    Calculating Distance of a Ball Rolled on Flat Surface

    Still confused but here is my working. Looking at the link to the kinematic formulas I can see that I need to use x = x0 + (1/2)at2, I assume volt does not apply if I do not want to calculate how high the ball is hit. So let's say the acceleration was 25 m/s. x = 25 + (0.5)*25 * t2...

    Calculating Distance of a Ball Rolled on Flat Surface

    Once I have the acceleration, what formula do I need to use to calculate the decreasing velocity? How can I find out how far the ball will travel in total if I have accelaration but not time? Hope someone can help

    Calculating Distance of a Ball Rolled on Flat Surface

    Homework Statement I want to be able to calculate how far a ball has traveled when rolled along a flat surface at each second. Lets say the values are 2kg for ball, the force is 100N and co-efficient of friction is 0.2. Homework Equations F(n) = -mg a = f/m The Attempt at a...
