    Determining kinetic energy, weight fallen & angular acceleration

    A 15 kg uniform disk of radius R = 0.25 m has a string wrapped around it, and a m = 5 kg weight is hanging on the string. The system of the weight and disk are initially at rest. When the 5 kg weight is released, it moves down and the disk rotates. Consider the point when the 5 kg weight is moving with a speed of 1.3 m/s.

    Constant Acceleration Factors

    "A runner hopes to complete the 10,000-m run in less than 30.0 minutes. After exactly 27.0 minutes, there are still 1100 m to go. The runner must then accelerate at 0.20 m/s^2 for how many seconds in order to achieve the desired time?" Here's what I've done: So far, the runner has gone 8900 m in 1620 s, which should give h

    Constant acceleration motorists

    "A speeding motorist traveling 120 km/h passes a stationary police officer. The officer immediately begins pursuit at a constant acceleration of 10.0 km/h/s. How much time will it take for the police officer to reach the speeder, assuming that the speeder maintains a constant speed?" First, I converted 120 km/h into 33 m/s.

    Simple conversion

    "A sprinter accelerates from rest to 10.0 m/s in 1.35 seconds. What is her acceleration in (a) m/s^2, and (b) km/h^2?" I got (a) right. Acceleration = 10/1.35 = 7.41 m/s^2. But I somehow screw it up when I go to do the conversion. Here's what I did: 10 m = 0.01 km 1.35 s = 3.75 x 10^-4 hr (1.35 x (1 hr/3600 s) So the s

    Coefficient of Static Friction-Glass Resting in Moving Car

    A coffee cup on the horizontal dashboard of a car slides forward when the driver decelerates from 44.4 km/hr to rest in 3.65 s or less, but not if he decelerates in a longer time. What is the coefficient of static friction between the cup and the dash?

    Force, acceleration, coefficient of kinetic friction

    See attached file for the graph. In the figure below, m1 = 10.7 kg and m2 = 4.15 kg. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.271. If the system is set in motion with m2 moving downward, what will be the acceleration of the system? I'm not sure how to factor in the coefficient of kinetic friction. Can you show me how to do

    Vectors and distance: How far in advance must rescue aircraft drop supplies

    See attached drawing in Word file. Please give me a step by step rundown of how to do it? "A rescue plane wants to drop supplies to isolated mountain climbers on a rocky ridge H = 227 m below. If the plane is traveling horizontally with a speed of 223 km/hr (61.9 m/s), how far in advance of the recipients (horizontal dista
