    Calculating Displacement with Friction and Air Resistance

    First, I calculated for the Kinetic Energy which would be 1/2mv^2. 1/2(1700kg)(54.22m/sec) = 46,087J. Next, I calculated the impact friction would have: f=u(coeficcient of friction)F .1(1700)(9.8) = 1,666N. Then I calculted the work that would be done: Work = F(displacement) 46087J =...

    Speed Relative to an Observer on the Ground

    Homework Statement A shuttle is orbitting around the Earth at a velocity of (7.7x10^3) m/sec. The distance between a point on the Earth to the shuttle is (6.7x10^6)m. Calculate the speed of the shuttle relative to an observer on the earth. Completely lost! I was able to solve the...

    Calculating Displacement with Friction and Air Resistance

    Homework Statement A car is rolling down a hill, it has a velocity of 54.22m/sec at the bottom of the hill. When it reaches the bottom of the hill, a fan begins to blow on it causing a drag force of 250N. Also, the tires create a friction coefficient of .1. The car eventually stops due to...
