    What is the Kinematics of a Particle Leaving a Ledge?

    I said that because there wasn't an angle being given.

    Another another more challenging log question.

    64x^2+7=5y-5 Take the log of both sides now. log64x^2+7=log5y-5 (4x2+7)log6=log5y-5 From here, isolate for one of the variables and substitute it into the original equation. Solve for the other once that is done.

    What is the Kinematics of a Particle Leaving a Ledge?

    Well I'm presuming the particle is experiencing horizontal projectile motion.To find the original velocity I would use dx=vx+1/2a(t)2, where x are the horizontal problems given in the question, such as the particle landing 2 m away horizontally, time can be used in both x and y component...

    Coefficient of Kinetic Friction

    Homework Statement A child goes down a playground slide with an acceleration of 1.32 {m/s^2}. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide if the slide is inclined at an angle of 35.0 deg below the horizontal. Homework Equations Fnet=ma Fg=mg Ff=uFn I...

    Acceleration and Distance problem

    Homework Statement A turtle is moving with constant acceleration along a straight ditch. He starts his stopwatch as he passes a fence post and notes that it takes him 10s to reach a pine tree 10m further along the ditch. As he passes the pine tree, his speed is 1.2m/s. How far was he from the...

    Solve Trig. Problem without a calculator

    For #2, sec^2 will equal 1/cos^2, and tan^2 will equal sin^2/cos^2. If you have learned the Pythagorean Identity (sin^2+cos^2=1) you can isolate cos^2 and solve the left side, which will leave you with 1/1-sin^2. Solving the right side, tan^2 will equal sin^2/cos^2, and you can make 1 equal to...

    Modeling Satellite Orbit with Sinusoidal Functions

    Assume the equator is 0, and the max/min is 4500. This is your amplitude. You can find your period by using period=2pi/k, which would equate to: period= 360/45 period=8 (I believe your working in radians?) I might be wrong about the period, but it's pretty easy to go on from there. To do...

    Trig identities help How to simplify by multiplication/division

    Do you have a right side to any of these equations? Or do you just have to get the equation to the simplest terms?

    Deriving Formula: f2 Frequency of Moving Object

    I don't think lambda was suppose to use in the original equation, was it? I forgot to add that part in my original question.

    Deriving Formula: f2 Frequency of Moving Object

    I think I might've worded my question wrong; I'm trying to prove the formula itself, I don't need to find the wavelength; unless that is what I am suppose to do?

    Deriving Formula: f2 Frequency of Moving Object

    Homework Statement This is my first post, so it might not be that great... Anyways, I need help deriving the formula. This formula is pertaining to the doppler effect, and more specifically, to find the frequency of a sound made from an object moving toward/away from you. f2= f1(v/v-vs) or...
