kematics

A hockey puck just clears the 2.00-m high boards on its way out of the rink. The base of the boards is 20.2 m from the point where the puck is launched. a. given the launch angle of the puck (-), outline a strategy that you can use to find its initial speed Vo. b. use your strategy to find Vo for (-) = 15.0 degrees.

circular velocity

You detect a star that appears to be moving in a circle wth a velocity of 20m/s and a period of 70 days. It is assumed this motion is due to the gravitational forve by a planet orbiting the star. The mass of the star is 2*10^30kg. Determine the mass of the planet and its orbital radius.

force problem

Three blocks are configured as in the attachment. A string is attached from block #1 to block #2 (looped over a pulley), and the angle between the string going from mass #2 to the pulley, with respect to straight downward, is θ (block #2 is hanging there, not touching block #3). An external force F is pushing on block #3. ...continues
