    Calculating Tangential Velocity: 0.45kg Ball, 45N Force

    Suppose a 0.45kg ball is attached to a 1.00m long string. the force keeping the ball oving in a circular path is 45 N. What will the ball's centripetal acceleration and tangential velocity be? I got the first part, but I'm not sure how to get the 2nd part. So, I'm using v=r*omega...

    Distance Traveled by Point on Wheel: Rotational Motion

    it's asking for the distance the edge of wheel will be at or have traveled

    Distance Traveled by Point on Wheel: Rotational Motion

    yes, it does. so the 40cm is irrelevant?

    Distance Traveled by Point on Wheel: Rotational Motion

    so for distance, how should i find that? my answer is in radians.

    Distance Traveled by Point on Wheel: Rotational Motion

    ohh, yea, i think i get it. so the eq. would be: theta = .5 (240 + 360)(0.108)?

    Distance Traveled by Point on Wheel: Rotational Motion

    A 40cm diameter wheel accelerates uniformly from 240rpm to 360rpm in 6.5s. How far will a point on the edge of the wheel have traveled in this time? I think we have to use w=2pi*f? I used that equation and plugged in w=2pi*(120rpm/0.108min)=1107.69 revolutions. I don't know where to go...

    How Does a 45 Degree Angle Affect Boat Navigation in a River Current?

    1. A boat, whose speed in still water is 2.20m/s, must cross a 260m wide river and arrive at a point 110m upstream from where it starts. To do so, the pilot must head the boat at a 45 degree upstream angle. What's the speed of the river's current? 2. How do you incoporate 45 degrees into the...

    Projectile Motion shot over a cliff

    1. A projectile is shot from the edge of a cliff 125m above ground level with an initial speed of 105m/s at an angle of 37.0 degrees with the horizontal. a) Determine time taken by projectile to hit point P at ground level. b) Determine range X of the projectile as measured from the base of...

    How Much Sucrose Is Needed to Lower Water's Vapor Pressure by 2 mmHg?

    How many grams of sucrose (C12H22O11) must be added to 552 g of water to give a solution with a vapor pressure 2.0 mmHg less than that of pure water at 20 degrees C? (The vapor pressure of water at 20 degrees C is 17.5 mmHg.) I tried it out, and this is my work. change in P=mole fraction*P...
