Finding initial velocity with distance and deceleration
A car drives at constant velocity on a road. As it comes near a stop sign, the driver brakes, which makes the car decelerate at 4.7 m/s/s. If the car traveled 9.8 METERS while the driver was braking, what was the starting or initial velocity just when the driver was hitting the brakes? I...- tennis38

Power needed when a flying machine loses energy to air resistance
For example, if it takes 60 watts of Power for a machine to fly, yet loses (for instance) 2.5 * 10^3 Joules of its energy because of the air resistance, what's the amount of "Power" that was really given in the first place? The time of flight for the machine is 30 minutes to get to the height...- tennis38

Work done against friction for a 6 kg cart sliding down a 36 m slope
A cart begins from the top of a hill, originally at rest, and then travels down the slope. The hill has a height of 15 meters and a slope of 36 meters. The cart's mass is 6 kg and its final velocity becomes 4 m/s when the cart finally travels to the bottom of the slope. Calculate the "work"...- tennis38
