actually seems like I made a rounding error, the correct answer was 1.165 m/s^2 but it wouldn't take 1.1 when I entered it, and for part b, 14.6 N came out to be correct with 1.2 m/s^2 as the acceleration.

After solving for a in the final equation I got 1.1 m/s^2

Homework Statement A block with mass m = 5.00 kg slides down a surface inclined 36.9 degrees to the horizontal (the figure View Figure ). The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.23. A string attached to the block is wrapped around a flywheel on a fixed axis at O. The flywheel has mass 28.0...

Thank you that worked perfectly! Came out to be .112M as the mass of the asteroid. Thanks again, I'm not a big fan of this angular moment stuff :(

Homework Statement Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the Earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. Now The question asks: What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the Earth's mass {\rm M}...
