    How Does a Proton's Velocity Change in a Uniform Electric Field?

    Homework Statement 1. A uniform electric field is directed towards the east with a magnitude of 10 N/C. A proton, moving with a speed of 10^5 m /s, enters the field traveling parallel to it. The proton covers a distance of 4 cm while in the field. Find the proton’s final velocity as it leaves...

    Hi I with a displacement type problem

    Homework Statement In a mall, a shopper rides up an escalator between floors. At the top of the escalator, the shopper turns right and walks 9 meters to a store. The magnitude of the shopper's displacement from the bottom of the escalator is 16m. The vertical distance between the floors is 6m...

    How Do You Calculate the Initial Velocity of a Tennis Ball Thrown at an Angle?

    Ok I have a feeling that the answer is 9.8m because once the ball is thrown in the air it automatically begins to decelerates because of gravity. Since it takes an object that was dropped to travel 9.8m in one second, an object that was thrown up and airborne for only one second must of been...

    How Do You Calculate Average Speed with Variable Velocities and Accelerations?

    Ok I see where I had made my mistake, but now I am confused with how to find the distance traveled. How do you find the distance traveled if there are 2 different velocities?

    How Do You Calculate the Initial Velocity of a Tennis Ball Thrown at an Angle?

    Ok... I understand what you told me and using what you told me my first gut reaction is to say that the answer is 0. Since the ball is not moving anywhere initially. Is this valid?

    How Do You Calculate Average Speed with Variable Velocities and Accelerations?

    Homework Statement A particle that is moving along a straight line decelerates uniformly from 0.4 m/s to 0.2 m/s in 5 seconds and then has a constant acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2 during the next 4 seconds. What is the average speed over the whole time interval? Homework Equations vavg =...

    How Do You Calculate the Initial Velocity of a Tennis Ball Thrown at an Angle?

    Homework Statement A tennis ball is thrown from ground level with an initial velocity directed 30° above the horizontal. If it takes the ball 1 second to reach the top of its trajectory, what is the magnitude of the initial velocity? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I...
