1. A car accelerates for 200 meters and has an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s and a final velocity of 6 m/s. What is the acceleration of the car if this change in velocity takes 12 seconds?Homework Equations
a=Δv/Δt
Δx=Vi*t+.5at2[/B]The Attempt at a Solution
When I solve this using the first...
In response to fact checker, that seems like a good idea. Only how long would this deceleration take do you think? I am assuming .1 seconds and that would then result in a 10,720 N force being applied but I have no idea how I could interpret this. I guess my reverse ask is how do I know how long...
Ok, to interpret this formula should I interpret the impulse as how long the force is applied to my body or how long my body would be in free fall motion and then stopping when I would hit the ground. I imagine the impulse would be the duration of how long the force would be applied to my body...
Today I was thinking how would I calculate the amount of force I would experience if I were to jump out of a second floor building in the event of a fire and if I had to jump how much force would be applied to me? I was able to find the height of the building by dropping an object from rest out...
EDIT: I figured out how to do this and it works graphically but I am not entirely convinced because the math could be correctly proving the wrong thing. I feel that there is something I am missing, however I could just be incorrectly perceiving this.
EDIT: It finally clicked. Because it is...
I tried to do this but I unfortunately can not figure out how to get the formula to work in excel. By this I mean I have the formula in excel but I can't quite graph the function. I am beginning to grasp your response but still my brain is stuck.
My understanding is that the gravitational...
That was a bit of a joke, I do plan on learning the math to accompany the physics. Because physics without math is simply speculation and the math brings the physics to life. It was more to describe that I am presently at a base of weak calculus and decent algebra skills. It was more of an...
Thank you for replying, I appreciate it. And I don't trust them because it seems unlikely to me that over a span of 10 meters, with an acceleration value of 9.8 (m/s)/s that the final velocity would be 14 m/s. Which would then produce a time of 1.4 seconds. This means that the time it take for...
1. Problem Statement
A 2 kilogram block rests at the edge of a platform that is 10 meters above level ground.
The block is launched horizontally from the edge of the platform with an initial speed of
3 meters per second. Air resistance is negligible. The time it will take for the block to
reach...
Hey, My name is John. I created an account here because I want to learn more physics. This is prompted by the realization that physics is the "realest" thing there is. So I want to dedicate my life / free time to uncovering these secrets despite not being the most mathematically or logically...
