Ok I think I got it. I am not sure if you have been solving it or not. I got 1.52 m. He doesn't put a lot of weight on the actual number, and I have every step detailed. One more question and you can sleep :) Part B, is it the vertical component we already figured out at .497 m/s?
We are allowed the calculators, but I don't have one. I will do it the old fashioned way. Once I get t, how is that going to help me figure the distance the trout traveled horizontally?
Equations
I have so many equations. Here they are:
Vyf2 = voy2 – 2g (yf-yo)
Yf – yo = voyt – ½ gt2
Xf – xo = voxt
Vyf = voy - gt
I typed them up nicelt using word. It is attached.
This is exactly what was given to me, word for word. I guess it would be free falling. How can I figure out the x component when I don't know the x distance? This problem is way over my head. This is my first physics class, I think this is a little difficult for Intro to Physics. Can you...
Velocity using quadratic formula- NEED HELP PLEASE!
Here is the problem:
An osprey is flying over a reservoir with a trout in her talons. Her speed is 4.21 mph and the reservoir is 12.76 feet below. She is flying at an angle of 15.32 degrees below the horizontal-
