Say there are two objects, A and B. A is moving with X velocity and B is at rest. Upon collision, what factor determines whether A will rebound off of B and B will stay at rest. Also, what determines if the two objects will "stick" together or move in the same direction as A? I believe it has...
I'm writing a program and I need to know the pushed block's final distance. The user will input the amount of the applied force. I just have it so that the block is pushed for a second and it'll slide after that point. After it's been given a push, it'll have so-and-so speed and acceleration -...
The resulting acceleration would be the applied force plus the force of friction. Since the force of friction is opposing force to the applied force, it's basically subtracting the two values. Normal force is the positive value of the object's weight.
Which energy formulas would I use? Can...
1) I would like to know if I found the deceleration correctly.
Since the force of friction is coefficient of friction * Normal Force, and F = ma, would the deceleration be force of friction/mass?
2) How do I calculate the total distance a sliding block traveled? (The block was pushed.)
I haven't taken Physics in a long time, so my knowledge in Physics has pretty much faded away.
My question is, say I apply a force of 10 N to a block that has a mass of 2 kg and I want to find the velocity of the block when it's been pushed (or right after it's been pushed). How would I come...
