  • A mass m = 17 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor, with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.04, for a distance d = 8.6 m. ?

    A mass m = 17 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor, with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.04, for a distance d = 8.6 m. Then the mass is continued to be pulled up a frictionless incline that makes an angle θ = 25° with the horizontal. The entire time the massless rope used to pull the block is pulled parallel to the incline at an angle of θ = 25° (thus on the incline it is parallel to the surface) and has a tension T = 28 N.

    1. What is the work done by tension before the block gets to the incline?

    I got 218.24, which is correct.

    2. What is the work done by friction as the block slides on the flat horizontal surface?

    I got 57.369, which is incorrect.

    3. What is the speed of the block right before it begins to travel up the incline

    I got 4.3, which is incorrect.

    4. How far up the incline does the block travel before coming to rest?

    I got 2.2, which is incorrect.

    5. What is the work done by gravity as it comes to rest?

    I got 70.48, which is incorrect

  • Country Song with the word "waiting"?

    So, I was in this dinner and I hear this great song. I've heard it one time before but i don't remember the name.

    Basically it was a country song and it had lyrics like "I've been waiting, waiting" or "he will be waiting, waiting" but I couldn't hear the rest because it was kinda of loud.

    It was slow and sang by a female. It kind of sounded like Miley Cyrus? I'm not sure but the song it sooo good and it's driving me crazy that I can't find it.

  • Univeristy of Maryland College Park or Towson University for Computer Science?

    I was accepted to both UMD and TU as a transfer. However, because cs at UMD is now an "LEP" (limited enrollment program), I was only accepted as a Letters and Science major. But at TU, I was accepted as a cs major. I m a little hesitant about the cs program at UMD being so competitive. I was never a fan of competition. And UMD is also really big.

    I want to have a cybersecurity specialization. I mostly want a school that ll give me opportunities and a good job (hopefully before I graduate).

    Here s the back story: I applied to UMBC, UMD, and TU. I got into TU and UMD but I need to wait until I send my final transcripts to UMBC to get a final decision, and UMBC is my top choice. But, I need to enroll to a college in case I don t get into UMBC.

  • cross country training on a treadmill?

    so i live in upstate new york and it is really cold during the winter. it is too uncomfortable to run outside in these temperatures.

    i took a year off of cross country, but i want to run next year in the upcoming season. i thought i should get training during the winter to get into shape, then start getting a bit more serious about times when i am able to run outside again.

    i was planning on training inside on a treadmill. i know treadmills are completely different from running outside, but its better than nothing, right?

  • How long does it take to complete a minor in college?

    I'm a freshman in my first semester of college and a computer science major. I go to a liberal arts school and, as a degree requirement, I have to take on a minor. I play the violin and I was considering a music minor anyways so I wasn't bothered by it.

    I'm planning to start working on the music minor during my sophomore year, but I just don't want to be in school longer than 4 years.

    Would I complete it within 4 years?

  • i think my dog hurt her hip?

    **i don t have a way to get to the vet right now like at this hour but i can go later i just need to know what to do for right now

    we were outside and she was running towards a bird but then she suddenly stopped and crouched over and started to squeal. i initially thought her stepped on something but her paws seems fine by the way she was walking-- she s walking normally.

    so i was feeling around and i got to her right and she squealed again. she s walking fine, like normal but not running.

    i took her inside and she s currently layon her the couch (on her LEFT hip) and i put a cold pack on her right hip and a blanket over her bc she s a SHAKING a lot.

    i noticed that like she can lay on her right hip (the injured one) just fine, and like hopping on and off the couch is fine for her??
