    How Does the Conservation of Energy Explain the Motion of Objects Over a Pulley?

    Homework Statement Two objects are connected by a light string passing over a light frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. The object of mass 5.00-kg is released from rest. Using the principle of conservation of energy, (a) determine the speed of the 3.00-kg object just as the 5.00-kg...

    How High Does the Crate Reach on the Inclined Plane?

    Homework Statement 1. A crate with scientific equipment slides down a curved frictionless side of lunar crater of the depth h, and then up along the other side which is an inclined plane as in Figure 2. The coefficient of kinetic friction between crate and incline is k, and the inclined side...

    How to Solve a Time-Dependent Force Problem for a Gliding Puck

    would it work to say a(t)=(4.00i-2.00tj), take the integral to find velocity and then find this magnitude? so 15= sqrt(4.00t2+(-t2)2)?? so then 225=16t2+t4, getting t=3 s?

    How to Solve a Time-Dependent Force Problem for a Gliding Puck

    Homework Statement To model a spacecraft , a toy rocket engine is securely fastened to a 2.00-kg large puck, which can glide with negligible friction over a horizontal surface, taken as the xy plane. The engine exerts a time-dependent force, F = (8.00 î – 4.00t ĵ) N, where t is in seconds...

    Laws of motion/static friction problem

    Homework Statement Two astronauts are unloading scientific equipment from the spaceship that has just landed on the Moon surface. To prevent a box from sliding down an inclined ramp, astronaut A pushes on the box in the direction parallel to the incline, just hard enough to hold the box...
