    How Do Physics Principles Explain a Car's Trajectory and Collision Dynamics?

    Velocity, displacement? Please help me to solve this! I have no idea! The brakes of a car failed and the car travels at a constant velocity of 45 m/s off a 27 m cliff. A) How far from the cliff does the car hit the ground? B)When it hits the ground, it skids off 13 m/s with a...

    Momentum, conservation of momentum

    Conservation of momentum! help please!? A m1 = 0.450 kg block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless track h1 = 2.85 m above the top of a table. It then collides elastically with a 1.00 kg mass that is initially at rest on the table, as shown in Figure P6.47. Figure P6.47...

    Accelerating car, kinematics problem

    A 2.3 103 kg car starts from rest and accelerates along a horizontal roadway to +17 m/s in 21 s. Assume that air resistance remains constant at -500 N during this time. Find (a) the average power developed by the engine and (b) the instantaneous power developed at t = 15 s. I am...

    How Does Friction Affect Spring Compression and Block Displacement?

    Two identical massless springs of constant k = 200 N/m are fixed at opposite ends of a level track, as shown in Figure P5.62. A 5.90 kg block is pressed against the left spring, compressing it by 0.150 m. The block (initially at rest) is then released, as shown in Figure P5.62a. The entire track...

    2d Projectles Motion/Kinematics

    HI guys, I am having a lot of trouble with determining initial velocity, x and y components etc. Can someone please help me with this Sara drives a rocket sled from rest 25 m up a 15 degree ramp at an acceleration of 8 m/s2. Whats the final velocity? Thank you

    How Far Is the Diagonal Distance from the Ramp to the Final Resting Place?

    That's what I am trying to figure out with the different x and y components. Do you have any idea how to solve?

    Solving a Difficult Projectile Motion Problem: How Far is the Diagonal Distance?

    Ronson drives a rocket sled from rest 25 m up from a15 degree ramp at an acceleration of 8.0 m/s2. The rocket cuts off at the end of the ramp, which happens to be atthe edge of a 75 m high cliff. He freefalls in his sled until he bounces on a trampoline, which is on a 30.0 m high platform, and...

    How Far Is the Diagonal Distance from the Ramp to the Final Resting Place?

    sry its supposed to be "Ronson drives a rocket sled from rest 25 m up from a15 degree ramp at an acceleration of 8.0 m/s2."
