I have 2 problems I have forgot how to do.
1. An Arrow is shot at an angle of 45 degrees abouve the horizontal at 69 m/s. (a) How high will the arrow go? (b) what horizontal distance will the arrow travel.
these are the equations I know:
Dx=Vxt
(Dx: verticle distance, Vx: Verticle Velocity, t: time)
Dy=Vyt+1/2at^2
(Dy: Horizontal Distance, Vy: Horizontal Velocity, t: time, a: acceleration)
Vx=VIcosø
(Vx: Verticle Velocit, VI: I don't know what this means but it could mean initial velocity)
Vy=VIsinø
As far as this question goes... I have no clue... I think I was absent when my teacher went over this... but my exams are tomorrow and I don't have enough time time to ask him about it... please help.
2. What is the Coefficient of Friction for a 2000 kg car that skids to a stop with an acceleration of -3m/s^2
these are the equations I know for this problem... this problem isn't that hard but there doesn't seem to be enough information. I need a pushing force!
W=mg
(W:weight, M: mass, g: accel. due to gravity)
Fnet=ma
(Fnet: Net Force, a: acceleration)
Fnet=Fp+Ff
(Fp: pushing force, Ff: Frictional force)
Ff=µFn
(µ: coefficient of friction, Fn: Normal Force)
for this problem I know that the mass (2000 kg) and the acceleration (-3m/s^2) so Fnet=ma, Fnet= 2000*-3, Fnet=-6000.
I need to find Ff so I can solve for µ (Ff=µFn) because I already know Fn: W=mg, 2000*9.8, W=19600. and Fn=W when on a flat surface. so Fn=19600
to find Ff I'd use this equation: Fnet=Fp+Ff. I know Fnet=-6000 but I don't know Fp or Ff... Help
any help would be greatly apreciated!
P.S. I already know the answers (1.) 121m and 484m (2.) .306. all I need to know is how to get those answers!
Thanks
