m1g-m2g=m2a-m1a? Would I then factor out the g?

I'm not entirely certain where the instructor whipped it out but This is what equations have came up with the problem thus far: T(tension)-w1=m1a which can be turned to T=m1a+w1 which can be turned to T=m1a+m1g. This would be the same case for w2-T=m2a. Then the equation m1g+m1a=m2g+m2a was...

Homework Statement We are given 2 hanging masses on opposite sides of a pully. masses and distance traveled in the time are given. We are required to find the acceleration of gravity Homework Equations m1 (g+a)=m2 (g-a) The Attempt at a Solution I found acceleration and have now changed...

I appreciate your insight, the problems I'm having really fit in with what you are referring to. I'll take your advice and thank you.

I wasn't either. Go to umd? I believe it goes into a negative but I'm confused with the class so far

Divide by time again

What may seem obvious is just not registering for me here

I'm struggling mightily.

Acceleration of gravity correct?

M/s

4.67/.543 so 8.60?

(4.67/.543) *45.1?

Homework Statement Problem #7[/B](Due 9/26 Friday by 8:00 a.m.) Hydro, who has a mass of 45.1 kg, falls straight down 4.67 m to the water below. a. If Hydro comes to rest .543 seconds after hitting the water, what was the net force exerted on Hydro over this time? Homework Equations The...

Yes, absolutely.

I'm taking a big physics test tomorrow, and I am certain if I took it right now that I would be in trouble. I look over each problem set and I draw blanks, but when the instructor starts one and draws a sketch along with listing the knowns and unknowns, I realize how to do it. Are there any...
