Physics Aviary: Practice Problems: Radar Vector Problem

In this problem you must determine the intensity of a sound wave when it reaches a given location away from its source.

In this problem you will have water flowing through an underground pipe and then passing into a ground level nozzle to create a fountain. Based on the pressure in the pipe you will find the speed of the water in both sections of the pipe...

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.

In this problem you must determine the height of a firework explosion above the ground.

In this problem you will have a tank of fluid get punctured and you will need to find the landing location of the fluid. The tank in which the fluid is housed is pressurized above the value of the atmospheric pressure.

Determine the amount of mass that you must place on a plank to allow you to walk to the end of the plank without cause it to rotate off the ship. An accompanying video explains the problem: https://youtu.be/1dFQL45hlkc

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...

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 predict how far Robin Hood will move horizontally as he first swings like a pendulum and then sails like a projectile into a lake below. This video explains the problem: https://youtu.be/4ZEmvPEJTW4
