    What Is the Speed of a Wagon After Ascending a Hill?

    A 40.0 kg wagon is towed up a hill inclined at 18.0° with respect to the horizontal. The tow rope is parallel to the incline and has a tension of 140 N. Assume that the wagon starts from rest at the bottom of the hill, and neglect friction. How fast is the wagon going after moving 77 m up the...

    NSolving Friction Problem: m1, m2, 50N, .1 Coeff.

    so you have two boxes m1 and m2 with weights 12kg and 23kg respectfully, with a rope connecting the two and also a rope pullling m2 with force 50n. I know how to find the tension of the string connecting the 2 and acceleration but how do you do this with respect to friction where the coeff of...

    How Do You Solve These Challenging Physics Problems?

    ok this is a new subject and my teacher is just horrible, so any help will be great thanks 1. One cubic centimeter (1.0 cm3) of water has a mass of 1.0 e-3 kg. Determine the mass of 1.0 m3 of water (in kg). -I thought you would take the 1.0 e-3 kg and multiply it by 100 since you are going...

    How Do You Calculate Instantaneous Velocity in Acceleration Problems?

    This problem request the instanteous velocity at a given point which I have not yet discovered how to do, the problem is as follows... The engine of a model rocket accelerates the rocket vertically upward for 2.0 s as follows: at t = 0, the rocket's speed is zero; at t = 1.0 s, its speed is...

    How Do You Calculate the Meeting Point of Two Runners with Constant Velocities?

    This is my second day in physics class and we have merely learned the principles of displacement and velocity. I am having trouble using these principles in the problem which follows... Runner A is initially 10.0 mi west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.0 mi/h due...
