Please Help!
I am still having difficulty with a physics problem. The course is trig based. I can't seem to set up the problem with the baseball taking the hop.
I'm working on projectile motion problem and it is a two-fold problem about throwing a baseball from outfield to home plate. The theory is that the ball arrives faster if thrown on a bounce. "Suppose that after the bounce the ball rebounds at the same angle theta as it had when initially...
To date the trig used in class has been very simple soh-cah-toa of right angle triangle solving for a leg of the triangle or for theta. I have had no trouble with these type of calculations. I'm sure we'll be getting into some higher trig calculations as we go forward.
My biggest problem...
Thanks for the help you have shown me so far, it has been very much appreciated. I am preparing for my first Physics I exam and would like your opinion. We are allowed a single 4 x 6 index card to take to class and use on the test. We will also be provided formulas and conversion factor data...
Problem: A football is kicked from 36.0 m away from goal post at an angle of 53.0 deg. above horizontal at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The crossbar is at a height of 3.05 m high. a.) By how far does the ball clear or fall short of the crossbar? b.) Does the ball approach the crossbar while still...
This is my first posting and I am a rookie at this so please bear with me. This is a General Physics I class w/trig.
I am having great difficulty understanding how to set up and solve a projectile motion problem. To further complicate things, my Physics instructor is showing us a method to...
