    What are the Kinematics of a Car Plunging off the Grand Canyon Edge?

    Even if it's quadratic, why wouldn't you be able to solve for t?

    What is the value of gravity in free-fall and two-dimensional kinematics?

    Yes, when the object is in freefall on Earth, gravity = a = 9.8m/s^2 down. Signs are optional but you could say -9.8n/s^s. In 2D, the gravity is always 9.8m/s^2 down on the object. It doesn't matter how the object is moving or thrown, gravity is always down.

    Will the Thrown Ball Overtake the Falling Flowerpot?

    Hitchhikers reference eh? The other object should be the falling whale.

    How Fast Must the Magnetic Field Change to Induce a 3.4 A Current in a Coil?

    Oh I see. Thanks for setting me straight. I'm still learning and your opinion is very helpful to me.

    How Fast Must the Magnetic Field Change to Induce a 3.4 A Current in a Coil?

    Well, circumference=pi*diameter, lol 102 turns = 102 circumferences

    Drawing Kinematic Graphs for Negatively Accelerating Velocity-Time

    The graph of the acceleration is the graph of the derivative of the v-graph. Find the slope at each second and graph it onto a new graph. The a-graph is not linear.

    Isn't the L for B=UIN/L the length of the solenoid not the length of the wire?

    Solve Kinematics Problem: Stone Thrown from 165m Building, 4s Travel Time

    Wait, I think it was the d for the 4th second, from 3-4s. Because the first second is 0-1s, second second is for 1-2s, etc. So Vf=vo+at V@3=5+9.8*3 and V@4=5+9.8*4 Vf^2=Vo^2+2ad (V@4)^2=(V@3)^2+2*9.8*d Find d

    Solve Kinematics Problem: Stone Thrown from 165m Building, 4s Travel Time

    Well, d=Vot+.5at^2 so d should be 98.4m. Did you get that?
