I am trying to find a function with the following info:
1. Horizontal asymptote at 'a' where a > 0.
2. Function passes through origin (0,0).
is it even possible to find the equation of this function with this info?!
Any help is appreciated...
What do you mean 'get close'?
Tell me what you got for the answer...
EDIT: I calculated the whole thing and ended up with 17.4 m for vertical displacement of the rocket...which is lower than the wall.
This means that the rocket won't pass over the wall and hit the wall instead unless I'm...
Okay for question one, here is how I would approach the problem:
First, draw yourself a diagram. It really explains stuff. Then you need to draw your vectors. Why? Because you need Horizontal stuff and Vertical Stuff (stuff being t,d,v,u,a).
So you draw your fist velocity vector...magnitude of...
Well what do you know!
I read the fine print for mathtype:
Sweet!
Also I checked out the Equation Editor...cool!
thanks guys I knew I would get something from you guys!
I am not sure if I have posted this in the right thread, feel free to move it to appropriate spot.
But here is the question:
I need to hand in a physics project that needs a good amount of equations stuffed into it. Now I have to options. Write them or type them. Writing will ruin the...
I found two answers for t...one 4 and the other is 5.
We only care about 4, so then after the calculations we end up with the fact that the girl will catch the bus after running for 18 m. At that time the bus has traveled 8 m. The difference is 10. :)
And I know this answer is right because I...
I used the following two equations to calculate time:
(sorry for the crappy mathematical expressions, I don't know a fast way to type equations)
d = ((Vf+Vi)/2)t for the runner, so:
d = (4.5) t
then,
d = Vi(t) + (1/2)(a)(t)^2 for car. Since Vi = 0 and a = 1 then:
d = (1/2)t^2
Therefore...
Oh my god thank you chroot!
I did what you said and ended up with t = 9s for the time at which they are at the same position. Then I solved for the position at which they meet and it was 40.5m. So the girl ran 50.5m
Now can someone confirm that's the right answer?! Just so I can relax and jump...
Another Catch Problem I'm lost at!
My physics teacher is spitting these catch problems at me like a maniac. Here's the question (it was on my test and I was partially clueless):
A girl is trying to running as fast as she can at a constant velocity of 4.5 m/s . She is trying to catch her...
Okay, I took your suggestions and came up with the calculations attached to this post.
First of all excuse the typos and all, I just noticed an 'is' needs to be an 'if'. Took me some time to convert my scribbles into a neat image.
Now as you can see I have ended up with a negactive value...
I am really struggling with this question:
A ball is dropped from the top of a tall building. Exactly 2 seconds later, another ball is thrown downwards from the top of the same building at 25 m/s. Will the second ball catch the first ball? If so, what is the minimum length of the building? If...
