Click For Summary

Dr. Donald Luttermoser from East Tennessee State University discusses the principles of projectile motion in two dimensions, emphasizing the importance of understanding trajectories. The conversation highlights how various factors, such as initial velocity and angle of projection, influence the path of a projectile. The discussion also references HyperPhysics as a valuable resource for further exploration of these concepts. Understanding 2D motion is crucial for applications in physics and engineering. The insights provided enhance comprehension of the dynamics involved in projectile motion.

Thread 'Mousetrap Car Energy efficiency'

For simple comparison, I think the same thought process can be followed as a block slides down a hill, - for block down hill, simple starting PE of mgh to final max KE 0.5mv^2 - comparing PE1 to max KE2 would result in finding the work friction did through the process. efficiency is just 100*KE2/PE1. If a mousetrap car travels along a flat surface, a starting PE of 0.5 k th^2 can be measured and maximum velocity of the car can also be measured. If energy efficiency is defined by...
