Homework Statement So there 2 boxes of nails being lifted at a construction site and one box is 20 kg and the other 10 kg. and the plank tilts towards the heavier box. if the coeficient of static friction is 0.4 draw a FBD for each box of nails and use it to calculate the angle at which...

would the relative velocity be relative to the earth? since its going into orbit?

Since the Earth rotates from west to east, rockets are launched from west to east This is done to aid in increasing the velocity of the rocket because the relative velocity becomes the velocity of the rocket + the velocity of the Earth thus giving the rocket a higher velocity. What this entails...

Homework Statement explain how relative velocity is related to the direction in which rockets are launched...

alright thank you very much Tim! :)

so for the direction tan -1 (25.7/40.6) = 32' so the complete answer is 48 mm/s [W32'N] ?

Homework Statement A ladybug with a velocity of 10 mm/s [W] crawls on a chair that is being pulled with a velocity of 40 mm/s [40 degrees N of W]. What is the velocity of the ladybug relative to the ground? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution finding the y-component...

no nothing?

so i asked my teacher about it and it wants centripetal acceleration not average

anyone?

Homework Statement so there's a 6 kg rock spinning in a circle with a string that can with stand a maximum tension of 75 and a radius of 1.5m and i need to find the maximum speed before the string will breakHomework Equations Fnet=ma a=4\pi2R/T2 The Attempt at a Solution so Fnet =ma and a =...

but i thought it would only SQRT if both sides have an exponent of 2 to get rid of the 2, because what i do to one side i have to do to the other do i not?

hello? any help?

you lost me now, why would i square V^2? :(

well 25^2 is 625 and 3700/12.5 is 296
