    How Far Does the Mass Fall Before the Dime Slides Off the Disk?

    I am not quite sure what do you mean with confusion of radial and tangetinal acceleration. I know I acctually did not need the radial accel., but I needed the tangential to find the angular velocity ( ar= r *omega ^2) This is was actually only part I was not quite sure about. Is this...

    Thanks Doc Al, Can you check work I did to see if I did it right

    Mass on a spring and GravityPain in the neck

    Just remember to apply Newton second law. Which states that SUM F = ma. Combining Hooke's law F = -kx and Newton law you can get your acceleration or in this case the gravity.

    How Far Does the Mass Fall Before the Dime Slides Off the Disk?

    This is what I tried so far Ui+Ki=Uf+Kf mgh= (1/4 M(R squared) +m(r squared) +1/2m(V squared) + I am not sure if this is complete since I can’t figure out if the dime has also final potential energy and also how to add the friction in this I know for dime that n=mg and that...

    How Far Does the Mass Fall Before the Dime Slides Off the Disk?

    Okay here is the problem. A metal disk ( mass 250g , radius12 cm) is free to rotate about frictionless vertical axle through its center. The axle itself has negligible mass and a radius of 2 cm. A string wrapped around the axle passes over an ideal pulley to a hanging 85 g mass. A dime ( mass...
