Ok, I'm currently trying to do an experiment of a cart coasting down an incline plane using ticker tape. The ticker tape is set up so that the space between each dot represents 0.02 s. That being said, between every 5th dot would represent 0.1 second. I know that the point of this experiment...

:=).. Thank you both so much.. Finally it makes sense and comes together perfectly.. Appreciate the help both of you have given. Thanks

final velocity would be -9.7 m/s, time = 1.5s and 1.2s (two different boys), and the acceleration, I'm assuming since they jump directly upwards it would simply be g= -9.8m/s^2...

That puts it into perspective.. Appreciate your help. Thanks

The question stated that at a speed of 5 m/s they both jump straight up and then land on their skateboards. Bills board goes 7.5 m before he lands and Teds goes 6.0 m before he lands. So I'm assuming it means the speed of the skateboard

Ok, I have an example problem that doesn't show any of the actual calculations and I'm stumped at the process of finding the answer. The Answers were given just not the work behind it. Bill and Ted have a skateboarding contest. They begin side by side and push their boards forward. At a...

Thanks a bunch for your help\insight. That is definatly a weight off of my shoulders. For the past few hours I had the correct answer the entire time, and I've been teaching myself physics and haven't had anyone to verify what I've done. Appreciate your time and help once again. Cheers.

Question: Boat traveling south at 10 km/h. A seaman on deck measure wind velocity to be 8 km/h east. What is the actual wind velocity? (the velocity of the wind relative to the ground) Basically your statement \overrightarrow{v_{wb}} = \overrightarrow{v_{w}} - \overrightarrow{v_b} would...

Ok.. So now I'm royally confused. I presume I'm just working myself up over nothing and just confusing which calculation method I should be using. Drawing a vector diagram, I would come up with results, boat:10 km/h south, wind:8 km/h east, and resultant:13 km/h, 39 degrees, east of south...

Having a little bit of trouble with this and not sure if my findings\thoughts are right and would like some insight. If a boat is traveling south at 10 km/h and a person on the deck measures the wind velocity to be 8 km/h east, would the actual wind velocity (velocity of wind relative to the...
