    Calculating Spring Displacement with Added Mass in Simple Harmonic Motion

    Homework Statement A 0.24 kg mass is suspended on a spring which stretches a distance of 5.9 cm. The mass is then pulled down an additional distance of 13.5 cm and released. What is the displacement from the equilibrium position with the mass attached (in cm) after 0.46 s? Take up to be...

    Linear acceleration and angular acceleration

    A yoyo with a mass of m = 179 g. The inner radius of the yoyo is r = 2.60 cm, and the outer radius is R = 3.60 cm ICM = 9.70×10-5 kgm2

    Linear acceleration and angular acceleration

    i have torque is m*g*the outer radius = I* alpha but the answer I got was 651.7 alpha which does not make any sense for a yoyo.

    Linear acceleration and angular acceleration

    I do not know if I am misunderstanding you or what, but that is not the correct answer.

    Linear acceleration and angular acceleration

    How do you figure out the weight? Also the equation I have in my notes from the lecture, which I just double checked, is torque = I * alpha. Not I * a.

    Linear acceleration and angular acceleration

    Homework Statement How do I solve for linear acceleration or angular acceleration without one or the other? I am given the mass of the object (a yoyo), the inner radius, the outer radius, and Icm (moment of inertia at the center of mass). Attached in a picture of the problem...

    Analyzing the Motion of a Released Yoyo: Calculating Acceleration and Tension

    Homework Statement A yoyo with a mass of m = 179 g is released from rest as shown in the figure. https://s6.lite.msu.edu/res/msu/nagytibo/Mechanics/Rotation/Graphics/001a.gif" The inner radius of the yoyo is r = 2.60 cm, and the outer radius is R = 3.60 cm, and the moment of inertia...

    Physics circular motion, orbits, and gravity

    Thanks you so very much for your help! I really appreciate it! You were correct by the way.

    Physics circular motion, orbits, and gravity

    Ok, here is what I am thinking: Question 1 is true due to the fact that force is 1/9 or therefore 9 times the weight. Question 2 i also say is true because the same force would be acting on both big bird in orbit and Burt when he falls off the platform. Question 3 I know is true because they...

    Physics circular motion, orbits, and gravity

    Homework Statement ics Consider identical twins named Bert and Ernie who are visiting a star named Alpha Sesame. Bert is at a distance r from the star while Ernie is located a distance 3r. Both Bert and Ernie are stationary (they are standing on platforms built by an alien super race) and...
