Physics Homework Help: Solving for Coefficient of Friction & Acceleration
Homework Statement a) a truck tilts its flat bed slowly to dispose of a 95.0 kg crate. For small angles the crate stays put but just begins to slide when the angle of tilt is 24.0°. Make a free body diagram for the crate when it is on the verge of sliding, clearly showing the relevant forces...- terryW16

Can a Spider's Acceleration on a Spider Web Be Supported by its Tension?
Homework Statement A 2.0 X 10^-4 kg spider is suspended from a thin strand of spider web. The greatest tension the strand can withstand is 2.0 X 10^-3 N. if the spider was to ascend the strand from rest going to 1.0 m/s in 4.0 s with a steady acceleration, will the strand be able to support...- terryW16

NEED PHYSICS HELP am i doing this correctly?
Using the d=1.5a*t 48.0=1/2 6.0* t^2 48/(1/2*6.0)= 16 =4.0 ?? and for the Vx= Vx0 + ax(t) Vx= (24.0 m/s) + (6.0 m/s²)(4.0s) Vx= 48.0 m/s what did i do wrong? and for x= x0 + vx0(t) + (1/2)ax(t)² x= 0 +(24.0 m/s)(4.0s)+(1/2)(6.0 m/s²)(4.0s)² x= 144 m what should i use instead of the 6.0...- terryW16

NEED PHYSICS HELP am i doing this correctly?
Once again the determined coyote is out to get the road runner. He has a new pair of power skates that provide a constant acceleration of 6.0 m/s^2 along the flat top of the mesa he starts off from rest 48.0 m from the edge of a cliff just as the road runner zips past towards the cliff at...- terryW16
