Throwing a frisbee and measuring change in mechanical energy
A 75g Frisbee I thrown from a point 1.1 m above the ground with a speed 12 m/s when it has reached a height $.1 m its speed is 10.5 m/s What is the reduction in Emec of the frisbee-earth system because of air drag? At first I thought Since ΔEmec= Δk+Δu the change is -0.61 J Then I...- sjcorona

Conservation of energy, how far must a spring be compressed
1.14 So are you saying that all I had to do to solve this was make a ratio of it all? That sounds far too easy- sjcorona

Conservation of energy, how far must a spring be compressed
New velocity= 1.14(d)/t I can plug that back into my kinetic=spring potential but I still have too may unknowns- sjcorona

Conservation of energy, how far must a spring be compressed
Two children are playing a game in which the try to hit a small box on the floor with a marble fired from a spring loaded gun mounted on a table. The target box is horizontal distance D=2.20 m from the edge of the table. Bobby compresses the spring 0.011m but the center of the marble falls 0.27...- sjcorona

Finding coefficien of kinetic friction
A slide loving pig slides down a 35 degree slide in twice the time it would taken to slide down a frictionless 35 degree slide. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the pig and slide? So with the frictionless slide I found ax=8.03m/s^2 but without velocity or the length of...- sjcorona

I know f=ma but I need velocity
While two forces act on it a particle is to move at the constant velocity v= (3m/s)I - (4m/s)j. One of the forces is F1=(2n)I +(-6n)j what is the other force? I want to say (1n)I + (2n)j but then I couldn't decided why that would be true. I guess I liked those numbers because if the mass...- sjcorona
