No, I don't know that, but I believe we will try something like this. http://youtu.be/EQM3NvbK1fE Creating a flap that will remain closed on the way up and open and deploy the parachute at its peak... Opinions? Thanks

In AP Physics B, for our physics olympics, for one event, we are required to make a paper rocket that will be launched straight up in the air by an air compressor and pump. (60 psi) We have already assembled the paper rocket, with one cylinder of paper, a cone paper nose, and a load of tape to...

Yes! I just entered the answer and it is correct. Thank you both.

Thank you both. Would I use the equation Vmax = xMax * sqrt (k/mass)?

Sorry, I'm only a soph in high school, barely taken trigonometry. Would you explain this a bit more, please? Thank you

Thanks. So, f(t) = (2m/s) (.14) to find the time? Something like this?

Homework Statement At an outdoor market, a bunch of bananas is set on a spring scale to measure the weight. The spring sets the full bunch of bananas into vertical oscillatory motion, which is harmonic with an amplitude 0.14 m. The maximum speed of the bananas is observed to be 2 m/s. What is...

Oh yes, I was overthinking it. Thank you all for the help

Thank you very much for answering. How would the magnitude be affected? Would the buoyant force be in half? Or something of that nature.. Thanks

Yes I know how to use fbds, however only half of the rubber stopper is in the water. It is not submerged. For the submerged experiment, I would do T equals W minus Force buoyancy. But when only half of the stopper is in the water (and it is not floating, it's being suspended by the string), how...

Hello, if I were to suspend a rubber stopper into a graduated cylinder filled with water, with the stopper half in the h2o and half out of it, how would i calculate the tension in the string? Experimentally, i would collect the displaced volume, density (1000kg/m3), and mass of stopper. I am...

~~Conceptual Normal Force Question~~ Hello! Suppose there is a meter stick suspended from and parallel to a table. On one end, the meter stick is held up by a piece of string at an angle. On the other end, the meter stick is held up by a metal thing about 10cm tall, simply allowing the stick...
