What does the symbol T mean when referring to angles? How does this relate to degrees? I.e. A boy exerts a force of 200 at an angle of 023T.

I know its a good answer, I just don't quite understand why I could lift the same weight here and on the moon. Sometimes its the easy stuff that trips me up.

Homework Statement A problem about two hockey players simultaneously striking a puck. I don't need an answer for the problem. But I'd like to know what the symbol T means. It is in reference to: one player strikes the puck with 350N force at 020.0T. What is this T? I don't think it's...

Homework Statement The gravitational acceleration on the moon is 1.62 m/s2. If you can barely lift 195 lbf on earth, what would be the max you could lift on the moon (give answer in N). Homework Equations F=mg The Attempt at a Solution I have a feeling this is a trick question...

Ja4Coltrane, thanks so much. I'm going to run through this and see if I comprehend it fully. It's still a little above my head, but the answer is right according to my calculations versus the answer sheet (give or take a few decimal places).

Thanks for replying, but I'm sorry, that is all the info I have. I assume I would draw an x and y axis, with the 0 degree vector at the horizontal x and the 34 degree one below the x-axis. Like if it was a clock, it would be 3:20. Does this help?

Hi, I hope this type of question is against the rules here. But I have a slight emergency. I have to substitute teach a HS physics class tomorrow. I am a biology teacher, so this is out of my realm. I have to explain a couple problems and have no idea how to begin. I am figuring I need to...
