    How Do Friction and Incline Angle Affect Forces Between Two Sliding Masses?

    Homework Statement Two weights are placed on a rough incline, inclined for 48 degrees. Weight 1, m1 =3.5 kg has coefficient of friction of 0.55 and weight 2, mass m2=7.0 kg, has coefficient of friction 0.10. Initially, weights 1 and 2 are placed one after the other and are at rest. They start...

    How Do You Calculate the Closest Point of Approach for Two Moving Objects?

    Thank you very much. I figured it out...and then you differentiate it and put it equal to 0 and solve for t...Thanks ;-)

    How Do You Calculate the Closest Point of Approach for Two Moving Objects?

    Homework Statement Two objects 1 and 2 are moving towards each other, 1 along the x-axis and the 2 along the y axis. Initially, object 1 is at (- 28.9,0) (in m) moving at speed v 1 = 13.7 m/s, while 2 is at (0.-36.8) (in m) moving at speed v 2 = 7.5 m/s. How long does it take until the objects...
