I worked through the problem again and understood what you were saying earlier :) I solved for the adjacent and then did delta x= vi*t+1/2(a*t^2). ended up with 1.60 s as the final answer and was right. Thank you :3.

Thank you for your response! It seems i screwed up a basic conversion, what I meant to say that it was 361.11 m/s.' EDIT: However, i am still unsure where to take this problem with the information listed above.

Homework Statement A pilot flies horizontally at 1300 km/h, at height h = 76 m above initially level ground. However, at time t = 0, the pilot begins to fly over ground sloping upward at angle θ = 7.5° (see the figure). If the pilot does not change the airplane's heading, at what time t does...

Increasing :eek:? EDIT: i worked with a friend on it and found out that I had to use the formula Deltax = Vi*T + .5(at^2) to solve for a. after i found that a= 2(xfinal - xinital)/t^2. I then plugged in values for 1-2, and got 4.8 m/2^2. I didn't plug in 0 seeing as 0 would have just gotten me...

I believe it is moving in the positive direction in that scenario :O?

Thank you for your response :)! I believe it starts accelerating negatively, but then when it crosses the x-axis it starts accelerating positively. am I on the right track here?

Homework Statement The figure depicts the motion of a particle moving along an x axis with a constant acceleration. The figure's vertical scaling is set by xs = 7.20 m. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the particle's acceleration ( +x or -x )? Homework Equations The Attempt...
