    How Do You Calculate the Linear Speed of a Rolling Disc?

    Oh boy...I went somewhere, but I don't know if it was right. Here is what I did: I used m*a=f-f(friction) and friction*radius = I*alpha. Alpha is equal to a*r, so I plugged that into make friction times radius = I*a*radius. Plugging that into m*a=F-f(friction) i got...

    How Do You Calculate the Linear Speed of a Rolling Disc?

    One more problem on a tough worksheet...I have tried it for a while, but can't find an equation(s) suitable for the problem... A constant force of 12N is applied to the axle of a disc rolling along a flat plane. The disc has mass m=22kg, diameter D=.50m, and rotational inertia I=.688kgm^2...

    How does initial velocity affect a car's stopping distance?

    I used the equation v^2=Vo^2+2(a)(S-So) and solved for acceleration, then plugged in new value for initial velocity and used the found acceleration. Is this correct? accel. = -16.3m/s^2 distance traveled @ 14 m/s = 6.01 m

    How does initial velocity affect a car's stopping distance?

    A car is traveling at 7 m/s when the wheels are locked up. The car slides 1.5 meters before coming to rest. If the car had been moving at 14 m/s, how far would the car slide, assuming the same breaking force is used? Not sure where to go with this problem...
