    Am i wrong or is it the book? Newtonian physics two stacked masses

    Homework Statement A 2.0 kg block rest on a 4.0kg block that is on a frictionless horizontal table. The coefficients of friction are u_s = 0.3 and u_k = 0.2. What is the maximum force F that can be applied to the 4.0 kg block if the 2.0 kg block is not to slip? If F has half this value, find...

    Solving for initial velocity Projectile Motion

    Homework Statement A rock is thrown from the top of a twenty meter high building at the angle 53 degrees above the horizontal. IF the horizontal range of the throw is equal to the height of the building, what is the speed of the rock? How long is it in the air? What's the velocity of the rock...

    Finding Dimensions for Period of a Planet

    Homework Statement Hi! This is from Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Vol. 6 by Tipler and Mosca. 44. Kepler's third law relates the period of a planet to its orbital radius r, the constant G in Newton's law of gravitation, and the mass of the Sun Ms . What combination of these factors...
