So then I'd use (1/4X10^2)/(2*2.6*.122) in the place of C? I see why that's important, I'm just working on how we did it? And what do we do with it now. Thanks for being patient with me! :)Edit: I just used what you guys said to get down to the correct answer! I can't thank you guys enough! I...

How would I go about defining the constant then?

Was there something else in the OP, now edited out? Nope... that part sort of confused me, but I looked passed it as well. I think the friction is only necessarily because without it the object would slip rather than roll. Unless that's not correct?

Thanks for Helping So then, now we have 1/2*Iω^2 + 1/2mv^2 - mgh + Δ Thermal Energy = 0 For change in thermal should I be using μ * N ? so Tanθ*Mgcosθ ? To get the energy from friction in this case. This likely sounds dumb, but can you help me do this? Or should I be solving for V...

Homework Statement A ball of mass 2.60 kg and radius 0.120 m is released from rest on a plane inclined at an angle θ = 36.0° with respect to the horizontal. How fast is the ball moving (in m/s) after it has rolled a distance d=1.90 m? Assume that the ball rolls without slipping, and that its...

Finding time to work on this during the week is hard for me. I'm going to review my work now and keep at it. Thanks, I'll post more here later. (Just wanted you guys to know I wasn't leaving it for dead).

When mass M is at the position shown, it is sliding down the inclined part of a slide at a speed of 2.41 m/s. The mass stops a distance S2 = 1.9 m along the level part of the slide. The distance S1 = 1.22 m and the angle θ = 37.10°. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction for the mass on...

Ramp With Friction - Help Appreciated! Homework Statement When mass M is at the position shown, it is sliding down the inclined part of a slide at a speed of 2.41 m/s. The mass stops a distance S2 = 1.9 m along the level part of the slide. The distance S1 = 1.22 m and the angle θ = 37.10°...

That makes sense, I just solved it all. Thanks for the prompt response!

Homework Statement A moving 1.90 kg block collides with a horizontal spring whose spring constant is 237 N/m. The block compresses the spring a maximum distance of 13.00 cm from its rest position. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the horizontal surface is 0.430. What...
