    Net Power to Accelerate Car up Inclined Road

    A car (m = 760 kg accelerates uniformly from rest up an inclined road which rises uniformly, to a height, h = 44 m. Find the net power the engine must deliver to reach a speed of 20.7 m/s at the top of the hill in 22.5s (NEGLECT frictional losses: air and rolling, ...) I know that...

    How Do You Calculate the Coefficient of Kinetic Friction on an Inclined Plane?

    When mass M is at the position shown, it is sliding down the inclined part of a slide at a speed of 1.89 m/s. The mass stops a distance S2 = 1.85 m along the level part of the slide. The distance S1 = 1.25 m and the angle theta = 37.7 degrees. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction for...

    What Determines the Velocity of a Mass Released from a Compressed Spring?

    How do I figure velocity?! What is the velocity of the mass as it breaks contact with the spring? From part 1 I got: A 1.118 kg block is on a horizontal surface with mu-k = 0.150, and is in contact with a lightweight spring with a spring constant of 715 N/m which is compressed. Upon release...

    Calculating Kinetic Energy of a Diver Using Conservation of Mechanical Energy

    From KE_final=PE(initial)+KE(initial) i get: (66.0)(9.8)(4.90)+1/2(66.0)(8.20^2)= 5388.2 and it was right thanxs a lot

    How to Calculate Velocity After a Spring Releases?

    Velocity from variable force(spring)? What is the velocity of the mass as it breaks contact with the spring? From part 1 I got: A 1.118 kg block is on a horizontal surface with mu-k = 0.150, and is in contact with a lightweight spring with a spring constant of 715 N/m which is compressed...

    Calculating Kinetic Energy of a Diver Using Conservation of Mechanical Energy

    Kinetic Energy, Help! A 66.0 kg diver is 4.90 m above the water, falling at speed of 8.20 m/s. Calculate her kinetic energy as she hits the water. (Neglect air friction) Then the problem hints:Use conservation of mechanical energy. So I'm thinking that conservation is K_f+U_f=K_i+U_i but...

    Energy/Work help with truth or false

    Here it is: A) Energy conservation law for a projectile (no friction): Potential energy decrease equals the kinetic energy increase. B) More power is required while slowly lifting a box than while lifting it up quickly. C) Work cannot be done in the absence of motion. D) Energy is required...

    Find the stopping distance of that same car

    A 680.0 kg car traveling on a level road at 27.0 m/s (60.5 mi/hr) can stop, locking its wheels, in a distance of 61.0 m (200.1 ft). Find the size of the horizontal force which the car applies on the road while stopping. Correct, computer gets: 4.06E+03 N now: Find the stopping distance...

    Help With Physics problems i'm having trouble

    I used the data I have, but either the formula I'm using is incorrect or I'm doing something wrong. I tried using a=V^2/2(d) and i tried to solve for d there but i don't get a correct answer. Can you recommend any formula for this maybe a variation of the 3rd law( i assume this is a 3rd law...
