Scalar componets of a vector

The force of magnitude 24Squareroot2 Newtons makes an angle of 225 degrees with the positive x axis. Find the x and y scalar components of the vector.

Speed of an object

An object initially at rest is droped from a height of 20m. What is the speed of the object when it hits the ground? assume g=9.8m/s^2

Ballistics cart on an incline

In a demonstration known as the ballistics cart, a ball is projected vertically upward from a cart moving with constant velocity along the horizontal direction. The ball lands in the catching cup of the cart because both the cart and ball have the same horizontal component of velocity. Now consider a ballistics cart on an inclin ...continues

(See attached file for full problem description) --- 1. A mass is hung from ropes as shown in the diagram. The rope on the left has a tension T1 = 10.0 N. (A) Draw a free-body diagram of the knot where the three ropes meet. (B) Find the tension T2 in the right-hand rope. (C) Find the mass which is hanging. (Answers: T2 = 27. ...continues

Physics

Leonardo da Vinci, in the fifteenth century, formulated a different law of motion. He proposed that the distances fall in successive equal intervals of time are proportional to the consecutive integers. That is, suppose that, starting from rest, a body falls one foot in the first time interval. Then the body will traverse two fe ...continues

(See attached file for full problem description) --- 1. Give an example of a situation in which there is a force and a non-zero displacement, but the force does no work. Explain why it does no work. 2. What is a conservative force? 3. (a) Calculate the work done on a 1500 kg elevator by its cable to lift it 40.0 m at con ...continues

Find the work W = F · dr done on the object by the force...

Here is the problem: I don't understand what x and y in the force is for. Please show full solution A force F = (4x i + 4y j) N acts on an object as it moves in the x direction from the origin to x = 4.94 m. Find the work W = F · dr done on the object by the force.

Motion in a straight: 6 problems

1. Calculate the average speed of the Earth in its orbit about the sun. (The radius of the orbit is 1.5 x 10^11 meters.) Give this in m/s and in miles/h. Now, what is the average velocity of the earth, averaged over one year's time? 2. Is it possible for speed to be constant while acceleration is not zero? Give an example. ...continues

2 Physics Problems

(See attached file for full problem description with diagram) --- 1. Suppose we roll a ball off a table, at a speed of 2.0 m/s. This means that the initial velocity is completely horizontal; there is no initial component of velocity in the vertical direction. The table is 1.3 meters high. (A) How much time does it take the b ...continues

Physics Questions

1. (a) What is the momentum of a 1.20 x 10^4 kg garbage truck moving at 30.0 m/s? (b) At what speed would an 8.00 kg trash can have the same momentum? 2. One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far grea ...continues
