    Equations describing a shaded region (inequalities)

    Homework Statement Question 42 in particular. Homework Equations No idea. The Attempt at a Solution The graph depicts an inequality of sorts, like y >= x and y >= -x as well as y <= x and y <= -x. Beyond these basic deductions (which are probably wrong also), I've not a scintilla of clue...

    Circular Motion Problem: An Adventure inside Spinning Cylinders

    Homework Statement A 60.0 kg person is stuck against the inner wall of a rotating cylinder. The radius of the cylinder is 10.0 m and the period is 2.00s. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction required to stop him from sliding? Homework Equations Fnet = (4m∏^2R)/T^2...

    Basic physics forces problem (f=ma)

    The mass of the sand---the magnitude of the applied force---can be increased by a infinitesimally small amount to cause acceleration; thus allowing for the approximation of the mass that the question requires?

    Basic physics forces problem (f=ma)

    Homework Statement A 28.0-kg block is connected to an empty 1.00-kg bucket by a cord running over a frictionless pulley. The coefficient of static friction between the table and the block is 0.450 while the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.320. Sand is gradually added to the bucket until...

    Pendulums with Mechanical Energy (conical pendulum?)

    Homework Statement The pendulum bob in Figure 6.11 must circle the rod interrupting its swing, and the string must remain taut at the top of the swing. How far up must the bob be raised before releasing it to accomplish these goals? Homework Equations Potential Energy = mgh Kinetic...

    Work Done on Motorbike: Calculating Force & Distance

    Gravity. Which on an inclined plane like this, can be divided into two components; perpendicular and parallel. Calculating the degree of the ramp I find 22 degrees by arctan1.2/3.0. Using cos22 x 1078 I find the perpendicular component of gravity,1000N, which is the same as the normal force...

    Work Done on Motorbike: Calculating Force & Distance

    Homework Statement A girl uses a 3.0 m long ramp to push her 110 kg motorbike up to a trailer, the floor of which is 1.2 m above the ground. How much work is done on the motorbike? Homework Equations W=FD where W is work, F is force and D is distance travelled. The Attempt at a...
