Circular Motion Questions (energies, forces, angular velocities, etc.)
Question 1: I believe that the ratio would be b. 8:1 because by combining the formula for kinetic energy and momentum the expression Ek=p^2/2m can be obtained. Thus, for a body of mass 2kg with twice the momentum: Ek=2^2/2*2=1 For a body of mass 4kg with half the momentum: Ek=1^2/2*4=1/8...- lpettigrew

Forces on a crate with friction: find the normal force
I have attempted this problem by solving for the normal force. (16.73)(9.8)-51.25(sin)(49.1). I tried to work that out but it was incorrect because apparently the vertical force is zero. Could I get an explanation on what that means and where I should start?- Jujubee37
