Thanks man, it makes a little more sense. I haven't taken trig in a few years.

Yes remember those 3 trig functions. I can draw a right triangle with the hypotenuse labeled Tension force. Where are you going with this?

Its been a while since I have seen trig. Can you explain how I should look at it? It says theta is relative to the vetical.

Thanks. I attached a photo, but it's not showing up. Your example is what we're covering next, I haven't gotten there yet.

Can you explain why cosine theta is vertical, and sin theta is horizontal on this example? I am confused.

Homework Statement This is a solved problem. It is attached. Why is sin theta horizontal, and cosine theta vertical? Homework Equations All relevant equations are given. The Attempt at a Solution The solution is given.

Thanks for reply. Its the easiest question but I don't see it. I tried a few a things before you commented. Can you explain why is it 28.9 m/s?

1. Homework Statement The problem and all known information is attached. Homework Equations The kinematic equations are attached. The Attempt at a Solution My attempt is attached. I did part (a), (b), and (c), right. How do I do part (d)? I tried distance/ time .

Thanks Zz.

Thanks, I appreciate all the opinions. ZapperZ, translating the physics concept to apply to a particular problem is an issue for me.

Hello, Is there a proper way to study physics? Such as: 2-4 hours of daily study, specific youtubers I should subscribe to, etc... My college allows a maximum of 2 hours a week of physics tutoring. I take advantage of that, but we typically cover 3 problem in each 1 hour meeting. Which is...

Thank you gneill. Is the distance in the "y" vertical direction 0 because its final position is the ground?

Homework Statement The problem (5.9) and given data is attached. Homework Equations All relevant equations are given (5.9). On (5.9) What does the s subscript y represent? And why does gravity equal -32? The Attempt at a Solution The solution is given. This is a scan problem.

Thank you RUber. I am about to rework it.

1. Homework Statement A jumper runs horizontally off a 910 meter mountain with speed 4.0 m/s and enjoys a free fall until she is 150 meters above the valley floor, at which time she opens her parachute. Ignore air resistance Homework Equations A) how long is the jumper in free fall. B) how...
