So is the F_net = F_gravity parallel - F_tension - F_friction? because that is what I got after drawing a free body diagram... EDIT: and now I'm trying to solve and I'm getting an expression with two variables - tension and acceleration

Thanks, I think that I got it now

1. A seagull diving towards a stone beach at an angle of 60 degrees to the vertical releases a clam from a height of 100 meters. The clam hits the beach 3.32 seconds later. To the nearest tenth of a m/s what was its speed when it was released? 2. v=v_0 + a*t

1. A football is kicked at an angle of 45 degrees from a distance of 37 meters and just clears a 3 meter high goal on its way down. To the nearest m/s what was its initial speed? 2. v = v_0 + a*t v^2 = (v_0)^2 + 2a*(x - x_0) x=x_0 + (v_0)t + (1/2)*a*t^2 3. I set the original...

1. A 10 kg box on a level surface is attached by a weightless, unstretchable rope to a 7.0 kg box which rest on a 30 degree incline. Find the rate of acceleration and the tension in the rope if... a) there is no friction ... b) coefficient of friction is 0.10 for both boxes 2. F_net...
