    Calculate Mass of Balloon with PV=mRT

    Homework Statement A balloon contains 6000m^3 of helium at 28 degrees C. and 99kPa absolute. Just before launch determine the mass of the balloon. Homework Equations Determine the mass of the balloon. The Attempt at a Solution I think you might have to use PV=mRT but I am not...

    Mass-spring system with friction

    Well i know that KE is equal to 1/mv^2 and the potential energy of a spring is equal to 1/2kl^2. The work done by friction is going to be equal to μkmgl

    Mass-spring system with friction

    A mass M slides across a horizontal table. It collides with a spring, compresses the spring, and then the mass-spring system rebounds. This system can be used to find the spring constant k. When the mass first hits the spring at x = 0, it has speed v0. a.) Let the coefficient of kinetic...

    Work done by friction on an incline plane

    A block of mass M is being pulled up an inclined plane at a constant speed, by an attached rope that exerts a tension T. The block is pulled a distance L. The plane makes an angle θ with the horizontal, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is μk. a.)...

    How can I account for friction on a curved ramp for a snowboard jump?

    well its not really a question that i have to solve. I am doing a project where I have to determing the distance a snowboarder will go. I have taken into account the friction forces for the hill but I don't know how to take into account the friction for the entire curve of the jump.

    How can I account for friction on a curved ramp for a snowboard jump?

    I need to find the frictional forces and a snowboarder going off of a cuved jump. I know the coefficient of friction for the snow and the snowboarder is .05. The veolcity as the snowboarder is coming into the curved jump is: sqrt(2(9.8*100*sin(theta))-(.05*9.8*100*cos(theta))) I know...

    Calculating Velocity of Snowboarder Down Slope

    Need to find the equation for the velocity of a snowboarder going down a slope about to hit a jump. I know that the potential energy for going down the hill is mgh and that friction depends on the normal force which is mgcos(theta) and the distance going down the slope. I need to figure out what...

    Projectile Motion of an Exploding Shell

    A 75 kg shell is fired with an initial speed of 125 m/s at an angle 55 degrees above horizontal. Air resistance is negligible. At its highest point, the shell explodes into two fragments, one four times more massive than the other. The heavier fragment lands directly below the point of the...

    Amusement Park Centripetal Force Around A Loop

    The force at the top would be adding to each other while at the bottom they would be opposing. But how do u find the normal force?

    Amusement Park Centripetal Force Around A Loop

    In an amusement park ride called The Roundup, passengers stand inside a 18.0 m-diameter rotating ring. After the ring has acquired sufficient speed, it tilts into a vertical plane. Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.90 s. and the rider's mass is 58.0 kg. A.) With how much force does the...
