The ball has an initial kinetic energy, which is transformed into an increase in gravitational potential energy. Max height occurs when vy equals zero.

Homework Statement picture: http://is.gd/tm7a An apparatus to determine coefficients of friction is shown above. The box is slowly rotated counterclockwise. When the box makes an angle \theta with the horizontal, the block of mass m just starts to slide, and at this instant the box...

1. Question A system consists of two blocks, each of mass M, connected by a spring of force constant k. The system is initially shoved against a wall so that the spring is compressed a distance D from its original uncompressed length. The floor is frictionless. The system is now released with...

Homework Statement A 65 kg person sits in a chair that is attached to a spring of force constant 15,000 n/m. This spring is compressed 3 m and can project the person up to a 20 m high ramp. The person then slides up the 20º ramp, which has a coefficient of friction of 0.5, until the person...

Hello all: I am an eighth grader who is very bored with his curriculum... way too easy. I am just about finished outlining the textbook so i won't have anything to do. What books (specifically large textbooks) for physics and chemistry can you recommend? I have read hyperspace twice...
