New Questions Sorry to bother, but I have some more questions. Thanks for the tips and hints for my last questions. Problem: A large rectangular raft with a density of 650 kg/m^3, a surface area of 8.2m^2 at the top, and a volume of 1.8m^3 is floating on lake water with a density of...

I have some questions (or checks) on some problems from a fatty packet our teacher decided to give us for the AP test. If I've already given a possible solution, see if I did it right. Thanks! Problem 1: A simple pendulum consists of a mass 1.8kg attached to a string of length 2.3m...

Well, for part (e) it would actually have to be Fscale=m(g-a) because the person's mass reading can't be -98kg. It would be 52kg.

I'm confused... the book wants it in kg, a scalar quantity instead of a force. EDIT: I feel so dumb to not get that...

The textbook given to us used 9.8m/s^2 (nine-point-eight-meters-per-second-square) for their gravity, and our instructor uses the system of the textbook. As for the problem, the textbook wants me to give the reading in kg... I didn't understand how to do this either. As for part (d), I factored...

Hi, this problem gave me some trouble and I'm not sure if I did this correctly. The problem reads: A 75-kg person steps onto an elevator with a scale. What does the scale read when the elevator (a) is at rest, (b) climbing at 3.0m/s, (c) falling at 3.0m/s, (d) accelerating upward at 3.0m/s^2...

is 435 correct then?

-_-, still confused, sorry... acceleration is 2.48m/s^2-- what do i do with that number?

Errrr... I was looking for the force that each box exerts on each other, not the acceleration... But thanks anyways.

Hi there, I'm having some trouble with this problem right now. We are learning about Newton's First/Second/Third Laws. With a friction coefficient of 0.15, what is the force that the crates exert on each other if the crate 1 is 75kg and crate 2 is 110kg with a push of 730N? Can anyone...

We've only covered constant acceleration formulas. They are as follow: a= (V-Vo)/t V^2=Vo^2+2ad d=Vot+1/2at^2 d=1/2(Vo+V)t Average Velocity= Vo+V/2 Keep in mind I just started AP Phyz, skipped Chem and Phyz.

Hi, our teacher requires us to do problem solving questions, which means a full one page report about the situation. I got stuck on this part and would like some advise. P: A person driving her car at 50km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the...

Okay, based on your advice I got: 405,836.1 minutes. Is it alright if you check this for me?

Hi, I just started my school year, and we're currently on Measurements. I need help with this one problem that my teacher assigned. The biggest bottle ever made was 193 gallons (730,505cc). If the bottle were filled with water of a density of 1000 kg/m^3 at the leisurely rate of 1.8 g/min...
