    Kinetic Energy and Angular Momentum of General Rotation System

    Five identical particles of mass m = 0.30 kg are mounted at equal intervals on a thin rod of length l = 1.01 m and mass M = 2.0 kg, with one mass at each end of the rod. If the system is rotated with angular velocity = 60 rev/min about an axis perpendicular to the rod through one of the end...

    Static coefficient versus kinetic coefficient of friction

    I have a lab question that I'm confused about: What can you say about acceleration if the: a) static coefficient = kinetic coefficient = 0 b) static coefficient = kinetic coefficient does not equal 0 c) static coefficient is greater than kinetic coefficient

    How should a hunter aim to hit a target? Kinematics problem

    A hunter aims directly at a target (on the same level) 120 m away. (a) If the bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 300 m/s, by how much will it miss the target? (b) At what angle should the gun be aimed so the target will be hit? Im havin a little trouble here. I think you are supposed to...

    How Deep Does a Lake's Water Level Drop Annually Due to Local Consumption?

    The volume of water would be (43000 people/4)*(1200 L)*(1000 cm^3/L)= 1.29e10 cm^3 Area = (43km^2)(100000 cm/km) = 4300000 cm^2 *btw the final answer must be in cm h = 1.29e10 cm^3/4300000 cm^2 h = 3000 cm

    Calculating Average Acceleration: Solving a Sports Car Stopping Distance Problem

    yea its 26.38888888888 m/s, no it asks for g's in another questions and when I do 7.9/9.8 it says that answer is correct. I wonder if this method is average acceleration or is it instantaneous?

    Calculating Average Acceleration: Solving a Sports Car Stopping Distance Problem

    I used v^2-vo^2=2a(x-xo Have to convert to m/s so vo=26.38 m/s, vf=0

    How Deep Does a Lake's Water Level Drop Annually Due to Local Consumption?

    An average family of four uses roughly 1200 liters (about 300 gallons) of water per day. (one liter = 1000 cm3.) How much depth would a lake lose per year if it uniformly covered an area of 43 square kilometers and supplied a local town with a population of 43000 people? Consider only population...

    Calculating Average Acceleration: Solving a Sports Car Stopping Distance Problem

    A sports car is advertised to be able to stop in a distance of 44 m from a speed of 95 km/h. What is its [average] acceleration in m/s2? How many g's is this (g = 9.80 m/s2)? I have 7.9 m/s2, as my answer for average acceleration, but webassign isn't accepting my answer. Can someone help me out?
