AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around two physics problems involving mass and velocity. The first problem involves a 200 g hockey puck launched up a 30° ramp with specific friction coefficients, requiring the calculation of its maximum vertical height after being launched at 96 m/s. The second problem features a 100 kg block released from a height of 1.0 m, taking 0.76 seconds to reach the ground, with the goal of determining the mass of another block connected by a taut string. Participants emphasize the importance of drawing free body diagrams and applying Newton's second law (F=ma) to solve these problems. Overall, the discussion highlights the need for structured problem-solving approaches in physics.

Ive got two problems that are driving me crazy

Homework Statement



3. A 200 g hockey puck is launched up a metal ramp that is inclined at a 30° angle. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the hockey puck and the metal ramp are μs = 0.40 and μk = 0.30, respectively. The puck's initial speed is 96 m/s. What vertical height does the puck reach above its starting point?


4. The figure shows a 100 kg block being released from rest from a height of 1.0 m. It then takes 0.76 s to reach the floor. What is the mass of the block on the left?

Homework Equations



f=ma

The Attempt at a Solution



i don't really have an attempt just a bunch of notes and calculations but i don't know how to bring it together
N=9.8*200sin(300) => 980n
well I am looking over it and don't have anything more than that i can't even tell what i was doing before. PLEASE help

Without an attempt, there's not much anyone can do to really help. I can tell you that for the second question, draw a free body diagram for each of the blocks, and since it is a taut string, the tensions T will be the same. Then use Fnet = ma, having found a using some basic 1 dimensional equations, and solve for m.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
