    Two-Dimensional Projectile Motion: Finding Vertical and Horizontal Distances

    Sorry about that. No It does give it. So that was my first step. in the x- direction the intial velocity is 18.1 m/s and the y direction is 3.42.

    Two-Dimensional Projectile Motion: Finding Vertical and Horizontal Distances

    Homework Statement a ball is thrown up to the top of a building 6 m tall. It is thrown at a 53 degree angle above the horizontal at a point 24m from the base of the building. The ball takes 2.20s to reach a point vertically above the wall. a) find the vertical distance by which the ball...

    Projectile Motion XY Plane: Solving for Height & Time

    Homework Statement A ball is tossed from a building. The ball is given an intial velocity of 8.00 m/s at an angle of 20 degrees below the horizontal. It strikes the ground 3.00s later. a) how far horizontally from the base of the building does the ball strike the ground? b) Find the...

    What are the new speed and direction of the plane relative to the grou

    Homework Statement a plane moving initially at 300mi/h to the east, suddenly enters region where the wind is blowing at 100 mi/h toward the direction 30 degree's north of east. What are the new speed and direction of the plane relative to the ground. Homework Equations Magnitude=...

    How Can a Train Travel 1km Optimally by Accelerating and Braking?

    Homework Statement A commuter travels between two stations. the stations are only 1.00km apart which means the train never reaches maximum crusing speed. The engineer minimizes the time interval (delta t) between the two stations by accelerating for a time interval (delta t sub 1) at a rate...
