    Simple Harmonic Motion of an air-track glider

    1- yea i wasnt in radian mode ...THANKS 2- I tried it in radian and i got 1.212 and its also wrong :S 3- i can rearrange the x(t) equation to have it as a function of t but i have two x's...im confused... 4- yea i believe its the rite equation and i did try it and i got the same answer 5- i...

    Calculating Fmax of Collision Q: Tennis Ball & Wall

    OK so how do i do that?! 2059.77 = 2F/3 F = 3089.66 N idk that would be my guess...any suggestions?

    Calculating Fmax of Collision Q: Tennis Ball & Wall

    hmm i must be doing something wrong again, this is how i worked it out I used impulse = change in momentum so; F t = m (V2-V1) F = [(0.64kg) (56m/s)]/ (0.0174s) F = 2059.77 N ==> this is the wrong answer could u please tell me where I am going wrong...thx

    Calculating Fmax of Collision Q: Tennis Ball & Wall

    Homework Statement A 64.0 g tennis ball with an initial speed of 28.0 m/s hits a wall and rebounds with the same speed. The figure below shows the force of the wall on the ball during the collision. What is the value of Fmax, the maximum value of the contact force during the collision, if the...

    Help Solving a Sled Friction Problem

    well if what i said was correct and fnet(x-direction) = ma = Ff, then ma = Ukmg right? ohhh ic...lol so a=Ukg... my bad this is where i make another stupid mistake...THANKS

    Solving Physics Homework: Car Dropped from 32.8m Cliff

    yay i got the right answer, i was doing it wrong in terms of calculating time, i had to first calculate the time it took it to reach its max hight and then calculate the time it took from its max hight to reach the floor. so for my y-direction my v1=6.38m/s, and v2= 0 and i know that a=...

    Solving Physics Homework: Car Dropped from 32.8m Cliff

    i think so, idk i used my calculator to get the answer, but here's how i set it up: d=32.8m, v1= 6.38m/s (maybe this number should b negative since speed is down in the y-direction, wat do u think?) and a= -9.8m/s^2 so d=v1 t + .5 a t^2 32.8 = 6.38t + -4.9 t^2 4.9t^2 - 6.38t + 32.8 = 0...
