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 that will work out quite nicely! thank you very much for your help!

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 I get it! thank you so much for the help!

Okay, thank you, I think I understand. What I tried was: (0.32N)/(9.8cosX) Would that make sense?

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...

haha, alright :) thank you so much!

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...
