    Problem with angular acceleration and Moment of Inertia

    I get what you mean. It's a little bit to hard for me to describe and i don't have enough time to work on it anymore so I discard my previous post and this topic will be made unrelevant using a different title. Thanks for your potential help anyway. :)

    Impact force of 15 lb object at 67 mph and equivalent drop height

    I don't think somebody on this forum wil drop a 2x4 from a distance of 150 feet and be anywhere near:P

    Impact force of 15 lb object at 67 mph and equivalent drop height

    There are two ways to solve this problem(for finding your drop height). As you know v = g*t in this case so that is the first way to determine your height. If you want to incalculate the airresistance too you have to get some more badass equations which I do not suggest. Still, to calculate the...

    Accelerating to pass a truck in 3.0 seconds

    The best way would be to define your relative speed first which is 20 kmh. So you are already catching up with him. The distance to travel would be 28.0 m just like you said. 20 kmh = 5.55 m/s. Because you are already driving at a certain speed and you are accelerating you have to combine some...

    Impact force of 15 lb object at 67 mph and equivalent drop height

    I think that is what he wants to know. I remember reading in a physics book once that there are situations where you can say the force is equal to the mass times the velocity.

    Problem with angular acceleration and Moment of Inertia

    There is nothing to answer anymore. I have no time left for the project to use the data.
