The velocity v of a particle moving in the xy plane is given by v = (6.0t - 4.0t2) i + 4.0 j, with v in meters per second and t (> 0) is in seconds. What is the acceleration when t = 3.0 seconds? When is the acceleration zero? When is the velocity zero? W...

A star of mass 2.0 1028 kg that is 1.6 1020 m from the center of a galaxy revolves around that center once every 3.4 108 years. Assuming that this star is essentially at the edge of the galaxy, each of the stars in the galaxy has a mass equal to that of t...

What linear speed must an Earth satellite have to be in a circular orbit at an altitude of 186 km? What is the period of revolution? So GMm/r^2 = mv^2/r and I know that I need to solve for v but what do I use for the mass of the satellite? Do I just plug...

An old Chrysler with mass 1900 kg is moving along a straight stretch of road at 48 km/h. It is followed by a Ford with mass 1500 kg moving at 65 km/h. How fast is the center of mass of the two cars moving? m1v1 + m2v2= (m1+m2)vcm solve for vcm 55.5

The flywheel of a steam engine runs with a constant angular speed of 250 rev/min. When steam is shut off, the friction of the bearings stops the wheel in 2.1 h. At the instant the flywheel is turning at 75 rev/min, what is the tangential component of the...

A 2000 kg truck traveling north at 38 km/hr turns east and accelerates to 55 km/hr. What is the change in the truck's kinetic energy? What is the magnitude of the change in the linear momentum of the truck? What is the direction of the change in linear mo...

Posted by winterWX on Monday, March 19, 2007 at 11:54pm. A small block of mass m = 4.0 kg can slide along the frictionless loop-the-loop. The block is released from rest at point P, at height h = 23R above the bottom of the loop (R is the radius of the lo...
