    Inclined Plane, Centripetal motion: Find the Velocity that suits the Turn

    So here is what is going on in my mind: We have a turn that is 400m away from the center of the turn. The faster the car goes, the harder it is for it to maintain its radius. We have a component of the normal force that points towards the center, and static friction which does the same. I...

    Spring Problem On inclined plane without numbers, only variables

    So we know that all the energy originates from the spring: E(spring) = (1/2)kd^2 As the block moves up the ramp, friction does work on the block over a distance of 2d: W = μmgcos(θ)* 2d So subtracting the work done by friction from the spring energy, gives us the energy left, so we'll set it...

    Projectile motion over an inclined plane

    I have attached below the solution provided by the textbook. I understand the whole solution, except when they divide the horizontal component and the vertical component and equate it to the tangent of 30. What seems strange to me is that, while initially the equation for the vertical component...

    Where does the plane exist in this parallel axis theorem?

    ##I_{AB} = I_{GXX} + A.(y^{2})## Same applies to CD; ##I_{CD} = I_{GYY} + A.(x^{2})## In the above statement, "any axis in its plane" where does the plane exist in this sketch?

    What is the significance of neglecting the encircled sides in Ampere's law?

    This is a very basic issue but really important as well. The rectangular loop has length ##l## and width ##h##. I have seen the argument of neglecting the encircled sides of the loop because ##h << 1## while using Ampere's law to calculate the magnetic field flowing over a plane. I find this...

    Inclined Plane Problem with Kinetic Friction

    I tried to find the force of friction using the the coefficient of kinetic friction with the equation F=nukmgcos Ѳ. Then I made the force of friction equal to the force of pull. I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I'm getting the wrong answer. I have attached a picture of my work.

    How does trigonometry help determine the gravity component on an inclined plane?

    Since gravity is acting downward, I found the gravity component parallel to the plane, which was g/sin60. I substituted g/sin60 for g into that equation and got D, but the answer should be C.

    Why the projection of S on the xy plane cannot be used?

    I don't understand why we could not use the 1/4 of the circle lying on the xy plane as R. In the exercise it is not explained. The idea would be taking the arc length. I know it is not easier than making your projection on the xz plane, but just wondering if this is possible. I guess it is not...
