Thanks for the help. I got: (4/7)(x+2)^(7/4) - (8/3)(x+2)^(3/4) +C.

So split it then integrate it from there?

Homework Statement I'm having a problem with U-Substitution. I get the simple stuff and the trig substitutions, but this problem has been bugging me. Int( X/(x+2)^(1/4)) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I first tried u=x+2 and then du=dx. I then solved for x, where...

OK, I think that solved for velocity correctly. Using the calculated velocity and the average distance traveled of the golf balls in a trial, I calculated a time of about 3.3 seconds. When I launched golf balls and manually timed it, the results were close enough.

That proportion I used, v1/v2= 0.076/0.838, what exactly is that?

Yes.

Yup!

Well, I think I might have it! I used that example in the post I linked to in the previous post, and I just changed the values to fit my case. I did the other example to get the right answer that was provided. So, I'm assuming that my answer is correct Here are the givens: m1=10.937...

Use F=ma!

Trebuchet help: Calculating velocity Homework Statement I'm new to this site, so bear with me! OK, so I'm doing a trebuchet for my physics project. I have done three trials with counterweights of different masses. I have all of the distances that a golf ball of mass=0.045kg has traveled. I...
