You are to find the coordinates of a pebble stuck in the tread of a rolling tire that is rotating counterclockwise (i.e., in the positive sense) with angular velocity w. The tire rolls without slipping on the ground (which is at y=0 ). The outer radius of the tire is R. At time t=0 , the pebble is at the top of the tire, as show
The setter on the volleyball team receives a bump and sets a ball starting from net height (2.30 m above the gym floor) straight up with a velocity of 7.27 m/s. How high off the gym floor will the ball be when it reaches the pinnacle? If the ball fell from the pinnacle straight down how fast would it be moving when it hit the
It's first and ten. let's call the line of scrimmage the origin. The coach calls a dive (a straight ahead running play.) The line does a great job and opens a huge hole for the running back.
