    Calculating Impact Velocity Using Coefficient of Restitution

    YEs, I thought of that... but don't know the mass of the ball?

    Calculating Impact Velocity Using Coefficient of Restitution

    Hi all, I know this may see basic but how would I go about calcualting Impact velovity? The only information I have is: Height dropped, height bounced and from here I can calculate the CofR... But how would I go about finding impact velocity

    Calculate the pull on the high bar of a gymnast

    Calculate the pull on the high bar of a gymnast performing a giant swing. His angular velocity is 2 rads, his mass 80 kg and effector radius of rotation (distance from bar to CofG) is 1 meter Hi... I am a bit confused... "pull on the bar" would this be the work done on the bar to the person...

    Is There Any Net Force Acting on an Athlete Moving at Constant Velocity?

    So if he's moving at a constant velocity --- he's not accerating therefore threre is no force affecting his velocity?

    Is There Any Net Force Acting on an Athlete Moving at Constant Velocity?

    An athlete (mass of 50 kg) is moving with a constant velocity of 5ms. Determine the resultant force acting on him. If it's a constant velocity he is not acclerating? Therefore a = 0 m/s/s; F=ma F=50 X 0 = 0N? But there has to be a force dosent there? Would the force be equal to the mass...

    Torque is applied to a steering wheel of an automobile

    (Q) What torque is applied to a steering wheel of an automobile when the driver applies a force of 50 Newtons tangent to the circumference of the wheel? Diameter of the steering wheel is 40 cm. F = 50 N D (torque arm) = 0.40m T= Fd = 20 N... but its wrong... any ideas...

    Calculate Maximum Velocity of Girl on Swing

    Yes but it says what is her maximum velocity: So v=sqrt 2gh @ 1m = 4.43 m/s but v=sqrt 2gh @ 2m = 6.26 m/s ... (so this does not make sense to me...)

    Calculate Maximum Velocity of Girl on Swing

    So then this indicates that the max velcoity is at the higest point? I though max velcoity is at the lowest point??... but her velocity @ 1m using v= sqrt 2gh also = 4.43 m/s... so is the velcoity then constant?

    Calculate Maximum Velocity of Girl on Swing

    okay well.. the answer is 4.43 m/s... so v=sqrt (2 x 9.81 x 2) = 4.43m/s... aff yeas on reading the question it say's her velocity at highest point... Thanks for all your help... I undersatnd how to getthe answer ..but confused how it can be solved without a mass...

    Calculate Maximum Velocity of Girl on Swing

    rayquesto ... but this would make here velocity at the highest point faster than the lowest point... My undersatdning is velocity is at it/s max when d=1m...

    Calculate Maximum Velocity of Girl on Swing

    Okay, if PE = 9.81 J @ 2m above the ground... and energy is conserved, @1m above the ground all energy will become KE?; KE=9.81J? if I plug that into KE=1/2mv(sqr) I still can't comput an answer... I don't have mass (sorry... this is fustraing the ! out of me lol)... I understand...

    Calculate Maximum Velocity of Girl on Swing

    Hi all thanks for all you help... PeterO... the equations 1/2mv(sqr)= 0 = KE @ 2m? and mgh=0 = PE @ 1m? so.. PE + KE = C would be: mgh + 1/2mv(sqr) = c? im really confused... I don't think the question is intended to be this complicated... I think its trying to gte me to think about PE...

    Calculate Maximum Velocity of Girl on Swing

    All I can think of is the realtionship between energy conservation... So at 2m (max height ) Her PE = max and at 1m (min) her KE=max where her velocity is max and her PE = min/0j) If I use PE=mgh at 1 m; 0=m x 9.81 x 1 = 9.81 kg... Then KE at 2m = 1/2mv(sqr) = 0=4.91v(sqr) = 2.2m/s...

    Calculate Maximum Velocity of Girl on Swing

    The only issue i have using an energy formula is I don't have the mass? othwise I would use: PE + KE = C wt x h x 1/2 mv(sqr) = c then I would sub in C into: wt x h x 1/2 mv(sqr) = c, to find V...
