A block with mass 2 kg is hanging from a string that goes over a solid disk pulley with mass mdisk = 2 kg and radius Rdisk = 0.3 m with tension T1=11.34N between them. The other end of the string is attached to a massless axel through the center of an sphere on a flat...
Hi everybody,
The question is that we have two cars with similar specifications except that one of them is heavier than the other.
I was told that the heavier car can go faster on a steep because of more weight.
Is that true?
I'm trying to figure out what information I'm lacking that I need and what formulas to use in order to calculate velocities and accelerations in a car crash. For the first part of the crash, it was a sideways slide in grass, and I've got that part. Then the side wheels catch and the car starts...
How to Find the Probability of rolling at least 2 "sixes" in 6 rolls of a balanced die.
I am trying to solve using the Binominal Formula, P(X = r) = nCr p r (1-p)n-r
But am not really sure what the probability rates for success and failure should be or how to compute it.
Any advice?
Thanks.

When an ideal wheel rolls without slipping on a horizontal floor there is a frictional force exerted at the instantaneous point of contact between the wheel and the surface in the opposite direction to motion.
But this frictional force does no work on the moving wheel because the point of...
I'm very confuse about the idea of applying Newton's law of forces and torques on rolling body. The book shows that you can separate the situation in rolling into pure transition and pure rotation. However, what I don't get is, for the calculation of Newton's 2nd law of forces on pure...
Is it possible to make the coefficient of friction between a ball and an inclined plane low enough so that a ball will silde down the plane and not roll down the plane?
