    What Is the Displacement of the Wandering Wolf?

    So then what point is my point of reference, and i tried it but still nothing. Can someone do it and show how they got the right answer??

    What Is the Displacement of the Wandering Wolf?

    Homework Statement A wolf wanders 64 m [N15E], 93m[N20W], and 167 m [N]. What is her displacement? North to South east is considered positive by my sign convention, and from south to north west, it is considered to be negative, once again by my sign convention. I've never seen problems like...

    Acceleration due to gravity lab

    Yea what we did in class was that they were already made. We just got up and took one, the lab says it has to be roughly within 1.2- 1.5m. I told my teacher i have about 1.1m, and he said it is fine, because like the 0.1m won't make a big difference for such a small calculation. He also...

    Acceleration due to gravity lab

    So average time is : (23.41+23.41+23.44) / 3 = 23.42 period= (23.42)/10 = 2.342 so then gravity would equal to 4∏^2 (1.12m) --------------- = g 2.342^2 g= 8.06 m/s^2 does this seem fine?

    Acceleration due to gravity lab

    Homework Statement We did a lab using a pendulum attached to a string about 1.12m long. We let it go from 20 degrees and counted 10 cycles and recorded how much time it took for the pendulum to complete 10 cycles. This lab is done assuming, there is no air resistance or any other force other...

    Kinematic Problem: Finding Average and Instantaneous Velocity

    Homework Statement An airplane maintains a constant acceleration of 4.0m/s^2 as it speeds up from 16m/s [E] to 28 m/s [E]. A what is the average velocity? b) how long does the airplane accelerate? c) when is the instantaneous velocity equal to the average velocity for the interval? a= 4.0...

    How Can Farhana Reach the Truck in Time?

    tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, \Delta d = V_{i}\Delta t + ( 1/2)a(\Delta t)^2 delta t = -11.11 +- sqrt (11.11)^2 -4(1/2)(-9.8)(-4.74) --------------------------------------------- -9.8 -11.11+- sqrt 30.5281 ----------------------...

    How Can Farhana Reach the Truck in Time?

    The answer is 11m and t= 0.569875104 or t= 1.697471834. if distance = speed * time and speed is 11.11m/s dist= 11.11 * 0.569875104 dist= 6.331312405 (6.3m) and the other one is just wayy off.
