Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Jumping Joe Simple With Energy

Students must predict the landing location of a person jumping over a gap on their motorcycle.

Students must predict the distance traveled by a person on a BMX bike. The person will start with potential energy due to gravity and then convert it into KE. They will then hit a ramp and become a projectile. You have to predict how far...

Students must find out different things for a series of object's moving as a system with Friction.

Students must predict the KE added to the system when a Kuiper Belt Object is hit with an explosive charge. Students must first look at the momentum of each piece after the explosion to determine the original speed of the Kuiper Belt...

Determine the electric field at a point in the vicinity of a charge.

Students must calculate the maximum distance they can be from an soccer net and still hit a randomly generated target. The speed and angle of the kick will be generated randomly.

Students must find out different things for a series of 3 objects moving as a system.

Determine the total energy stored on a group of capacitors in a parallel circuit.

Students must find out different things for a series of object's moving as a system with Friction. In this problem students will be given both a static friction coefficient and a kinetic friction coefficient.

Students must predict the distance traveled by a person on a sled. The person will start with potential energy due to gravity and then lose some energy on a hill. They will then lose the remaining energy on a level surface. You have to...
