I feel like I'm just running in circles taking random jabs at this; are you able to offer anything more concrete? The equations I gave are the only things I have. I don't have a mysterious equation with no time that might work.
Hello:
I'm sorry, I missed your post initially.
So for the window, you already know l_w (height of window), t (time it takes to pass) and a:
l_w = v0 + 1/2*9.81*t^2
where t is the time it took to go l_w distance.
so you also need a velocity, which you can get:
v_f = v_i + at.
so this is from...
Hello:
Okay, here's my attempt then. Please let me know where I'm going wrong. I'm not sure how to handle some of this.
d+l_w = vt + 1/2a(w_t+t)^2
Thanks a lot for the help.
Hello:
It's my fault. quoting is fine, I just replied to the quote and didn't edit for some reason.
yes, I am familiar with that equation.
So, in this case:
D is the displacement: the point the pot is dropped to the bottom of the window.
v is 0 to begin with.
The only t we know is the time it...
Hello:
I am. you use v=v0+at, correct?
So, a = 9.81.
t is unknown with the exception of the time it takes the pot to fall past the window.
v0 is just 0 starting out as it's just dropped.
Sorry for the double post. I'm blind and learning how to use this with a screen reader. didn't mean to quote...
Hello all:
I have a question. I'm looking at this problem:
Homework Statement
A flower pot falls past your window. The pot is visible for a time t, and the vertical length of your window is L_w. Take down to be the positive direction, so that downward velocities are positive and the...
Hey all,
I just wanted to take some time to introduce myself and thank everyone in advance for the help I'm sure to get here.
My name is ty; I am a totally blind student working toward a degree in computer science. I am taking an introduction physics course which uses calculous and it's the...
