    Determining Resultant of Concurrent Forces: Law of Cosines

    A 60-N force is acting at 30° east of north and a second 60-N force acting in the direction 60° east of north are concurrent forces. Determine the resultant of the forces. Using the Law of Cosines: c²=a²+b²-2ab(CosC) c²=13435.38 c=115.91 N for the magnitude of the resultant Then...

    Acceleration on an Incline: Calculating Net Acceleration and Final Speed

    Well you just seem to know everything don't you? Maybe once I get through a quarter of physics I'll be able to help people too. Thanks once again.

    Acceleration on an Incline: Calculating Net Acceleration and Final Speed

    Question: The record for grass skiing was set blah blah blah. Suppose it took Spinka 6.60 s to reach his top speed after he started from rest down a slope with a 34 degree incline. If the coefficient of friction between the skis and the grass was 0.198, what was the magnitude of Spinka's net...

    What is the Coefficient of Kinetic Friction for an Inclined Object?

    This teacher is the best science teacher I've ever had, but for some reason she failed to mention that the Fparallel was in the Fnet formula on the angle. And I know I didn't just copy it down wrong, because two of my friends (one of whom made a 36 on the math part of his ACT) couldn't do it...

    What is the Coefficient of Kinetic Friction for an Inclined Object?

    OK here's the problem: An extremely light drivable car with a mass of only 9.50 kg was built. Suppose that the wheels of the car are locked, so that the car no longer rolls. If the car is pushed up a 30° slope by an applied for of 80.0 N, the net accel. of the car is 1.64 m/s2. What is the...
