    Calculating Distance & Acceleration of Car Pulling 20,000lbs

    a car pulling 20,000pounds accelerate uniformly from a rest to a speed of 40 miles/hour in 12 seconds (a) find the distance (infeet AND miles) that the car travels during this time (b) find the constant acceleration in ft/s^2 of the car part a i get 480 feet is this correct i then...

    Calculating the Minimum Acceleration to Avoid Hitting a Deer

    Thought this was and interesting physics problem A driver ina gray 1972 Blazer traveling at a speed of 60 miles/hour sees a deer 100 meters away on the road. (assuming that the deer does not move in the meantime-maybe it stepped on some gum, cramped up, went deaf, or has a death wish : "I SHALL...

    Exploring the Effect of Fingering Position on Violin String Frequency

    which part is the end of the violin the shaft or the base... 1/3 towards the bottom you are going to get a rather low Hz

    Solving for Average Acceleration: An Automotive Example

    was wondering which formula I would use to solve this equation... a car traveling in a straight line has a velocity of +5.0m/s at some instant. After 4.0seconds, it velocity is +8.0m/s. What is it average acceleration in this time interval?

    Position & Velocity of Golf Ball Dropped from Empire State Building

    ok i think then i got the answer to you the prob... after 1.0seconds its speed is 9.8m/s after 2.0seconds its speed is 19.6m/s after 3.0seconds its speed is 29.4m/s and i haven't taken calculus yet just algebra 2 I'm a freshman in high school.

    Position & Velocity of Golf Ball Dropped from Empire State Building

    so all i have to do to get the answer is to multiply 9.8 by two and 3 there has to be more than thatim really trying to understand

    Position & Velocity of Golf Ball Dropped from Empire State Building

    i crunched a few numbers and I am coming up with this for the answer is this correct: after 1.0seconds its speed is 0.5m/s after 2.0seconds its speed is 1.0m/s after 3.0seconds its speed is 1.5m/s

    Position & Velocity of Golf Ball Dropped from Empire State Building

    i got 0.5m/s by solving for acceleration by dividing the change in velocity/over the time taken

    Position & Velocity of Golf Ball Dropped from Empire State Building

    no i do not know kinematic equations, but i do know a little about energy conservation...note: i have only been familiar with physics for about a week now.0.5m/s after 1.0seconds... possibly

    Position & Velocity of Golf Ball Dropped from Empire State Building

    how fast...9.8m/s this is where I am stuck i don't know... terminal velocity I am guessing so possibly 75mi/hr after 5 seconds

    Position & Velocity of Golf Ball Dropped from Empire State Building

    9.8meters after 1 second then is it doubled and tripled after 2 and 3 seconds

    Position & Velocity of Golf Ball Dropped from Empire State Building

    all i need is the equation to solve this problem... not the answer... i'm partially leaning toward, v=delta(d)/delta(t) a=delta(v)/delta(t)

    Is Black a Colour? Examining the Definition and Perception of Black as a Colour

    black is a color its as simple as that, little jimmy when he mixes all his colors together what does he get... oooh he gets black. Note black is not the absence of color.

    Position & Velocity of Golf Ball Dropped from Empire State Building

    Neglecting air resistance, calculate the position (in meters) and velocity (in m/s) of a golf ball that is dropped from the empire state building after 1.0s, 2.0s, and 3.0 s with the release point.
