    Solve Tricky Homework Problem: Ice Flake Speed in Hemispherical Bowl

    In this problem, a 1.90 g ice flake is released from the edge of a hemispherical bowl whose radius r is 15.0 cm. The flake-bowl contact is frictionless. a) What is the speed of the flake when it reaches the bottom of the bowl? (b) If we substituted a second flake with twice the mass, what...

    Completely stuck on projectile motion prob

    Thank you all for the help, I just figured out what you meant by using sin and cos to find the x and y velocities and it worked out. Thanks!

    No, sorry we haven't learned about momentum yet. This is only chapter 3 of the first physics..so this and kinetics are the only things we've covered.

    Completely stuck on projectile motion prob

    I really don't understand what you mean by breaking it down into the y and x components by using sin and cos. What is my initial velocity that I will enter into that formula? And when I find that value, where do I go from there?

    Completely stuck on projectile motion prob

    In a football game a kicker attempts a field goal. The ball remains in contact with the kicker's foot for 0.050 s, during which time it experiences an acceleration of 340 m/s2. The ball is launched at an angle of 47° above the ground. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the...
