Hello All, I'm doing some fun at home experiments with my 1:6 scale RC car and I wanted do some camparisons with its full scale counter part. Mainly how jumping the two off a ramp (Duke's of Hazzard style). I wanted to know if you can help me with confirming some of my scaling...

Hello All, I reposted this b/c i think i put it in the wrong forum. Recently I was asked to help provide some off the cuff calcuations for a stunt being peformed by a friend. It was a bit of challenge for me since I haven't cracked open a physics books in a long time. I used the Newtons...

Yes, El Hombre Invisible. My questions is based on my trying to solve a larger problem set to me. I posted it in the General Physics section title Using physics to solve stunt challenge" While trying to solve it, I felt i was also posed with the cart before the horse. Like you mentioned...

Hello All, Thanks for your repsonses. As El Hombre Invisible has stated, "aaaarrrggghhh! dx... dammit! Surely there's not enough info here!" When I was working on this problem. I felt the same way. For example for calculating the impulse force/forces you need the time or distance in...

Hello, I'm having trouble trying to calculate the tension in a cable when dealing with constant velocity and no acccel. For example. A block moving with constant velocity tied to a wire that is connected to a fixed wall. When the slack in the wire ends the blocks comes to an...
