Homework Statement
A young student, dissatisfied with simply dropping fruit, decides to throw an apricot off a cliff. The apricot leaves the top of the cliff at a speed of 25 m/s and at an angle of 50° above the horizon. If the cliff is 310m tall, how far down range is the fruit when it hits...
n i also don't know wtf a magnitude is either. i am very very aggrevated right now, because i have put the textbook in front of me, and it is like i am reading spanish over and over again, and trying to figure out what it means. i don't understand a single thing. honestly
n i have no idea on how the velocity on this is given or w/e. like i said, this is my first time taking physics n i have not taken any math classes in a while... i never learned about displacement, velocity, or acceleration.
do u think i should take calculus first? my friend is taking calculus and he said that he's learning the same stuff. except his instructor actually teaches the stuff instead of throwing notes on the overhead
sigh. i guess i really am retarded
i don't know how to interpret ANY of that stuff. i took high school algebra and geometry and passed with A's. now this stuff is like chinese to me. i guess i should just drop the class
ok. i am taking an "INTRODUCTION" physics class. I have never taken physics in my life before.
the requirements for this class are high school algebra with a C or better (which i got)
and the guy throws story problems at us and doesn't explain how to solve them or the formulas. is this...
