Finding Horizontal Displacement for Spring Cannon Launch
Oh the whole thing is under the square root. t = (vi sin35 + √(vi^2 sin^2 35 + 23.544)) / 9.81- monac

Finding Horizontal Displacement for Spring Cannon Launch
it's a long process. I ll just type the main parts of the answers. (a) x = vicos35t t = (vi sin35 + √vi^2 sin^2 35 + 23.544) / 9.81 so x = vi cos35 ((vi sin35 + √vi^2 sin^2 35 + 23.544) / 9.81) for b and c i just had to plug in values for vi and get the x so that was easy. I have...- monac

Finding Horizontal Displacement for Spring Cannon Launch
A spring cannon is located at the edge of a table that is 1.2 m above the floor. A steel ball is launched from the cannon with speed Vo at 35.0 degrees above the horizontal. (a) Find the horizontal displacement component of the ball tothe point where it lands on the floor as a function of Vo...- monac

Question about notation in physics
so if I solved the integral and I got like r(t) = 8t^2 + 5t I put the arrow on top of the arrow since it's a vector. I get that ... But do I still include the i and j? so would it be r(t) = 8t^2 i + 5t j ?- monac

Question about notation in physics
So it says that a particle is going with a velocity of 5i m/s at t = 0 and varying acceleration a = 6√t j. it asked me to find the velocity and position of the particle as a function of time. So i did an integral of the acceleration to get velocity and did the integral of the velocity to get...- monac

Need to calculate acceleration from total distance travelled.
I am trying to find a ... what am I doing with the s ? I am so close to giving up on this problem- monac

Need to calculate acceleration from total distance travelled.
your process is still giving me 4.07 m/s^2 which is the wrong answer :(- monac

You no longer have the absolute value symbols where? in the second part of my solution?- monac

Need to calculate acceleration from total distance travelled.
so 2s/u+v t 2*23/7.9+15.8 = t 1.94 s = t vf - vi / t = a 15.8 - 7.9 / 1.94 = a a = 4.07 m/s^2 <-- That's the wrong answer I got in the first place :( This is disappointing.- monac

Need to calculate acceleration from total distance travelled.
So I understand that our initial velocity should be positive, then ... what equation do I plug it into? all equations have a t in them ... which is unknown.- monac

Need to calculate acceleration from total distance travelled.
so you are saying v0 = 0 m/s vf = 15.8 m/s ? Then what would be delta x? 15.8^2 - 0^2 / 2*23? Do you think that's right?- monac
