    Two skater's momentum after collision

    Momentum must be conserved. For part a pi=pf, where pi=m1v1+m2v2. You know the collision is ineslatic so the 2 gals move off together so pf=vf(m1+m2) where vf is your unknown. Solve for vf. I get 1.66 m/s

    Period of Pendulum When Moving Axis Closer to COM

    Homework Statement If the axis of rotation of a physical pendulum is placed closer to the COM, is the period of rotation longer? If it originally starts .5m from the COM the moves .3M from the COM the peroid shoud be longer right? I keep getting a longer period when the axis of roatation is...

    Simple Harmonic Motion of a 2kg particle

    I know that the kinetic energy plus the potential energy is equal to the totalt energy. I know the easiest way to solve the problem would just be to find one of them at the max. I am just confused on which one to solve for and how. My teacher did a really bad job on explaning this chapter and I...
