  1. Q

    Can you calculate the speed of a man jumping onto a spring-loaded platform?

    Ok I was wondering if someone could help me with this problem I'm not sure how to set uo the problem in order to solve it using kinetic and potential energy. Thank you here's the question. An 80.0-kg man jumps from a height of 2.50 m onto a platform mounted on springs. As the springs...

    What is the tension in the lower cord?

    Do I use kinematics to find the velocity?
  3. Q

    What is the tension in the lower cord?

    No i don't know the equation for centripetal force. Can you give it to me please.
  4. Q

    What is the tension in the lower cord?

    Yea when I posted you posted like a milli second right after me. Ok so the i would use one of the kinematic equations to find the velocity.
  5. Q

    Stopping Distance on dry pavement

    ok so mu_{k}(mg)=ma so a=mu_{k}(g). Is this what you are trying to get me to see.
  6. Q

    What is the tension in the lower cord?

    I did finish part a. I said that you for your help in reply #6. The answer was 31N and the reason i had gotten it wrong was because i forgot about the weight.
  7. Q

    Stopping Distance on dry pavement

    ok so the sum of the forces in the x direction would be the velocity-coefficient of kinetic friction=ma
  8. Q

    What is the tension in the lower cord?

    Ok for part b since i have the radius i found the circumference which is the total distance in one revolution. But how can i get the time. Or what would be the next step in solving the problem.
  9. Q

    What is the tension in the lower cord?

    Ok I found the mistake I made. I forgot to subtract the weight. The answer is 31.N. Now I'm going to try the next ones. Thanks for your help.
  10. Q

    Stopping Distance on dry pavement

    Yes, that's really the only thing i know. But still can't get the problem.
  11. Q

    What is the tension in the lower cord?

    Ok I used the Phythagorean Theorem a^2+b^2=c^2: 1+b^2=1.25^2; b=.75. Them I found the angle within the triangle using Sine, which is opposite over hypotnuse. .75/1.25 and the take the inverse of sine. The angle i got was 53.1. I then set up the force in the y direction: T_1(the tension in the...

    Stopping Distance on dry pavement

    I think I see what you are saying but my problem is that I haven't completely gone through that yet. That is the next chapter. The chapter that is problem comes from is Applying Neton's Laws, but I'm stuck. Thanks for your help
  13. Q

    What is the tension in the lower cord?

    On this problem I do thr freebody diagram but i can't determine how to find the angle for the lower cord. At first i though that the 2 tensions would be equal but aparently that is incorrect.
  14. Q

    Stopping Distance on dry pavement

    I'm sorry I didn't even notice that I missed the units. Here is the problem again: If the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and dry pavement is 0.800, what is the shortest distance in which an automobile can be stopped by locking the brakes when traveling at 29.7m/s? Take the free...
  15. Q

    What is the tension in the lower cord?

    Hello I really need help I hope someone can help me. Thank You in advance. The problem reads. The 4.00-kg block in the figure is attached to a vertical rod by means of two strings. When the system rotates about the axis of the rod, the strings are extended as shown in the diagram and the...
