This is probably a very very lame question, as it's probably a very basic concept, but I have been quite ill and missed wednesday through monday's physics lessons. Basically, if I have 2 soup cans- one empty, one with soup in it, and set them on an inclined plane, which will hit the bottom...
Well that's what the question is asking, and I assume that's displacement. Displacement in our book is
D= .5(Vi+Vf)t
I have Vi(2.4), and Wf would be 0 once it reached the top, but I don't know t. Am I using the wrong formula here? I have no idea what to do... :frown:
Whoops, sorry about the homework help violation...in such a rush to figure this out that I didnt see the rule.
I'm pretty sure he wants us to use a Free Fall kinda thing, with an equation like Vf=Vi+2(a)(t), but not all those factors are there. This is basic physics stuff, we're studying like...
Help me please I've been stuck on this problem for an hour now...
John throws and apple from a height of 1.3 m with velocity of 2.4 m/s. Will it reach his friend in a treehouse 5 m above the ground?
My book gives the answer "No, it will only reach 1.6 m," but I really want to know how to...
