Homework Statement The question gave a force applied on a block as well as a distance. It also gave the work done by friction which was negative. The question was to find the change in kinetic energy.Homework Equations Wnet = change in KE The Attempt at a Solution I found the work done by the...

I emailed my professor, and there was an error after all

Well then that would just further prove my point how horrible the physics department here is. Anyways, thank you for helping out as much as you could. I appreciate it

The only thing that’s not accurate is the exact wording. I remember all the key points. The question first starts off by saying a ladybug on a turntable begins to slip at .5 m/s. The next sentace said 1 point is awarded for drawing a free body diagram. The next sentence said 4 points are...

I’m seriously giving the whole question. My wording definitely isn’t correct, but I’ve provided everything. Maybe the quiz was messed up? I highly doubt it, but it could be possible

The quiz literally only gave velocity. I did not leave out any givens. The core of the question was slipping at .5 m/s velocity and find the coeff of friction. Everything else was useless info like draw a free body diagram

The quiz literally only gave velocity. I did not leave out any givens.

Wouldn't I be able to solve for r now since you gave me rpm? T = 1.8 and plugging it into v=(2pir)/T would give a radius of .14 meters. Now I can set umg = (mv^2) / r. M cancels out. After plugging in I get u = .18 Did I do this correct? Even if I did, it still doesn't help me because the rpm...

where did you get the 33 1/3 from?

Homework Statement I don't remember exactly what the question was because it was on a quiz today. It said something along the lines of "a ladybug is on a turntable and begins to slip at .5 m/s. Find the coefficient of friction. Homework Equations Fc = (mv^2)/r a = v^2/r Ff = uFn I think...
