Working at the problem again, I was looking at different arcs how it relates to the 2.0m mentioned in the problem. Doing some work, we know that I pushed the ball 2.0m in the x direction, and not the ball a total of 2m. Going from my initial idea dealing with arcs, 2.0m in the x direction...

First and foremost, you need to solve for centripetal acceleration of Tarzan. Also, we are assuming that Tarzan is traveling at a constant velocity, or else the centripetal acceleration is changing, in which the problem requires a lot more work, so I'll assume that Tarzan is traveling at a...

Looking at this problem kinda helped me study for my physics final tomorrow as it is on my exam. Anyways getting back on topic. I think that because it is an elastic collision, we can assume that both objects are traveling at the same velocity after the collision in the -x direction. If we...

I'm having a little bit of trouble trying to figure out how to solve this problem. I know it has to do with conservation of momentum, but I can't seem to get my first step on the problem. The problem is as follows: A bowling ball with a mass of 5.5kg hangs from the end of a 5.0m cable...
