I am not saying that G is in error. At least not on a planetary level. I am saying that those slight differences at our level could show that there is a variable somewhere that may effect G greatly at smaller scales.
How can coulombs law have nothing to do with mass I thought force equals mass times acceleration. It would seem to play some role. Masses all contain charged particles so I figured there should be some + and - interactions on an atomic level. They just cancel each other on a large scale...
Thank you very much for replying.
It may sound silly but could a bounce not be considered a temporary repulsion. If gravity somehow aligns the atoms similar to an electromagnet then the part touching the ground would always be the opposite polarity of the ground. But when a bounce occurs the...
Please don't be too cruel. I obviously have to be doing something wrong but it seems to me that the gravitational constant may be a variable based on coulombs constant and an objects charge per mass. The formula I have found would be
G = Ke x ((Q1 / M1) x (Q2 / M2))
This would give a...
yeah I am not too fond of them either. I took this equation
(Vox*t)(Vox) + (Voy*t-.5*g*t^2)(Voy-g*t) = 0 divide both sides by t you get
Vox^2 + (Voy - .5*g*t)(Voy - g*t) = 0 you can create a quadratic with this
Vox^2 + Voy^2 - (.5*g*t*Voy) - (g*t*Voy) + (.5*g^2*t^2)
plug in g= 9.8; Vox=...
use the formula I had in post 21 for question c. your Vox and Voy are correct. I used this site to cheat. http://www.csgnetwork.com/quadraticcomplex.html. when you get the time just figure out your x and y at that time. AJ had it earlier on post 22. then use x^2 + y^2 = d^2 to get your distance...
really? what am I doing wrong. it seems simple enough.
ArcSin ((square root of 2 * 2)/3) = arcsin ((1.414214 * 2)/3) = arcsine (2.828427/3)
=Arcsine 0.942809 = 70.31.44 degrees according to my calculator.
Here are the answers I have
a. range of projectile: 115.020m
b. total time of flight: 9.70295s
c. time in which the projectile is farthest from its launch point: 5.55736s
d. farthest distance the projectile is from its launch point: 130.705m
e. the critical angle theta c such that for...
