Finding coeffiecient of friction
Homework Statement You give a 2.85kg book an initial shove at 2.98m/s and it comes to rest after sliding 3.80m across the floor. Find the coefficient of friction between book and floor. Homework Equations vf^2=vo^2+ad f=ma The Attempt at a Solution 0=2.98+a*3.8 =2.33- ross moldvoer

Rotation period of a space station
so after solving for omega i plug it into T=2*pi*r/v? i get 407 when i do this and this seeems a little high- ross moldvoer

Finding revolution time at surface
the cylinder's diameter is 900m and i need the radius. 900/2=450. then i did 9.8/450=ω^2=.022, ω=.147 (i had a math error in the previous post, this is what i actually got)- ross moldvoer

Finding revolution time at surface
wow can't believe i missed that. so then 450ω^2=9.8, ω=.133 i converted .9 km to 900 m- ross moldvoer

Rotation period of a space station
i did accidently forget to do 2g instead of just 9.8.- ross moldvoer

Finding revolution time at surface
i know that ω = v/r but i do not know v. I guess i am confused about what to do in order to solve for ω.- ross moldvoer

Rotation period of a space station
i did 9.8=v^2/6.75, v^2=(9.8)(6.75)=66.15 v=8.13 then i plugged v into the equation i gave above- ross moldvoer

Finding revolution time at surface
Homework Statement For a 0.90km radius cylinder, find the time for one revolution if "gravity" at the surface is to be 9.8 m/s2. Homework Equations rω^2=a The Attempt at a Solution i tried solving for omega but i couldn't find a solution that i only had 1 variable in it.- ross moldvoer
