quade 4 #28 March 13, 2010 Quote MathematicS Q.E.D So then a class in economicS gets shortened to econS? You're confused. The word mathematics isn't a plural but rather all encompassing. The shortened version should be just that, a simple truncation. No "S" is required. I realize that's how people in England use it, but fuck 'em. They also drive on the wrong side of the road. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broke 0 #29 March 13, 2010 Quoteyeah, i used 40. i forgot my formula sheet and my internet seems to be blocking any type of search for some reason.... thanks a lot biomechanics has absolutely nothing to do with my major, and i am terrible at math. this class was a bad choice Should have taken OrganicDivot your source for all things Hillbilly.

Just pull these out of the word problem and see if you can arrange them into a recognizable formula. Sometimes doing that will get you going in the right direction.

chriscalandro 0 #33 March 13, 2010 ok, one more for someone whose up for it... the skip of the canadian curling team exerts a horizontal force of 14n against the 20kg rock during his delivery. at this instant the rock is sliding across the ice, and the skip is not exerting any vertical force. the coeffcient of static friction between the rock and the ice is .06 the dynamic friction is .05. what is the horizontal acceleration of the rock. just the formula would be great... this is the last one, i promise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since the rock is sliding I think you use the dynamic coef. I don't think the static coef is needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chriscalandro 0 #35 March 14, 2010 the static is to get the object moving dynamic is after its moving (it takes more energy to start movement than to continue movement) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muff528 3 #36 March 14, 2010 Quotethe static is to get the object moving dynamic is after its moving (it takes more energy to start movement than to continue movement) OK...so the "skip" is not applying force continuously. Acceleration of the rock at the instant the force is applied is (Applied force - resistive force)/m (using static coef). After that, the acceleration is negative and the dynamic coefficient is used and is simply resistive force/m. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
