Solve Energy Conservation Q | Get Help Now!

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user seeking help with a physics question related to energy conservation, but the forum moderators emphasize that it must be posted in the homework section due to forum rules. The user insists that the question is not homework but rather a preparatory question from a university resource. Moderators clarify that any question resembling typical schoolwork must adhere to the designated posting guidelines. They also note that conservation of kinetic energy may not apply to the user's scenario. The thread is ultimately closed for moderation due to these rule violations.

Welcome to PF, Norules!

Unfortunately, we have rules here, Norules. If this is a homework question you should post in the homework board and use the template.

It is difficult to figure out what the question is let alone what you are doing. Please state the question and explain your answer. Then we may be able to help you out.

BTW, if you are trying to use conservation of kinetic energy here, it will not work in this collision.

This is no homework question and I am well aware of the regulations in this forum ,it is a question that i found in my university's resource center in preparation for my test. You mentioned you did not fully understand the question well that' all there is to it and I have attached a file(.docx) of the question please check.

Please read this Sticky thread in its entirety.

This rule applies even if your question is not formally part of a HW/Coursework. Any type of question that has the same resemblance to that covered in a typical schoolwork must be posted in that forum, not in here.

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...
Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario
Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
