It is asking the total distance traveled by the mass therefore the horizontal distance it travels while moving in the pendulum motion as well as the range it travels after the string breaks. The ground is where the ball is initially resting on and the vertical distance I am looking for it...

Homework Statement The question involves a bullet weighing 0.04 kg and traveling at 360 m/s being fired at a pendulum ball (weighing 1.0 kg) with which it becomes lodged and the string (which is 2 m long) thereafter breaks at 45 degrees to the ground. The ball then acts with projectile...

[b]1. The bottom of a steel "boat" is a 4.00 m x 10.0 m x 4.00 cm piece of steel (rho=7900). The sides are made of 0.490 cm-thick steel. Homework Equations Fbouy = Wobj The Attempt at a Solution i have gone around in so many directions that I am pretty much lost...is okay to...

Water flows out of a 17.0 mm-diameter sink faucet at 2.20 m/s. At what distance below the faucet has the water stream narrowed to 10 mm diameter? I am confused on how to approach this question as it is vertical and therefore using the bernoulli's eqn. for this makes no sense? or at least i...

A U-shaped tube, open to the air on both ends, contains mercury. Water is poured into the left arm until the water column is 20.0 cm deep. How far upward from its initial position does the mercury in the right arm rise? So far, this is my work: Using pressure = density(water) x g x...

Well i used the volume of a cylinder formula and found the volume and then using the density i found the mass but that answer was incorrect and i don't think i made any mistakes in the calculation so that's where i got stuck...

Well, since a vat can isn't necessarily a cylinder how would I go about doing that? I tried to assume the vat was a cylinder and found that volume but the answer wasn't correct.

A 1.90 m-diameter vat of liquid is 2.70 m deep. The pressure at the bottom of the vat is 1.30 atm. What is the mass of the liquid in the vat? I found the density of the fluid but now I'm stuck and I really can't get my mind around this even though i know its going to turn out being so...
