    MATLAB Matlab: Finding the right angle

    Hi! I have a question about an assignment. It is about throwing a rock which should land 20 meters away from the "shooter". My job is to find the angle "a" which makes the rock land 20 meters away. The motion is given by a multivariable, second order differential equation which I have already...

    Frequency of damped mass-spring system

    [Mentor's note: Thread title changed to reflect question content] I really need some help with this one: 1. Homework Statement An unhappy rodent of mass 0.307kg , moving on the end of a spring with force constant 2.48N/m , is acted on by a damping force Fx=−b⋅vx. Part A If the constant b has...

    How Do You Calculate Spring Constant in a Rotating System with a Broken Thread?

    Homework Statement (Sorry for my bad English) A slippery (frictionless), light horizontal bar rotates about a vertical axis with a constant angular velocity ω. A cylinder with mass m, is initially attatched to a thread with length a and to a spring, which from the beginning has its "natural"...

    Air Track Elastic Collision: Solving for Final Velocities

    Homework Statement A 0.159kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.870m/s . It has a head-on collision with a 0.310kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 2.15m/s . Suppose the collision is elastic. a) Find the magnitude of the...
