I do know 2 that are very similar.
\Deltad = V1\Deltat + 1/2a\Deltat2
\Deltad = V2\Deltat - 1/2a\Deltat2
Hmmm, are you suggesting to equate them?
I should end up with a quadratic.
I think there is some confusion here...
I use "d" to represent distance
V1 to represent initial velocity
V2 to represent final velocity
The only other equation that makes sense to me (but still missing multiple variables):
V22 = V12 + 2a\Deltad
I don't have distance, i also...
Exactly, thank you for clarifying that XD
Also, tiny tim, i am either not familiar with that equation, or i already listed it in my original post.
If you mean a = \DeltaV/\Deltat, then i don't have \Deltat, i only have t1... which is 0... which is undefined.
Homework Statement
A Book (initially at rest) slides down an inclined plane, when it is at the bottom of the slope, its speed is 2.5 m/s. What is its speed half way and a third way down the slope.
V1 = 0
t1 = 0
V2 = 2.5 m/s
Homework Equations
a = \Deltav / \Delta t
v = \Deltad...
i don't know if i am missing something... but i could simplify it by just finding what \Deltad*Cos\theta is. i am simply finding the X-component, i don't think i need both components, all i need is the distance traveled in a straight line.
Let me clarify, in my original post i was attempting to make everything more brief so it is less discouraging to read.
The regular stone hit the junior one at an angle, making one go 40 degrees and the other go -30 degrees, if that makes sense.
I calculated a deceleration that would apply...
