    Graphical analysis, vx, ax, and xf problems

    1.) A car travels at 15 m/s for 10s. It then speeds up with a constant acceleration of 2.00 m/s^2 for 15s. At the end of this time, what is its velocity? My answer: Vxf= 45 m/s 2.) An object is moving in a straight line with constant acceleration. Initially it is traveling at 16 m/s...

    Finding critical angles and index of refractions

    im having trouble setting my TI-83 Plus into "degree mode" so i can't seem to get the answers for these problems...im probably doing them wrong too A material has an index of refraction of 1.75. What is the critical angle for this material? Sin(critical angle)=1/n, n being the index of...

    Alter Angular Momentum & Forces | Explained with Examples

    "In what way could angular momentum be changed?" a) alter the mass b)alter the angular velocity c) redistribute the mass d) all of the above i picked all of the above because altering the mass and altering the velocity both change angular momentum..can you please explain this to me?

    Understanding Linear Motion and Angular Momentum

    Ah i see..so it would be more stable if steel were on the bottom, because if steel were on top, it would require a smaller tilt to move hte center of gravity out of the support area thank you very much, mark

    Calculating Kinetic Energy and Work: Practice Problems and Solutions

    oh, ok. thank you edgardo. One more question. What power is required to accelerate a 500kg car from zero to 18 m/s in one minute? First i found the kinetic energy Ek=1/2mv^2 Ek=1/2(500kg)(18m/s)^2 Ek=250(324)=81000 J Power= Joules per second Power= 81000 J / 60 Power= 1350 W...

    Calculating Kinetic Energy and Work: Practice Problems and Solutions

    greetings...i need some help please and someone to check if i did the problems correctly. 1.) How much kinetic energy will a 5kg ball have after rolling down a 1m high incline? My Answer: 4.43 J If Potential Energy=mgh, then P=(5kg)(9.81m/s^2)(1m) so...
