How Can I Solve These Vectors and Kinematics Exam Problems?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on solving various physics problems related to vectors and kinematics, specifically for an upcoming mid-term exam. Key problems include calculating the magnitude of vector A based on its components, determining the initial speed of a ball shot vertically, analyzing the rotational angle of a crankshaft, and finding the initial speed of a bullet fired from a height. The conversation emphasizes the importance of showing attempts at solving these problems before seeking help.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of vector addition and subtraction in physics
  • Knowledge of kinematic equations for projectile motion
  • Familiarity with rotational motion concepts
  • Basic principles of forces and tension in a non-inertial frame
NEXT STEPS
  • Study vector addition and subtraction techniques in physics
  • Learn about kinematic equations for vertical motion, including time of flight
  • Explore rotational motion and angular displacement calculations
  • Review dynamics involving tension in accelerating systems
USEFUL FOR

Students preparing for physics exams, educators teaching kinematics and vector analysis, and anyone seeking to improve their problem-solving skills in physics.

can someone please help me with these questionss... i have exam this week and i really need to know hwo to solve these problems. please... thank you and ya.. i do have the answers for it but i just can't get it when i try to solve it these problems are from my mid-term exam


(1) if B is added to A, the resultant has a x-component of 6 and a y-component of 1. if B is subtracted from A, the resultant vector has a x-component of -4 and a y component of 7. what is the magnitude of A?


(2) A ball is shot straight up from the surface of the Earth with an initial speed. neglect any effects due to air resistance, find the intial speed of the ball if the ball was in the air for 2 seconds?


(3) a crankshaft of radius 0.3m rotates at a speed of 1.2 m/s. though what angle does it travel in 1/2 minute.



(4) a bullet is fired with a horizontal velocity in the positive x direction from the top of an 80 m high cliff. the bullet strikes the ground 1330 m from the base of the cliff. find the initial speed of the bullet.


(5) a 5.0 kg object is suspended by a string whose mass is negligible from the ceiling of an evelator that is acceletaring downward at 2.6 m/s square. what is the tension in the string?


(6) a block is pushed up a frictionless 30 degree inclined by an applied force. if F=25 N and M=3.0 kg, what is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration of the block?

Hi,

I'm sorry but we cannot help you until you show some of your attempts first. .
