    Help with this physics problem (acceleration in two dimensions).

    I couldn't assign unit vectors to vf (with direction) as I don't know how to show that on this forum. =/ Also, we haven't been taught "modulus" or is that modules? I don't know what they are.

    Help with this physics problem (acceleration in two dimensions).

    |vf| = 21(sin(22)+cos(22)) |vf| = 27.337 |a| = (|vf|-|vi|)/(/\t) |a| = (27.337-14.37)/0.0025s |a|= 5186.8 Hmmm, did I do something wrong?

    Help with this physics problem (acceleration in two dimensions).

    I just tried it using 158 as the angle and I didn't get the correct answer given again. I'm calculating the vector components using sin(theta)(Ay), sin(theta)By, cos(theta)Ax, and cos(theta)Bx of course. I can't seem to find out what I'm doing wrong.

    A hockey puck rebounds from a board as shown in Figure 16. Figure 16 looks like this. http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/2571/fig16vr6.png The puck is in contact with the board for 2.5ms. Determine the average acceleration of the puck over the interval. ------- So I know you have to use...
