    Free fall with a partial time provided

    the time from when it passed the first sensor to the time when it passed the second sensor. v^2=v0^2-2g(y-y0) where V0 is zero, because it was dropped, and y= 0.65 (the bottom sensor) and y0= 2.15 (the top sensor) This?

    Free fall with a partial time provided

    so 1.5=-1/2gt^2 ? but now I'm not solving for anything becaaue I already know all these

    Free fall with a partial time provided

    the only one i have given on the equation sheet is y=y0+volt-1/2gt^2 or v^2=v0^2-2g(y-y0) I don't have anything else that includes a height distance.

    Free fall with a partial time provided

    We haven't used any equations with T or L in this course - unless they have called it something different, but I don't see anything on my eqaution list that would compare.

    Free fall with a partial time provided

    is it the y=y0+volt-1/2gt^2 equation? I'm confused because v0 would be zero since it was dropped, and I already know y values for this specific time, so everything in this equation is already known right?

    Free fall with a partial time provided

    I'm stuck on this problem, I've tried to follow techniques for similar questions, namely I seem to be struggling with these questions where I have to use an equation inside an equation. I've attached photos of my process so far, but obviously, I'm not getting the right answer because what I'm...

    Finding position at a specific time during free fall

    Would you still be able to go over this particular example, even just the steps and equations used? Obviously, I'm backtracking with the tutor to try and understand everything but I have the first quiz on Monday, while I don't expect to do well I can at least hope to get partial marks for being...

    Finding position at a specific time during free fall

    Honestly no, this is a first-year college course I'm taking and I haven't taken high school physics in over 8 years so I do not remember anything. this is chapter 2 of this course, the first chapter was just terminology, sig figs, and vectors. I'm totally lost and don't even know where to start...

    Finding position at a specific time during free fall

    i could calculate the velocity at the time given, but that's not helpful. I could calculate its distance on the x-axis at the given time? I'm honestly not sure.

    Finding position at a specific time during free fall

    Tried making many squiggles, I don't understand the concept of finding a distance or position based on a time for part of the flight. I have 2 other similar questions and I haven't been able to make any progress on any of them. I attached a photo of my scribbles, which are all obviously...
