Well I've tried solving it like that but the answer I keep getting is 5.38793103e-11. Then to get rid of the e-6 I move the decimal over to the right 11 spaces and I then get 54 degrees as my answer. But the books answer is 57.4 degrees. What am I doing wrong? This is how I had the...

I know that the answer is 57.4 degrees, but I just can't seem to get it? The formula I am using is W=Fd(cos phada) And I am trying to solve for phada. Can someone please work out this problem step by step for me? I want to learn!

Work done by a constant force! A small plane tows a glider at constant speed and altitude. If the plane does 2.00 X 10^5 J of work to tow the glider 145m and the tension in the tow rope is 2560N, what is the angle between the tow rope and the horizontal? This is one of my homework problems...

well my crude attempt at a diagram didnt come out so good lol. But its supposed to look like a triangle.

This is the last question I have on my study guide that I can't solve. My physics test is tomorrow and I just want to be ready for it. Please help me figure this one out! What is the gravitation force on mass 1 if each mass is 2 kg? O<---(5m)---->O mass3 I...

I am looking over my study and have a few questions. How would I solve some of these questions? 1) An ice skater moving at 12m/s coasts to a halt in 95m on an ice surface. What is the coefficient of friction between the ice and skates? QUESTION: is the formula to use for this always going...

Thank you for your help! I do however have one last question. Would you be able find this answer 20.1m/s^2 if you didnt know that it was the answer? Sorry if this sounds dumb but I have only had 4 physics classes. I am taking a 5 week course this summer over physics so I am fairly new to all...

can you show me how you multiplied it? I really appreciate it!

Yea I was trying it out but it doesn't want to come out right. I believe I need to use one of the constant-acceleration equations of motion. But I am not sure which one? And how to plug the info into the equation?

The answer in the back of the book is 20.1 m/s^2 I just don't know how they got that? Can you help me figure this out! Thanks in advance!

Equations of Motion Help! I have been working on this for awile and still can't figure it out. What equation would I use to solve this problem? Here is the problem: On a ride called the Detonator at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, passengers accelerate straight downward from zero to 45 mi/h...
