    How far from the table does the block hit the floor?

    Vx = (first bold) - (second bold)*(cos(angle)) Vy = 0 - (second bold)*(sin(angle)) Vx^2 + Vy^2 = Vf^2 Take sq rt of Vx^2 + Vy^2... I keep getting .255 Part b tan(angle) = Vy/Vx do inverse tan in calculator... this gives u the angle... and it will be pos.

    Rotational Kinetic Energy of bicycle wheels

    A bicycle has wheels of radius 0.33 m. Each wheel has a rotational inertia of 0.082 kg* m2 about its axle. The total mass of the bicycle including the wheels and the rider is 74 kg. When coasting at constant speed, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the bicycle (including rider) is the...

    How far from the table does the block hit the floor?

    A 0.015-kg bullet traveling horizontally at 399.9 m/s strikes a 4.1-kg block of wood sitting at the edge of a table. The bullet is lodged into the wood. If the table height is 1.2 m, how far from the table does the block hit the floor? ________________________m
