physics

If you wished to demonstrate the technical attributes of the material you could ask what it is that makes Fibreglass construction so useful in boat building in the first place - one issue is the ability to copy in general terms any type of hull and shape. And once a mold is made the ability to...

can someone please tell me the physics behind an SUV crash? i know that SUV's are prone to roll overs, but i need equations and the physics behind it. Like, force is exerted on the passenger because of the weight of the car, and stuff. Thankkkk you.

A blue car with a mass of mcar = 2020 kg and a yellow truck with mass mtruck = 9110 kg enter an intersection. The truck comes from the south at vtruck = 7 m/s, and the car comes from the west. When the two collide they stick together and slide at an angle of q = 42° north of east. What is the...

Particle Physics has become my religion. Does anyone else believe that "god" is in the subatomic interactions? I'm not just talking about Einsteinian physics, but post-Einsteinian quark-theory and the like. (For those not of the geek set) If we are not as solid as we think and we are...

I want to know which books I can pick up to help me with the physics and a good telescope for just stargazing. Help? I'm on a budget and I have prior knowledge with physics.. thanks?

How would you calculate the impulse required to propel a small satellite out of orbit and into space? Clarification: Let's assume the target is the moon.

related to physics plz? on his birthday

me at 25 km/hr. After the truck? passes, he throws a ball toward me at 55 km/hr relative to him. How fast is the ball going relative to me? Thank you for your help!

I am looking for games like OE cake, Burning sand and The Powder Toy...I have tried these out already so if anyone knows of any other ones, please reply to this... Thanks!

...from me at 25 km/hr. After the truck? passes, he throws a ball toward me at 55 km/hr relative to him. How fast is the ball going relative to me? I'm not sure how to figure this out. Thank you for your help!

A box rests on the (horizontal) back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface on which it rests is 0.24. What maximum distance can the truck travel (starting from rest and moving horizontally with constant acceleration) in 3.0 s without having the box slide?

A soccer ball is kicked from the ground. When it reaches a height of 5.85 m, the velocity is v=4.54i+7.13j m/s. The maximum height the ball reaches is 8.44 m. Determine the total horizontal distance travelled by the ball.What is the speed of the soccer ball just before it hits the ground?

Two boats start together and race across a 64 km wide lake and back. Boat A goes across at 64 km/h and returns at 64 km/h. Boat B goes across at 32 km/h, and its crew, realizing how far behind it is getting, returns at 96 km/h. Turnaround times are negligible, and the boat that completes the...

The speed of light is approximately 3.0 x 10^8 (that's 30 000 000) m/s. v = d/t so t = d/v time is distance traveled divided by speed However, remember that geosynchronous satellites orbit at the equator, and your reciever is at the pole, so you have to factor in the extra distance the signal...

named Desire travels between two sta? A streetcar named Desire travels between two stations 0.80 km apart. Leaving the first station, it accelerates for 11.5 s at 1.0 m/s2 and then travels at a constant speed until it is near the second station, when it brakes at 2.0 m/s2 in order to stop at the...

to remain over one spot on Earth...? A geosynchronous satellite is one that appears to remain over one spot on Earth. Assume that a nearly geosynchronous satellite has an orbital radius of 4.43 107 m. (a) Calculate its speed in orbit. ? km/s (b) Calculate its period. ? h Thanks so much!

Find the work required to launch a 1000-kg satellite vertically into orbit 1000 km high. You may assume that the earth's mass is 5000 x 10^24 kg and is concentrated at its center. The radius of the earth is 6.37x10^6 m and the gravitational constant is 6.67 x 10^-11 N*m^2/kg^2. (hint: convert...

A satellite of mass m is in a circular orbit of radius R2 around a spherical planet of radius R1 made of a material with density X. ( R2 is measured from the center of the planet, not its surface.) Use G for the universal gravitational constant. Question #1: Find the kinetic energy of this...

A satellite has a mass of 5650 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.6 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit is two hours. The radius of the planet is 4.05 106 m. What is the true weight of the satellite in orbit?

A 620 kg satellite orbits the earth where the acceleration due to gravity is 0.233 m/s^2. What is the kinetic energy of this orbiting satellite? I need to know how to do this...NOT the answer.
