I hated thermo. I had never completely bombed a test before that class. I should have failed but D get degrees!

ya i have looked into internships. my dad works at rockwell collins and hopefully i will be able to get one ther well see though.

Ok this is a beast homework problem.

A crate of mass m1 on a frictionless inclined plane is attached to another crate of mass m2 by a massless rope. The rope passes over an ideal pulley so the mass m2 is suspended in air. The plane is inclined at an angle

= 36.9°. Use conservation of energy to find how fast crate m2 is moving after m1 has traveled a distance of 1.4 m along the incline, starting from rest. The mass of m1 is 10.2 kg and the mass of m2 is 18.4 kg.

I'm trying to figure out what types of energy each have. I believe m2 only have gravitional potential energy but I'm unsure of what if m1 has kinetic energy. I know they both have to have grav potential. Right now I've concluded that that the Work for m2 = Work for m1.

I'm sitting here in the dark, infront of my computer, with my cal, playing rock and metal. Extreme Physics!

So I think the total work for m1 is 8.574J. Knowing that I dont think it matters what kinds of work m1 has done as long as the total work that m2 does is equal to 8.574J

Pysics 202 and Thermo were both bitches for me. If I can't see or touch something, I have a hard time visualizing it. I'm still that way. God Bless the curve!!!!

I got a 17% on a 'controls' class during my undergrad in chemical eng...it was a B. You should be proud of a 55%.

all this does is remind me of how happy i am to not do those ridiculous questions and get those ridiculous grades ever again!

my shining (academic) moment in college was getting a 120/100 on a Calc 2 test, the average was about a 70. I rocked that jaunk! If I were to take that test today, I'd be happy with a 40%

I was the perfect example of "learn how to do the stuff the day before the test, take the test, and forget the rest!" hahahahaha - only for the classes I didn't like though, I actually studied pretty hard and learned quite a bit about the subjects that interested me (information management, comp sci & business integration, SOX compliancy, etc)

+1 for computer science, I'll let the processer figure out the problems for me ;-)

On my last Physics test I got a 99%. The average score was 58%. We started out with around 70 people we're down to 30. I r got a 90+% A in the class WITHOUT a curve :D

You're making it way too hard. It's a basic conversion from potential energy to kinetic energy.
M2 moves 1.4m closer to the ground, M1 moves 1.4m*sin(36.9°) away from the ground.
Change in potential energy= m*g*delta h
m2 change = 18.4kg * 9.81 m/s/s * 1.4m = 252.7J
m1 change = 10.2kg * 9.81 m/s/s * -0.841m = -84.2J

Now that energy (252.7J - 84.2J) has been converted from potential to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is 1/2 m*v^2 so...
252.7-84.2 = 168.6 (total energy that is now kinetic)
168.6J=.5*(18.4+10.2)*v^2 (the two masses are tied together with the massless rope, they act as one object because one of them can't be moving faster then the other)
v^2=11.8
v=3.4 m/s

To prove this to yourself you can do it the old fashioned way, find the acceleration of m2, find the time it would take for it to move 1.4m, find speed at 1.4m. This is basically just an exercise in showing you that conservation of energy problems can save you a lot of work from doing a problem a different way.

What would the entire conservation equal be? Our prof is making is put every type of energy associated even if they come out to 0.

Like would

E1 = E2
U1 + K1 = U1 + K2
How would each equation cancle out to only be left with just Kinetic energy.

E1 = E2
U1 + K1 = U1 + K2
How would each equation cancle out to only be left with just Kinetic energy.

Total conservation would be
(U1,1) + (U1,2) + (K1,1) + (K1,2) = (U2,1) + (U2,2) + (K2,1) + (K2,2)
Total energy at the start equals the total energy at the end
K1,1 and K1,2 are both 0 because at the start everything is stationary, and you don't know what any of the potential energies are, you only know the differences.
So rewrite the equation like this:
[(U1,1)-(U2,1)] + [(U1,2)-(U2,2)] = [(K2,1)+(K2,2)]
[18.4kg * 9.81 m/s/s * 1.4m] + [10.2kg * 9.81 m/s/s * -0.841m] = [0.5*(18.4+10.2)*3.4^2]
[252] + [-84] = [168]
[168]=[168]
Thus, energy is conserved. Tada!
