Homework Help Overview

The original poster presents multiple physics problems involving kinematics, including uniform acceleration, projectile motion, and displacement in two-dimensional motion.

Discussion Character

  • Mixed

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the need for basic kinematic equations and the original poster's lack of familiarity with them. There is an emphasis on the requirement to show work and make attempts at the problems.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with some participants encouraging the original poster to refer to their textbook for assistance. There is a recognition of the need for the original poster to engage more actively with the problems presented.

Contextual Notes

The original poster expresses uncertainty in physics and indicates a lack of resources, such as a textbook, to aid in understanding the problems.

A car starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 72 km/h in 5 seconds. Assuming uniform acceleration, what is the acceleration in meters per second squared?

A ball is thrown straight up witha speed of 36 m/s. How long does it take to return to its starting point?

Barbara travels 20 km Northward, then travels 40 km Eastward, then continues for 50 km in a Southward direction. What displacement will now take her back to her initial position?

Do you know any basic kinematic equations?
 
No, not without the book. I'm not good in physics at all...
 
OK, so use the book until you've learned them.

We have a policy here, which is posted at the top of the Homework section of PF. It states that you have to make an attempt at your problems and show your work in order to receive help.

So let's have it! :biggrin:
