    Solving for Speed: Chip Dipped in Dip w/ Radius .5m

    I didnt understand the problem myself. I asked the guy who made the problem up (another student) and he explained what he was asking. now i understand. He meant to say basically it is a fluid motion from bag down through dip and up to mouth. the dipping motion has the .5m radius. He was...

    Boat Hauling Skier: Calculating Acceleration

    Ok. Thanks. That makes sense. At least I had the right equation. Thanks for your help. The 30 degrees threw me off.

    Solving for Speed: Chip Dipped in Dip w/ Radius .5m

    Homework Statement a chip is dipped into dip and bottoms out in a circle with radius r. A flavor crystal on the chip is put under twice the normal gravity. If r = .5m, how fast is the chip traveling at the bottom of the dip. Neglect the mass of the chip. Homework Equations The...

    Final velocity for launched ball

    I found similar questions on the internet somewhere and with the questions it said there are more than one answer. I wanted to see if there really is more than one answer. Basically test opinions and see what i come up with. And really because of the lack of numbers, everyone really makes...

    Final velocity for launched ball

    2 questions(moved from previous posting) Homework Statement A ball (A) is launched straight down from a cliff while another (B) is launched straight up from the floor of the cliff. The final velocity for ball A is the inital velocity for ball b. Where will they cross paths? Up high, in the...

    Final velocity for launched ball

    what i think is happening is that on question 1, they are actually meeting in the middle since the intial velocity of the ball thrown from the floor is at the same final velocity of the ball dropped, do i make sense? the ball thrown from the floor is decreasing velocity while the ball dropped...

    Final velocity for launched ball

    A ball (A) is launched straight down from a cliff while another (B) is launched straight up from the floor of the cliff. The final velocity for ball A is the inital velocity for ball b. Where will they cross paths? Up high, in the middle or down low? Also, 2 balls are launched upwards...
