching 6000 m/s...

ince f=ma, and we derive whatever the force it takes to accelerate a specific mass at a specific acceleration as a unit of force. I understand this ratio of actual force will always be the same in the entire universe but is there a reason why for example 1kg accelerated a 1m/s^2=1 N which is...

Hello, I just did a practice physics problem that asked if an object with constant acceleration can change direction twice. The answer was no. What if you had an object attached to a string spinning at constant velocity. Is the tangential acceleration constant?

Ive been looking at the simple physics problems for 2D motion. For example, a ball starts from rest and is thrown at 5m/s at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the ground on earth. Most of the problems assume that the acceleration in the x-direction is 0. Doesnt there need to be an initial...

Why we take initial velocity of dropped object downwards as 0 and 25m/s when the object is thrown 25m/s upwards ? What is then initial velocity cause when t=0 both object dropping and moving upwards had 0 velocity - in other words when object came to motion at both places it had some velocity?

Here is a made up function of force changing with respect to displacement: F(x) = 2000 - 100x The force is applied onto an object, pushing it horizontally. Ignore friction and air resistance. The mass is constant. I'm trying to find Velocity with respect to displacement. Attempt 1: Knowing F =...

So I understand the relationship between mass x acceleration=force but all that relationship tells me is "Whatever the force is to accelerate a given mass at a specific unit of acceleration = units of force, and we just accept whatever the unit of force is. example 1/ms² x 1 kg mass = 1 N...
