Hah, nevermind, I found a way to find x and then I could just insert the value to get v, just like I thought! :biggrin:

Homework Statement A boat leaves the harbor going 60 degrees north-east with the speed 20km/h. 3 hours later, another boat leaves a harbor 160km to the east with a speed of 70km/h. What course should the second boat have to meet the first? Homework Equations Not 100% sure what equations would...

Awesome, thanks a lot for all the help! I really appreciate it. :biggrin: Edit: Also, what's the connection/reason for using the F= m∆v/∆t formula/equation? Any way to connect it to any of the "basic" formulas for the things I mentioned earlier that we had talked about in class (kinetic and...

Let me see if I got this right (English isn't my primary language, nor the language in which my physics education is held, so I might've misunderstood some parts of this last post since I'm not too sure about how to solve this third question to begin with) F= \frac{m × ∆v}{∆t} \Leftrightarrow...

Thanks. And yes, my arguments for why these things are happening on #2 are pretty vague. Thanks for the help, really appreciate it. I assume this would be caused because of the scale having to push the man upward with a higher force to stop his fall, as opposed to simply holding him in...

Homework Statement The graph below shows the force as a function of time when a man jumps on a bathroom scale. 1) Determine the mans weight (mass, kg) using the graph. 2) Describe what happens in the time intervals A, B, C and D. 3) Determine the velocity of the man as he leaves the scale...
