This has been really helpful, thanks guys! I think my problem stemmed from coordinate vs. proper acceleration and my definition of absolute. I read up on wikipedia and I think I get it now

My question stems from a conversation I had recently with another physics buddy of mine and has to do with rotating reference frames and acceleration. Say, in a non-rotating reference frame you have an object with a known position. For the sake of argument, say it has a position A of 0i + 2j +...

the 35.9 is 334.8 - 298.9, the net force, b/c 334.8 is the force she is pulling upwards and 298.9 is the force of gravity, and in this pulley system, the bucket she is in tied to a rope which is thrown over a pulley and back down to her hand, sorry if that was confusing, but in this case, with...

what in specific do you need help with?

the net force comes out to be 35.9N so then would you do it like... 35.9N = 30.5a a = 1.18?

Homework Statement A window washer pulls herself upward using the bucket-pulley apparatus shown in Fig. 4-48. The mass of the person plus the bucket is 61 kg. (a) How hard must she pull downward to raise herself slowly at constant speed? 298.9 N (b) If she increases this force by 12%, what...

Homework Statement What is the maximum acceleration a car can undergo if the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground is 0.38? that is it, no mass or anything else Homework Equations F=ma (friction coefficient)Fn=Ffr Fn = normal force Ffr = friction force...
