    Determine the coefficient of static friction between car and track

    forgot the weights... y=3m, 4kg, y=-2m, 2kg, y=-4m, 3kg I= (4)(3)^2 + (2)(2)^2 + (3)(4)^2 I= 92kg

    Determine the coefficient of static friction between car and track

    Any help will be aprreciated... 1. A car traveling on a flat circular track accelerates uniformly from rest with a tangential acceleration of 1.70 m/s2. The car makes it one quarter of the way around the circle before skidding off the track. Determine the coefficient of static friction...

    Calculate the initial recoil spped of the boat

    1. A 75KG man stands in a 100kg rowboat at rest in still water. He faces the back of the boat and throws a 5kg rock out of the back at a speed of 20 m/s. The boat recoils forward 4.2 m.. Calculate the initial recoil spped of the boat, the loss in mecahnical energy due to friction, the effective...

    Firefighter hose physics problem

    ugh, should have been obvious:( so i would have to find t, using the equation X=Xxo+Voxt+1/2axt*2 50=40t + 4.9t^2 solve for t using the quadratic equation then plug in t into Y=Yyo+ Voyt+1/2ayt^2 Yyo= o Voy=20 a= 9.81

    Firefighter hose physics problem

    Help:( 1) A firefighter, 50m away froma building, directs a hose at an angle of 30*, if the initial speed of the stream is 40m/s, what height does it hit the building? i'm guessing i make a triangle and solve for h tan30= h/50, solve for h, i get 28 m ...but it's not the right...

    Motion in 2d/Centripetal Acceleration

    Well I got it. For 1 b) x=t^2m y=2t^2, for c) a^2 + b^2= c^2, c= velocity. For 2. The angles of the directionals were 36.9 and 53.1, then cos36.9=20.2/x, solve for x, cos53.1= 22.5/x2, solve for x2, add both xs, and you get 62.8 m/s for the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration. For c...

    Motion in 2d/Centripetal Acceleration

    ...sorry for doing this, but having trouble with some problems 1) A particle starts from rest at t=0 at the origin and moves in the xy plane with a constant acceleration of a= (2i + 4j) m/s2. After a time t has elaped, determine (a) the x and y components of velocity. (b) the coordinates of...
