    Brick Falling Off a Rising Pallet

    Oops.* So it should be"y = Vot + (1/2)at2 Vo = (y - (1/2)at2) / t Vo = (22 - 0.5*9.80*2.52) / 2.5 Vo = - 3.45 m/s So Vo is negative because it is going upwards and I chose downwards as positive. Now I use this in the second equation.* Again choosing down as positive V = Vo + at V =...

    Brick Falling Off a Rising Pallet

    Can I use y0= 0 and y = 22 if I choose positive as going downwards? So, y = Vot + at2 Vo = (y - at2) / t Vo = (22 - 9.80*2.52) / 2.5 Vo = - 15.7 m/s So Vo is negative because it is going upwards and I chose downwards as positive. Now I use this in the second equation. Again choosing down...

    Brick Falling Off a Rising Pallet

    It will be up; but I do not know its value. Or is it just Vo? Can I solve the 2 equations in 2 unknowns now? Is Vo the same for both of the equations? Thank you!

    Brick Falling Off a Rising Pallet

    Homework Statement A crane is in the process of lifting a pallet of bricks to the upper floor of a building. Suddenly a brick slides and falls off the rising pallet. You clock the time it takes for the brick to hit the ground at 2.5 seconds. The crane has height marking and you see that...

    Vector Addition for Displacement: Finding Magnitude and Direction

    So (95sin45)^2+(95cos45+125)^2=mag and the angle would be arctan (abs value[(95sin45)/(125+95cos45)]) south of west.

    Vector Addition for Displacement: Finding Magnitude and Direction

    Wait...is it safe to assume that when they say southwest they mean exactly 45 degrees between west and south?...I am going to bank on that being the case. Edit:Thanks Dick! It took me awhile to type that...but it appears you confirmed my idea. I should be able to get this from here.

    Vector Addition for Displacement: Finding Magnitude and Direction

    Homework Statement I am not sure where I am having trouble here. A car id driven 125km west and then 95km southwest. What is the mag and direction of displacement?Homework Equations Triangle method says that if I draw the vectors from tip to tail, the displacement vector is the vector that...

    Solve IQ Test Problem: Percent Adults Qualifying for MENSA Membership

    The problem goes as such; The scale of scores on an IQ test is approximately Normal with mean 100 and standard deviation 15. The organization MENSA, which calls itself "the high-IQ society," requires an IQ score of 130 or higher for membership. What percent of adults would qualify for...
