    Maximum Acelleration of a System of Masses

    Homework Statement A mass on a horizontal friction-free air track is accelerated by a string attached to another 10kg mass hanging vertically from a pulley. Suppose the masses described are 1kg and 100kg. Compare the acellerations when the masses are interchanged, that is, for the case when...

    Solve Soccer Ball Kick Homework Problem: 13.68m?

    I tried the second way you described (Vertical Component/Gravity=Time) and got 1.56 (forgot to mention that we're supposed to use 10m/s^2 as gravity due to acceleration rather than 9.8) Multiplied by 9 that's 14.04, and the book says the answer is 14.0 so I believe that that's the answer...

    What is the Formula for Calculating Tension in Physics?

    Oh, I understand now. I somehow overlooked gravity. The rest of the explanation makes sense too... no wonder nothing came up when I searched for the "tension formula". Thanks!

    What is the Formula for Calculating Tension in Physics?

    Hello... I'm brand new to Physics, going into 9th grade and got put into AP Physics BC so I got a large packet of Physics work and was told to learn the material and do all the work. I've been sort of stressed out since I barely understood half the questions, much less knew where to begin...
