Homework Statement
Question 1:During a walk on the Moon, an astronaut accidentally drops his camera over a 13.8 m cliff. It leaves his hands with zero speed, and after 2.2 s it has attained a velocity of 3.3 m/s downward. How far has the camera fallen after 3.9 s?
Question 2: A stone is launched straight up by a slingshot. Its initial speed is 18.8 m/s and the stone is 1.7 m above the ground when launched. (a) How high above the ground does the stone rise? (b) How much time elapses before the stone hits the ground?
Question 3:A 1.6-kg ball tied to a string fixed to the ceiling is pulled to one side by a force to an angle of 34.2° from the ceiling. The force is pulling the ball directly right.
Just before the ball is released and allowed to swing back and forth, (a) how large is the force that is holding the ball in position and (b) what is the tension in the string?
Homework Equations
question 1: I do believe i use basic equation of vy = v0y ayt and y = y0 + v0yt + 1/2 ayt2
Question 2: Same as Question 1..
Question 3: Tension = ma + mg
The Attempt at a Solution
Question 1: I tried to get the total distance it went for the first 2.2 seconds and tried to get the rest using the 3.9 seconds, but apparently its wrong.
Question 2: I tried to get time of how long it is in the air and used that to get the distance, but i keep getting wrong answers..
Quesiton3 : I am actually kinda clueless on question 3 so help would be appreciated.
