    Quadratic Equation - I don't know how to put this in a formula

    3. Two platforms 50m in height have pigs on them. The bird succeeds in impacting with both of these. S=ut + ½ at2 can be rearranged into the form: ½ at2 + ut – s =0 This is a quadratic equation. [ ax2 + bx +c =0 ] Use this to calculate: I. The times at which the bird impacts...

    How Do You Calculate Velocities in a Three-Ball Elastic Collision?

    Mass; Ball A = 0.5 kg Ball B = 0.782 kg Ball C = 0.386 kg No friction just that ball A is moving at 3.5ms on a flat surface

    How Do You Calculate Velocities in a Three-Ball Elastic Collision?

    Homework Statement The first ball (A), of mass 0.5 Kg is rolled towards the second (B) at a velocity of 3.5 ms. Ball B then impacts ball C. Assume this collision is perfectly elastic. Calculate: a. The velocity at which ball A recoils after impacting with ball B. b. The velocity...
