    Solving Trajectory Problem: Castle Wall Cannonball

    How should I solve for t? I revised my Step 2 above and came up with t=11s or t=7.3s --> both answers put my x(f) value way over what the answer is supposed to be.

    Friction/Dynamic Equilibrium Help

    Coeffiecient of friction is not given on the problem, however I did find a steel-on-steel f(s) in a table in our text --> where f(s) = 0.80

    Friction/Dynamic Equilibrium Help

    A pickup truck with a steel bed is carrying a steel file cabinet. If the truck's speed is 15 m/s, what is the shortest distance in which it can stop without the file cabinet sliding? *---*--*-* v(i)=15m/s v(f)=0 Need to find x(f) Friction: f(s) should be F(net) = 0? Not sure where...
