Undergrad Time Dilation: Impact on GPS Accuracy
Hey there guys I just have a question to ask some of you. Given the occurrence of time dilation being related to an objects state of motion I have an interesting thought. This is a very general question, my teacher only briefly covered this topic in class as it's not part of our course but it...- nordqvist11

Estimating Car Speed from Skid Marks
Homework Statement In coming to a stop a car leaves skid marks 92m long on the highway. Assuming a decceleration of 7.00 m/s^2 , estimate the SPEED of the car just before braking. I have a question though, is my approach ok? You can see my confusion in various parts of my procedures below...- nordqvist11

Acceleration Problem: Solving for Constant Acceleration with Kinematic Equations
Homework Statement I'd just like someone to see if I answered correctly. I'm having a bit of difficulty grasping the vagueness of the displacement in these questions I've been getting in my textbook. From what I gather the displacement is relative to the vector points, (the two x points in...- nordqvist11

Projectile Motion: Solving for Vx and Vy
I have another question. My projectile starts at point 0,5 I am given this formula to solve the range of the projectile if y isn't equal to 0 I'm fine with it until the end, it says y0, why y0? Does it just mean insert the value of y that the projectile starts at?- nordqvist11
