Simple Harmonic Motion of an air-track glider
1- yea i wasnt in radian mode ...THANKS 2- I tried it in radian and i got 1.212 and its also wrong :S 3- i can rearrange the x(t) equation to have it as a function of t but i have two x's...im confused... 4- yea i believe its the rite equation and i did try it and i got the same answer 5- i...- saralsaigh

Calculating Fmax of Collision Q: Tennis Ball & Wall
OK so how do i do that?! 2059.77 = 2F/3 F = 3089.66 N idk that would be my guess...any suggestions?- saralsaigh

Calculating Fmax of Collision Q: Tennis Ball & Wall
hmm i must be doing something wrong again, this is how i worked it out I used impulse = change in momentum so; F t = m (V2-V1) F = [(0.64kg) (56m/s)]/ (0.0174s) F = 2059.77 N ==> this is the wrong answer could u please tell me where I am going wrong...thx- saralsaigh

Solving the Conceptual Fnet=ma Problem for Bill & Susan
sorry i got one more question, its conceptual and i have a little problem with it, 1. The problem: Bill and Susan are both standing on identical skateboards (with really good ball bearings) initally at rest. Bill weighs three times as much as susan. Bill pushes horizontally on Susan's back...- saralsaigh

Solving Physics Homework: Car Dropped from 32.8m Cliff
yay i got the right answer, i was doing it wrong in terms of calculating time, i had to first calculate the time it took it to reach its max height and then calculate the time it took from its max height to reach the floor. so for my y-direction my v1=6.38m/s, and v2= 0 and i know that a=...- saralsaigh

Solving Physics Homework: Car Dropped from 32.8m Cliff
i think so, idk i used my calculator to get the answer, but here's how i set it up: d=32.8m, v1= 6.38m/s (maybe this number should b negative since speed is down in the y-direction, wat do u think?) and a= -9.8m/s^2 so d=v1 t + .5 a t^2 32.8 = 6.38t + -4.9 t^2 4.9t^2 - 6.38t + 32.8 = 0...- saralsaigh
