So pretty much, I was given data (see below) about seagulls dropping clams and the number of drops required to break the clam.
Height of drops (x)/number of drops (y)
1.7 / 42
2 / 21
2.9 / 10.3
4.1...
I think I may have been unclear in my explanation, I THINK I am trying to get to the equation:
Is there any way I can get there from T^2=kL?
Or am I completely in the wrong direction?
Thanks for the replies (:
I did a lab on pendulums and I need to answer the following:
Examine the experimental evidence in regards to each of the properties of the pendulum, mass, horizontal displacement and length. Predict the equation for the period of a pendulum and calculate it based on your observations.
The...
So, here is my data:
TRIAL 1 TRIAL 2 TRIAL 3
MASS OF CAR 1 7.5 N 7.5 N 7.5 N
MASS OF CAR 2 7.5 N 7.5 N 7.5 N
TIME FOR CAR 1 (s) 8.63 8.31 9.40
TIME FOR CAR 2 (s) 7.50 10.72 8.78
DISPLACEMENT FOR CAR 1 (m) 305.00 365.00 348.60
DISPLACEMENT FOR CAR 2 (m) 387.50...
Okay, so I am writing a lab but I am quite stuck on one question.
Using the average force of sliding friction from the data, calculate the coefficient of sliding friction.
Average force of sliding friction: 0.32N
The equation I used to calculate other static/sliding coefficients was...
Okay, that makes a lot of sense, thank you!
Just another quick question, for time I got .78s, would that be the answer for B aswell? Since the cowboy is dropping 3.0m from the tree and that takes .78s, is that the time he is in the air?
3. A daring cowboy sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The speed of the horse is 10. m/s, and the distance from the limb to the saddle is 3.0 m.
a. What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and the limb when the cowboy makes his...
