I don’t have any to go off of. I’m reviewing physics (haven’t had it in 5 years) and am stuck on this type of problem, so additional help would be appreciated. ThanksNugatory said:What equations have been mentioned in class or your textbook so far? Look at them, think about what they mean, one or more of them will be relevant.
It is a constant acceleration problem. Read https://www.ncl.ac.uk/webtemplate/a...mechanics/kinematics/equations-of-motion.html.brslagle said:Homework Statement: An amusement park ride launches a rider at an
angle of 90 degrees to the horizontal, with an initial
velocity of 50 m/s. Ignoring air resistance, what
will be the rider’s height at t = 1.5, t = 4 and t = 6
seconds?
Relevant Equations: unsure
dont know where to start. Other than it will take 5 seconds for v = 0m/s
Alternatively, try the Khan Academy. It seems you need a course in physics, not just a bit of help:brslagle said:I don’t have any to go off of. I’m reviewing physics (haven’t had it in 5 years) and am stuck on this type of problem, so additional help would be appreciated. Thanks
Google for “SUVAT equations “. They relate speed, distance, and acceleration.brslagle said:I don’t have any to go off of. I’m reviewing physics (haven’t had it in 5 years) and am stuck on this type of problem, so additional help would be appreciated. Thanks
That's why I recommend Khan Academy. That's a reliable source for SUVAT.Nugatory said:Google for “SUVAT equations “. They relate speed, distance, and acceleration.
Thanks so much! That got me where I needed to be.Nugatory said:Google for “SUVAT equations “. They relate speed, distance, and acceleration.
Thanks. The SUVAT problems were the only questions I was having issues on, so I dont think an entire course is necessary, but thanks for the suggestion.PeroK said:Alternatively, try the Khan Academy. It seems you need a course in physics, not just a bit of help:

When decreasing velocity, the distance traveled will decrease as well. This is because velocity is the rate at which an object's position changes over time, so when it decreases, the object is covering less distance in a given amount of time.
Not necessarily. If the object is initially moving at a high velocity and then decreases to a lower velocity, the distance traveled may still be greater than if the object had started at the lower velocity. However, if the object is continuously decreasing in velocity, the distance traveled will also decrease.
The longer it takes for the velocity to decrease, the greater the distance traveled will be. This is because the object is moving at a higher velocity for a longer period of time, covering more distance in that time.
Yes, this is possible. When an object is decreasing velocity, it is still moving forward and covering distance, whereas when it is increasing velocity, it may be starting from a stationary position and covering less distance in the same amount of time.
Acceleration can affect the distance traveled when decreasing velocity in a few ways. If the acceleration is in the opposite direction of the velocity, it can decrease the distance traveled even further. However, if the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity, it can counteract the decrease in velocity and potentially increase the distance traveled.
