SUMMARY

This discussion addresses two physics problems involving mass and velocity calculations. The first problem involves a 200 g hockey puck launched up a 30° inclined metal ramp with static and kinetic friction coefficients of μs = 0.40 and μk = 0.30, respectively, and requires calculating the vertical height reached by the puck from an initial speed of 96 m/s. The second problem involves a 100 kg block released from a height of 1.0 m, taking 0.76 seconds to reach the floor, and aims to determine the mass of another block connected by a taut string. Key equations include Newton's second law (f=ma) and the use of free body diagrams for analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Newton's laws of motion
  • Knowledge of friction coefficients and their applications
  • Ability to draw and interpret free body diagrams
  • Familiarity with kinematic equations for one-dimensional motion
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the effects of friction on inclined planes in physics
  • Learn to apply free body diagrams in complex systems
  • Explore kinematic equations for vertical motion analysis
  • Investigate the relationship between tension and mass in connected systems
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on mechanics, as well as educators seeking to enhance their teaching methods in problem-solving related to mass and velocity.

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.
