    Does the ball clear the fence?

    Sorry it took me a little while to get back, been working. I don't get weekends off very much :H The ball was thrown at a 45 degree angle. So it would also fall at a 45 degree angle.

    What is the diameter of the bicycle tire?

    good question... It's been a long day here at the power plant. I always tend to get confused when i try to solve for certain things. i was wanting to solve for "r" by multiplying both sides by 10. so now i am getting; 30rad/s = 10m/s / r r=10/30 r=.33 so that is just a radius. The diameter...

    What is the diameter of the bicycle tire?

    Homework Statement A bicycle tire rotates at 30 radians/s. If the bicyclist travels at 10 m/s, what is the diameter of the tire? Homework Equations I found; for angular speed, w=v/r and for linear speed; v=rw where v=m/s and w=radians/s So if i am thinking correctly, i already know my angular...

    Find the average force of friction

    OK, so then I know that t=3, and I(impulse)=20, If F is unknown then F=I/T= 6.66N
