    Determining the Acceleration (Two objects in contact)

    1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data 2 crates, 75kg(crate x) and 110kg(crate z) are in contact and at rest on a horizontal surface. A 620N force is applied on crate x . If the coefficient of friction is 0.15, calculate: a.) the acceleration of the system b.)the force that...

    How Do You Calculate Elevator Cable Tension for Maximum Acceleration?

    1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data An elevator(4850kg) is to be designed so that the maximum acceleration is 0.068m/s2. What are the minumum and maximum forces the motor must exert on the supporting cable? 2. Homework Equations Force = mass(acceleration) Forcevertical...

    Determining the Acceleration (Inclined Plane Problem)

    Homework Statement A crate lies on a plane tilted at an angle θ = 22.0° to the horizontal, with μkin = 0.12. a.) determine the acceleration of the crate as it slides down the plane b.) if the carton starts from rest 9.30m up the plane from its base, what will be the carton's speed when it...

    Tension Problems Given Two Weights

    Oh, now it all makes sense. I forgot the part where the bucket is at rest. Thank you so much! I understand everything now. :)

    Dynamics: Newton's Second Law_Tension_1

    Homework Statement *Note: I'm really stuck in this part of Newton's 2nd Law so I may be asking a few more questions after this to practice for our upcoming examinations. A cable supporting a 2125kg elevator has a maximum strength of 21750N. What maximum upward acceleration can it give without...

    Calculating Acceleration and Force in a Racecar: A Newtonian Approach

    I I looked at the problem again and there were no directions stated. And when i told my other classmates about the first part if i did it right, they said no and the answer should be 2.00m/s2.

    Calculating Acceleration and Force in a Racecar: A Newtonian Approach

    Homework Statement Here's the problem: A particular racecarcan cover a quartermile track (402m) in 6.40s starting from standstill. Assuming that the acceleration is constant, how many "g's"(all i know is that it means acceleration due to gravity) does the driver experience? If the combined mass...
