http://www.imagebucket.net/images/bigslowy/physicsproblem.jpg What is the strength of the electrostatic force on the top charge? Answer in units of N. I tried breaking it down into components of Fabx + Fbcx ect. but I still don't get a correct answer. Is there a different approach I...

Nevermind, he just used different word, thanks for your help

I'm still stuck on both of them, our teacher didn't talk about finding centripetal force with uniform circular motion, can you give another hint?

This question was a two parter A car of mass 422 kg travels around a flat, circular race track of radius 178 m. The co- efficient of static friction between the wheels and the track is 0.135. The acceleration of gravity is 9:8 m=s2 : What is the maximum speed v that the car can go...

These problems are really giving me fits, I would really appreciate some help. A 12200 kg sailboat experiences an eastward force of 27400 N due to tide pushing its hull while the wind pushes the sails with a force of 56200 N directed toward the northwest (45± westward of North or 45±...
