    Engineering Determining how far a body will move up an inclined plane and the time to reach the highest point

    I have an object that is going up the plane at 25 degrees to the right. It is going at 15 m/s. I drew a free body diagram of the object. I have a P force at 15 m/ s going up the direction at 25 degrees. I also have friction force going in the opposite direction of 0.25 * N.

    I have tried to used the drawing pad last night to show my work but I am having trouble using it.

    Engineering Determine the resultant of the coplanar forces

    For my magnitude of the resultant, the answer was R = √(100^2) + (200^2) = 223.62

    Engineering Determine the resultant of the coplanar forces

    I used Rx = 100cos(0) + 200cos(90) = 100. Ry = 100sin(0) + 200sin(90) = 200. tanO = Ry/Rx = 2. Therefore O(theta) = inv tan (2) = 64 degrees.

    Engineering Stone dropped from an ascending balloon takes 10s to hit the ground -- Find the height of the balloon

    ay = -9.8. Vy = -9.8 + v0*Sin0. y = -4.9*t^2 + v0*t*Sin0. By using formula of y, my solution was -4.9(10s)^2 + (10m/s)(10s)Sin0. I assumed that y was equal to 0. Since -4.9 is m/s^2 the answer would be -490m + 100m*Sin0. Therefore I assumeed Sin0 = 490/100.

    On my Engineering Mechanics Dynamics Book I am working on a problem that states: "A motorcycle travels along a straight road between two points at a mean speed of 30 m/s. It returns at a mean speed of 15 m/s. What is the mean speed for the round trip." The correct answer is 20 m/s. On working on...
