    Find energy dissipated due to air friction in a thrown ball

    A 0.40 kg ball is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 30 m/s. The ball reaches a height of 40 m. Assuming g= 9.8 m/s^2, the energy dissipated due to air friction is : F=mgh m=0.40kg, g=10 m/s^2, h=40m, a= 30 m/s Not sure if I set this problem up right, and since everything is...

    Compressed spring and Hooke's law

    It is not pre-cal, the spring is compressed that obeys Hooke's law. Thanks for the quick responses. Goku I understand what you are saying. But Halls so Ivy I did not understand how you got 200x*2= 18

    Compressed spring and Hooke's law

    A compressed spring that obeys Hooke's law has a potential energy of 18 J . If the spring constant of the spring is 400 N/m, find the distance by which the sping is compressed. Please correct me if I am wrong, I'm not sure how find the distace. My work: k 400 N/m x=18J = 400 N/m/18...

    Wood block sliding on 25 degree angle

    A wooden block slides directly down an inclined plane, at a constant velocity of 6 m/s. How large is the coefficient of kinetic friction, if the plane makes an angle of 25 degrees with the horizontal?

    Minimum stopping distance problem

    A load of steel of mass 6000kg rests on the flatbed of a truck. It is held in place by metal brackets that can exert a maximum horizontal force of 8000 N. When the truck is traveling 20 m/s, what is the minimum stopping distance if the load is not to slide forward into the cab?
