    Kinetic Energy in Rotational Motion Problem

    Ok the problem is: Energy is to be stored in a flywheel in the shape of a uniform solid disk with a radius of 1.30 m and a mass of 72.0 kg. To prevent structural failure of the flywheel, the maximum allowed radial acceleration of a point on its rim is 3600 m/s^2. What I did was solve for...

    Center of Mass Projectile Problem

    If I left it at 305.27m then the math would be 776.1m = [(9.7kg*305.27m) + 9.7kg*x_f2] / 19.4kg = 1246.93 m and that answer was not correct either :(

    Center of Mass Projectile Problem

    ya sorry I had it written 9.7kg*2, I did use 19.4. But for the x_f1 I put it to -470.4m because I put the center of mass that I found as the origin in a new axes for calculating x_f2's position. so 776.1m became 0, which means that 776.1m-305.72m became x_f1 and since it's to the left of...

    Center of Mass Projectile Problem

    Hi, sorry stuck again! Here is the problem: A projectile of mass 19.4 kg is fired at an angle of 57.0 degrees above the horizontal and with a speed of 81.0 m/s. At the highest point of its trajectory the projectile explodes into two fragments with equal mass, one of which falls vertically...

    What is the solution to the Center of Mass Canoe Problem?

    awww I see, so if I want the initial position of the canoe to be 0 I would have to set the coordinate in the center of the canoe making the woman's initial position -1.5. Ok, well that makes sense, thanks Radou.

    What is the solution to the Center of Mass Canoe Problem?

    Well I included the mass of the canoe when I divided. I have the initial position of the canoe equal to 0 is there a different number I should use for that?

    What is the solution to the Center of Mass Canoe Problem?

    Hi there, I have a question about what I'm doing wrong with the following problem: A 45.0-kg woman stands up in a 60.0-kg canoe of length 5.00 m. She walks from a point 1.00 m from one end to a point 1.00 m from the other end. If you ignore resistance to motion of the canoe in the water...
