  3. I thought gravity was -9.8?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Gravity is -9.8m/s^2;
    Now, saying that, here is the caveat.
    It can be considered a +9.8 as well, depending on how you establish your vectors.
    An example would be to consider a hole in the ground. If we say that moving into the hole is increasing our distance from earth's surface, that would imply that moving upwards is going at a negative distance from the surface. In both of these cases we would consider gravity to be +9.8; because the direction of force is the direction of positive displacement.

  5. Also, I'm not sure what question you're asking about, but I would also add this:
    in the eqyation Delta X = Vi(t)+(1/2)a(t^2),
    If a = gravity, then you may see me skip a step on the arithmetic and simply put 1/2a as -4.9

    LMK If this helps.

  6. On question #12 you got a different answer because at about 12:00 your 84.265 morphed into 84.765 due to mad hand writing.. I should probably get an award for noticing.

    1. Yeah, and at 14:35 the answer comes up and I'm like, "that's not the answer I got the first time I worked this out... But I think it was a rounding error"
      NOPE! Just a handwriting error!

    1. Kenneth...
      I typed the complete answer below. Hope this helps

  9. Kenneth Borger,
    I. The simple answer is: Use newtons second law to set up two equations:
    1. Equation for m1
    (m1)g - T = (m1)a
    2. Equation for m2
    T - (m2)sin(theta) = (m2)a

    II. Then you add the two equations together to cancel out the "tension"

    (m1)g - (m2)g * sin(theta) = (m1 + m2)a

    III. Solve for acceleration and then plug in your numbers.

    ((m1)g - (m2)g * sin(theta)) / (m1 + m2) = a

    ((10 X 9.8) - (4 X 9.8 X sin(34))) / (10 + 4) = 5.43426

    If you're getting an answer of 5.518568 then you have your calculator set to RADIANS instead of DEGREES.

    (34 radians = 1948.057 degrees). Since 34 Radians is like going around a complete circle 5.411268 times, then you'd actually be calculating 148 degrees.... And because the math for 148 degrees is the same as 32 degrees, you get pretty close to the same answer, in this case (Usually doesn't work out like that).

  10. On number 18, why do we subtract the normal force of m2 with the kinetic friction of m1's normal force? Because it is the object being subjected to the friction, I know, but why are we subtracting the kinetic friction from the normal force of m2?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Jordan, I'm not sure I follow you. m2 does not have a normal force. The normal force is equal to the force that is being applied by the ground. m2 is suspended in the air, therefore there is no normal force being applied.

      You may be asking why we subtracted the force exerted by m1 from the force exerted by m2.
      - in this case, m1 is providing only a force via friction
      - m2 is exerting a force via mass and gravity

      Why I'm subtracting is, I'm following newtons law
      - The sum of all forces is equal to the total mass multiplied by the acceleration
      -- (Sum of all forces) = (m1+m2)a

      Since the forces are in opposing directions (vectors), it's customary to define one of the forces as a negative force and the other as a positive force. I was not clear on this step, so I apologize

      I'm simply defining the direction of movement as the positive vector, so the force applied by friction (in the opposite direction) would be the negative vector
