    Finding Time, Distance, and Velocity

    I understand how you get the horizontal component but how did you arrive to the vertical one. -300 m cleared in 7.82 s is -38.3 m/s. Now -38.3 x 2 = -76.6. But what equation did you use?

    Density of the sun as a white dwarf.

    D = 1.99 x 10^33 / (4/3)(3.14)(7.5 x 10^8)^3 = 6.338 x 10^23 Seems to be wrong.

    Density of the sun as a white dwarf.

    D = 1.99 x 10^33 / (4/3)(3.14)(7.5 x 10^9)^3 = 2.09 x 10^11?

    Density of the sun as a white dwarf.

    Homework Statement In about 5 billion years, at the end of its lifetime, our sun will end up as a white dwarf, having about the same mass as it does now, but reduced to about 15,000 km in diameter.What will be its density at that stage? g/cm^3 Homework Equations D=m/v 4/3(3.14)r^3...

    Kinetic Energy of a wood on a spring?

    Homework Statement When a piece of wood is pressed against a spring and compresses the spring by 4.00cm , the wood gains a maximum kinetic energy K when it is released. How much kinetic energy (in terms of K) would the piece of wood gain if the spring were compressed 20.0 cm instead? K_2...

    Solving a Physics Mystery: Initial Speed & Height of Ball

    would it vcos(33)t= 121.92? 400ft = 121.92 m

    Solving a Physics Mystery: Initial Speed & Height of Ball

    Goes 400 ft in the horizontal direction. t=cos33/v Vsin33 - (.5) -9.8 * cos33/v = 0 Am I getting warmer?

    Solving a Physics Mystery: Initial Speed & Height of Ball

    Vx=x/t then 0=Vyit = 1/2gt^2 Vcos33*t = ? Vsin33 - (1/2)gt = 0 I think I am in the right track, still alittle lost.

    Solving a Physics Mystery: Initial Speed & Height of Ball

    I believe I will be using components of initial velocity. Still alittle lost on how to proceed. U0y = U0sin(33) U0x = U0cos(33)

    Solving a Physics Mystery: Initial Speed & Height of Ball

    Homework Statement A batted baseball leaves the bat at an angle of 33.0 above the horizontal and is caught by an outfielder 400 ft from home plate at the same height from which it left the bat What was the initial speed of the ball? How high does the ball rise above the point where it...
