I've found M-k it is 0.16 how to find the acceleration? I can't solve it without the quetion telling me the mass of the kid!

I used the work-energy equation to solve this problem.Only the parallel component of force acts to accelerate the biker and increases K.E., so only the parallel component and frictional force does work on the biker. therefore, Net work done on a system = change in K.E $$(F_I{_I} + F_F) d...

I have a scene in a story where a full-size lifted bronco with 35” tires is sliding skewed down a steep sandy hill. The driver cranks the wheel upon seeing a ledge which fails to change the trajectory of the vehicle, now sliding on sandy gravel at about 20 MPH. The rim of the front wheel...

This looks like a physics question but it's not; it's an automotive question. Suppose you had a car at the top of a gently sloped hill, a 5% grade. You start it and put it in neutral or drive and it starts to roll down. You never place your foot on the brake or the accelerator and suppose the...

I have no idea how and what to do.

An ##n##-sided regular polygon is rolling down a frictional ramp at angle ##\theta## to the horizontal. I define ##\beta := \frac{2\pi}{n}## as the angle at the top of each of the ##n## isosceles triangles that make up the polygon. Let ##\omega_{k, 1}## be the angular velocity just after the...

i have no idea how did the answer come in conclusion...i guess that cosθ and sinθ is referring to the 2 dimensions of the acceleration ? but how? and why?

Time of flight is t = 2v sinθ /g = v/g for θ = π/6 so time to top of flight is t = v/(2g) I then constructed a right-angle triangle with θ=π/6 and opposite side of 130m and used tangent to get the adjacent side , ie. distance from cannon to hill to be 225.17m The horizontal velocity is v cosθ...

I decided to try and find a solution in a green (tilted) coordinate system. I started solving this problem with thinking about 1-rebound: ##⟹y=0, α=\text{angle under which we kick a ball}##; ##y=sin\alpha v_0t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2##; because I'm trying to solve this in a tilted system, I have to...

vy=vter + (vy0 -vter) e-th/τ where tau=m/b EQ 1 Okay, for part a, I used Eq 1 I let vy=vy(th)=0 --->The reasoning is that the projectile would stop moving for a short time when it hits the incline, but I have a feeling that reasoning is faulty I let vy0=v0sinθ Then the equation became...

Figure of the problem. There are many exercises like these, and I've read the whole chapter and I got no clue where to start here. Kinetic energy from gravity is: E = mgh = 39.3m I could try change v to ωr in the K equation but it will leave me nowhere because I don't have the mass nor the...
