    Position of a particle given an equation for acceleration

    Homework Statement The acceleration of a particle is given by a(t)= - 2.1 m/s2 + (3.1 m/s3)t Find the initial velocity v0 such that the particle will have the same x-coordinate at time t=3.96 as it had at t=0. What x-coordinate will the particle have at time t=3.96 Homework...

    How to Find Vertical Displacement Between Two Jumping Basketball Players?

    Homework Statement Two basketball players are essentially equal in all respects. (They are the same height, they jump with the same initial velocity, etc.) In particular, by jumping they can raise their centers of mass the same vertical distance, H (called their "vertical leap"). The first...
