Kinematics

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

Textbook Question

Chapter 10, Problem 74EAP

A sled starts from rest at the top of the frictionless, hemispherical, snow-covered hill shown in FIGURE CP10.74.
Find an expression for the sled’s speed when it is at angle Ø.

Use Newton’s laws to find the maximum speed the sled can have at angle Ø without leaving the surface.

At what angle Ø_m_a_x does the sled "fly off" the hill?

Three long, straight wires are mounted on the vertices of an equilateral triangle as shown in the figure. The wires carry currents of I₁ = 3.50 A, I2 = 5.50 A, and I3 = 8.50 A. Each side of the triangle has a length of 34.0 cm, and the point (A) is located half way between (11) and (12) along one of the sides. Find the magnitude of the magnetic field at point (A). Solve in Teslas (T). I₁
