    Equation that is y=(Vi^2)/2g

    assume a level ground with no atmospheric resistance. time of flight for the first half (rising) is t = (v-u)/g = 0.666 sec, sot he time of flight for the last half descent is also 0.666 sec. Total time is thus 1.333 sec. with no reistance to motion in the x-axis the distance traveled is...

    What is the maximum speed for a fairground roundabout with a 20º angle limit?

    panthomjay is right. understand that the centripetal acceleration along the x-axis will be the resultant of the weight of the chair and the tension in the chain. when this ia at the required angle you will be able th calculate Fcentripetal and also tangential speed - do you know the mass...

    Colliding Photons: Matter-Energy Problems & Wavefunction

    whilst we are successful in colliding matter to identify yet further fundamental particles, and being aware there is a limit on speed due to mass end energy problems, and given that matter and mass are interchangeable, might it be possible to collide a single photon with another (this must rely...

    Why Warm Air Rises: Intro Physics Book Explained

    simply put: the cooling compartment must be at the top - when slightly warmer air in the fridge rises (from foods or open door etc), it will come into contact with the cooling fins at the top. Here it will loose energy, become more dense (for a given volume) and consequently sink in the warmer...

    to russ watters Dis I say that I had misconceptions? If they are why should they be mine? Did I say that America was not advanced? Why should these questions say anything about myself? The response will say more about the respondent. Bold print ?

    Thanks Rach3, a very precise and concise reply. You seem to have valid data to draw upon.

    Gravity inside a solid sphere.

    "In other words the force grows linearly as you move towards the surface." I picked up on this and made the assumption that it was moving towards the surface from the outside. (incorrect assumption). which is why I mentioned 1/d^2

    Interesting reply - as always the political agenda and desire for votes has a powerfull impact on direction.
