Can you explain to me why it will not leave the ground?

Lets say that we have a rocket positioned at a certain angle with respect to the horizontal. The rocket is fired, with a constant propulsion force of . Assume that the rocket has a constant mass of kg (the gas used to propel the rocket is negligibly small). What is the optimal angle with...

Problem: A pendulum that has a period of 3.00000s and that is located where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.79 m/s^2 is moved to a location where the acceleration due to gravity is 9.82 m/s^2. What is its new period, in s? Equations Equation for Harmonic motion: x = A sin (2pi * f * t)...

Since the child moves with the merry-go-round, we have to consider a separate moment of inertia for Lindsey, right?

The unit of angular momentum is kg * m^2 / s (or I * W). The moment of inertia for a point mass, mr^2's unit is kgm^2. That means the unit of W has to be 1/s. I'm having trouble converting this to radian/s. Thank you!
