    Kinematics: Constant Acceleration

    A badminton shuttle, or "birdie" is struck, giving it a horizontal velocity of 73m/s [W]. Air resistance causes a constant acceleration of 18m/s^2 [E]. Determine its velocity after 1.6s. I've used the equation V2=V1+ax x t V2= Final velocity V1=initial velocity A= Acceleration t=time...

    What speed will the ball hit the ground?

    A ball has a mass of 240g. (which would be 0.24kg?) is moving through the air at 20.0m/s with a gravitational potential energy of 70J. With what speed will the ball hit the ground. Equations: Ek=mv^2/2 (kinetic energy) Eg=mgh (Gravitational potential energy) Ek=mgxdisplacement (if you...

    Calculating Work Load: 55kg Mass Walking up 20 Steps

    A person with mass 55kg walks at a constant speed up a set of stairs with 20 steps, each 20 cm high. I have to find the work load. Formula: W=FxD where F is force and D is displacement. The book says my answer should be 2.2x10^3. OR 2,200 Joules. I really don't know how to do...

    How to find Tension between two boxes

    A string is attached between two boxes with equal masses of 5kg EACH. The boxes are being pulled with a force of 30N and the acceleration is 3m/s^2. I think T=ma. But does 'm' mean I have to add both masses? T=10x3 =30N. I'm desperate to know if this is right or wrong. Thanks a...
