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...
