after typing out the question, I may ahve already seen my error, I just calculated the magnitude of the distance from the origin, not its actual speed.. funny how asking the question makes you see things

Homework Statement Four particles are in a 2-D plane with masses, x- and y- positions, and x- and y- velocities as given in the table below: M X Y Vx Vy 1 8.9kg -2.6m -4.8m 3.2m/s -3.9m/s 2 7.9kg -3.4m 3.6m...

Ok, I am extremely new at verilog and have a very basic question. forgive how elementary this is. I have about 5 commands between a "begin --- -- -- -- end" scenario, but what I need is for it to lag about 2 seconds between each command ie, execute a, wait 2 seconds, execute b, wait 2...

Ok, so, forgive me if these questions are remedial, physics is not my strongest subject. So: If, knowing the total coeffeicient of friction (of the pivot point, as well as the air resistance) what equation would represent total time until the pendulum comes to rest?

Ok, my mind has gone blank. What equation do I use to calculate the time a pendulum will take to come to a complete stop?.. I have all variables, length of string, angle it was released, etc.. I know the equation for period, but how do I figure how long till it stops from DAMPENING effect...
