    Finding the angle for force component

    Homework Statement Find the Fx' and Fy components of the given force, given that y' is 10 degrees, there is a 60 degree angle between F and X in the negative direction, and F = 360 N. Use only the Law of Sines, Law of Cosines and Law of Parallelograms. Homework Equations Sin a / A =...

    Problems with Newton's Second Law

    Homework Statement Given a car being pushed by a constant force: a. How will the acceleration change in relation to the mass of the car? --> Done, it'll decrease b. How will a graph of acceleration in the y-axis and and (1/m) being the x-axis will look like? What will the slope of the...

    Determine Initial Velocity, Max Ht for Diver Proj. Motion HW

    So a = - g for upward becomes a = g for downward, (with g = 9.80 m/s^2) and what would be vo = + for upward becomes vo = - for downward, or what? Also, y = 0 is the exact last point of the diving board in the way I'm trying to make the exercise. I uploaded a diagram for reference.

    Determine Initial Velocity, Max Ht for Diver Proj. Motion HW

    Homework Statement A high diver leaves the end pf a 5.0-m high diving board and strikes the water 1.3s later, 3.0m beyond the end of the board. Determine his inicial velocity, his maximum height and the velocity with which he enters water. (Projectile Motion). *See details at the end*...

    Express Trigonometric Identities of Terms of Variables

    Right. My bad, I forgot to write that last part of the instructions. Obviously, given the z<0 part of the answer and the domain of the function, then the first two shall be negative and the last one will be positive. It was as I thought, so thank you for clearing that out. Sucks when you...

    Algebra-equation to model balloon's elevation as function of time (t)

    Let's take this one step at a time. You know the formula for modeling something that changes with time is F(t) = Changing Variable times t + Initial State, right? If you know the Initial State (Height) of the Balloon, then what else needs to be placed in the function? Set F(t) to the height...

    Express Trigonometric Identities of Terms of Variables

    Homework Statement Be x an element in the interval [Pi/4, 3Pi/4] express cos(2x), sin x, sin (x+pi) in terms of x. You must know that, for this question, cos x = z and z will always be < 0. Homework Equations cos(2x) = 2 (cos(x))^2 - 1 cos(2x) = cos^2 x - sin ^2 x sin^2 x + cos ^2 x = 1...
