I think you're right. The way the question is phrased in your book sounds a lot like the way my teacher said it. (Sorry; he dictates the questions to us and we're just supposed to jot down whatever we hear.)
In that case, I have no idea how to answer the problem. :( I realize that in this HW...
Homework Statement
A rocket is launched at an angle that is 53 degrees from the ground. It travels at an initial velocity of 25 m/s, and after a certain point, begins to fly at a constant speed of 25 m/s for 25 seconds. After 25 seconds, the rocket experiences failure and begins to crash...
So every problem isn't different? Oh. We were taught in Physics class that every problem is.
Thanks so much for your help. I will take your advice and check out other problems on the forum. :smile:
arildno,
Thank you for helping me solve the problem. While I understand how you arrived at the answer, as you probably know, every physics problem is different. Is there any technique I can use, or any tip you can provide me when solving future problems and more complex problems using the...
I am in a 12th grade Physics class and in the beginning of the year, we learned the calculus based equation: [f(x+h) - f(x)]/h. I understand that I am trying to simplify/solve for the answer when H goes to 0 (h -> 0), and I understand that I must substitute f(x) into the given fields f(x) and...
