Thank you for the feedback folks! I'll send some questions to the instructor to gather their insights and report back.

@erozb - I didn't consider it equation grabbing. I guess I didn't consider PE to be purely gravitational. I'm wondering what the formula would be for non-gravitational then? Like I said, I'm learning, so I appreciate helping me out with the train of thought. The 0 to 25 kph didn't provide a...

@erozb - My initial thoughts were translating from zero motion (potential) to dynamic motion (kinetic). Seemed like a logical choice to me, but then again, I'm a noob and am learning. I'm not sure what the issue with the problem statements are. Please let me know, but this is basically a...

Hello All, I am a freshman in Electrical Engineering at Eastern Michigan University taking Physics and looking to get some additional help as I navigate the complicated world of kinematics. I enjoy math and reading science fiction.

Hello All, I'm trying to figure out the above problem but don't know how to set it up and could use some help. For starting with the first question, I was thinking of doing PE = KE: PE = mgh = (10,000)*(9.81)*(1) = 98,100 kJ KE = 0.5m (v^2) = 0.5 (10,000)* (v^2) Sqrt(98,100 / 5,000) = 4.43...
