    Finding the Coefficient of Friction?

    A boy pulls a sled of mass 5kg with a rope that makes an angle of 60 degrees w/ respect to the horizonal surface of the frozen pond. The boy pulls on the rope with a force of 10N and the sled moves with constant velocity. What is the coefficient of friction between the sled and the ice...

    Minimum Coefficient of static friction to keep a block from sliding?

    What do you mean I forgot about the 40N force? Where would I put it in my equation? Actually, If I go (5kg)(2) = mewFN + 40N -30N = mewFN -30 / (-9.8 x 5) = .61 Thanks

    Minimum Coefficient of static friction to keep a block from sliding?

    A 5kg block is placed on top of a 15kg block that rests on a frictionless table. The surface between the top and bottom blocks is roughened so that there is no slipping between the blocks. A 40N horizontal force is applied to the top block. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction...

    Simple Problem about Air Pumped into a Balloon

    Alright... so I just found the FB on the crate, as well as the FB on the balloon. Now I divided that by 9.8 and got a mass. (since mg = pvg and pvg is the sum of the buoyant forces) Does that sound right?

    Simple Problem about Air Pumped into a Balloon

    ok so I calculated the mass of the water which would have been displaced... where can I go from there though? Where does the buoyant force that the water is exerting on the crate come into play?

    Simple Problem about Air Pumped into a Balloon

    In the problem I am working a shipping crate is underneath the water, the dimensions of the crate are given. They tell you that when a balloon is inflated to a radius of 1.3m the crate starts to rise. What is the mass of the crate? FB = Wfluid P= F/AI calculated the buoyant force acting on...

    Calculating Where Electric Field Between Two Charges is equal to Zero

    ok so I pick a random point and calculate the force each charge is exerting at that point? I really don't understand where to go from there though.

    Calculating Where Electric Field Between Two Charges is equal to Zero

    Two carges of + 1.5 x 10 ^-6 C and + 3.0 X 10^-6 C are .20m apart. Where is the electric field between them equal to zero? Do I use the equation Kq2/r^2 ? I also have Kq1q2 / r^2 I am pretty sure the problem can be solved using those two equations, and most likely the first equation...

    Physics 40s conservation of momentum question

    A 10,000kg space shuttle moving east at 3000km/h wishes to change its course by 10°. It does so by ejecting an object at a speed of 5000km/h (South). Calculate the mass of the ejected object. Equations Momentum before = momentum after momentum is mass x velocity I am honesty pretty...
