Homework Statement A person who weighs 620 N stands at x = 5.00 m, right on the end of a long horizontal diving board that weighs 350 N. The diving board is held up by two supports, one at its left end at x = 0, and one at the point x = 2.00 m. (a) What is the force exerted on the support at x...

Homework Statement The blades of a kitchen blender rotate counterclockwise at 2.2×10^4 rpm (revolutions per minute) at top speed. It takes the blender 2.1 seconds to reach this top speed after being turned on. What is the average angular acceleration of the blades? Homework Equations...

Homework Statement A car drives over a hill that is shaped as a circular arc with radius 65.0 m. The car has a constant speed of 14.0 m/s and a mass of 423 kg. What is the magnitude of (a) the centripetal force on the car at the top of the hill and (b) the normal force exerted on the car by...

Homework Statement A steel ball with mass 0.347 kg falls onto a hard floor and bounces. Its speed just before hitting the floor is 23.6 m/s and its speed just after bouncing is 12.7 m/s. (a) What is the magnitude of the impulse of the ball? Homework Equations J=pf-pi The Attempt at...

Homework Statement There are two slides at the park between which you are deciding. Both start at a height of 6 m. One is short and steep while the other is long and shallow. If both slides are frictionless, which one should you choose if you want to be moving as fast as possible at the...

Homework Statement The force of gravity acts on a 1250 kg probe in outer space. It accelerates the probe from a speed of 225 m/s to 227 m/s over a distance of 6750 m. How much work does gravity do on the probe? Iwas wondering how to approach gravity in this problem. Should I assume gravity...

well it looks like my brilliant self put 9.18 instead of 9.81 in my calculator and subsequently got the question wrong. Man I hate online homework so much!

there is only one wire with the picture connected at the two ends hanging down.

Homework Statement A wire of negligible mass is used to hang a 2.15 kg picture. The ends of the wire are attached to the top 2 corners of the picture. Each end of the wire forms an angle of 15.0 degrees from the horizontal. What is the tension in the wire? Homework Equations...
