    Momentum of cannon ball homework

    A cannon shoots a shell straight up. It reaches its maximum height, 875 feet, and splits into two pieces, one weighing 3 lb and the other 5 lb. The two pieces are observed to strike the ground simultaneously. The 5 lb piece hits the ground 1,659 feet away from the explosion (measured along the x...

    How far does the block travel after being released?

    A block of mass 0.08 kg is pushed against a spring with spring constant k=31 N/m. The srping is compressed 0.15 meters from its natural length. The block is released and it slides along a surface with coefficient of frition 0.45. How far does the block travel from the point at which is is...

    Calculating Velocity of a Block Shot from a Spring Gun

    A block, mass 0.75 kg, is "shot" from a spring gun from a table. The table has a height 1.04 m and is frictionless. If the spring has k=28 N/m and is originally compressed 0.23 m, how fast will the block be goign when it hits the ground? (1/2)*kx^2 = (1/2)mv^2 ? I got 4.3 m/s but the...

    Chemistry: Gas Laws - Pressure in Bottle of Air & Liquid Helium

    Liquid helium at 4.2 K has a density of 0.147 g/mL. Suppose that a 1.00-L metal bottle that contains air at 118K and 1.0 atm pressure is sealed off. If we inject 120.0 mL of liquid helium and allow the entire system to warm to room temperature (25 °C), what is the pressure inside the bottle?

    Calculating Time for Train to Stop Moving Up Inclined Mine

    An engine is used to pull a train of 2 cars out of a mine. The floor of themine slopes upward at an angle of 30 degrees. Each car has a mass of 10^4 kg and travels without friction. The engine can exert a max force of 1.5 * 10^5 N if the engineer trttles back so that the force exerted by the...

    Application of Newton's Laws of motion

    A block of mass 20kg is pushed against a vertical surface at an angle of 30 degrees as shown. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is 0.2. What is the minimum magitude of P to hold the block still? I got 271.5 when I tried but the answer is 202.2

    How Fast Should a Rock Be Thrown to Hit a Runner at 93 Yards?

    the vertical height is not given. unless we use zero then we get 24.5

    How Fast Should a Rock Be Thrown to Hit a Runner at 93 Yards?

    how do you get the vertical component of velcocity. you get the horizontal component of velocity with what you have - 93/5 = 18.6 yrds/sec
