    Circular Motion

    If it breaks at its highest point it will travel horizontally first, but then reach the ground. It is 2R off the ground when it was released. OMG I GOT IT! Thanks so much! I just had trouble manipulating the equation. Embarrassing.

    Circular Motion

    1. Homework Statement A ball on a string moves in a vertical circle of radius R at a constant speed with a centripetal acceleration a. At its lowest point, the ball is a negligible height above the ground. After several revolutions, the string breaks at the highest point in the motion. In...

    Position of hockey puck

    1. Homework Statement At time t = 0, a hockey puck is sent sliding in the +x direction over a frozen lake, directly into a strong wind. Figure 2-13 gives the velocity v of the puck versus time, as the puck moves along a single axis. (The time axis is marked in increments of 0.25 s.) At t = 9.0...
