Sorry guys, this question was pretty straightforward but I must've been really overthinking simple things the last couple of days. I think I'm going to take another look at how I'm managing my time. Thank you for the help!
Upon re-reading what you said in the last part of your reply, I think I understood the point you made with the idea of the acceleration happening to the left and the force opposite of that acceleration being > the force in the direction of the acceleration, which you would then end up finding a2...
Ah my mistake! I meant constant speed, so the magnitude of the velocity remains constant the entire time. I may have also improperly used the term "centripetal acceleration" to refer to the idea that in uniform circular motion, the acceleration vector always points to the center of the circular...
IMO media attention is just a bad thing. No matter what you do, unless you shut them up completely they'll always dramatize some story, no matter how dull, banal the story itself actually is. That's how they make their money.
OT, this girl sounds awesome! I wish her much success in the future.
Homework Statement
A car is going around a circular track at constant velocity. What direction is the net force acting on the car pointing to?

Fnet = ma[/B]
Fnet = m(v^2/r) --> don't really know if this will help me understand it, but if this will help me understand what's...
Yeah, I just realized it may also be due to multi-tasking inadvertently, because that is most possibly the one thing that happens when I do homework or simply practice sometimes, which does ruin focus. Also thank you for making that note Photon, I'll make sure to do the same thing this time...
So I've been doing relatively well in all of my classes so far since I've started university and even though I end up doing good enough to get the grades I want in the end, a common issue I keep coming across whenever I'm practicing problems, be it word or straight up calculus problems (stuff...
Oh wow, I can't believe I made the mistake of leaving Voy*t in the expression. Now it makes sense!
Thanks for putting up with my block of text and getting straight to the point! I'll retry the problem later when I get back to it armed with this correction.
Homework Statement
Julie throws a ball to her friend Sarah. The ball leaves Julie's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground with an initial speed of 18 m/s at an angle 39 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Sarah catches the ball 1.5 meters above the ground.
5) After catching the...

A red ball is thrown down with an initial speed of 1.3 m/s from a height of 26 meters above the ground. The force of gravity due to the Earth results in the balls each having a constant downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2.
What is the speed of the red ball right before it...
Ah, sorry for the incorrect terminology. It seems not doing much physics work for a week causes me to forget simple things!
Thank you for the tip, I realized I had to think about that after sorting out the information given. I can't believe I forgot such a simple thing!
I ended up revising the...
Homework Statement
Anna is driving from Champaign to Indianapolis on I-74. She passes the Prospect Ave. exit at noon and maintains a constant speed of 75 mph for the entire trip. Chuck is driving in the opposite direction. He passes the Brownsburg, IN exit at 12:30pm and maintains a constant...
Hi all,
I'm a freshman that's about to begin my second semester taking 3 technical courses and 1 gen-ed course. I've gotten accustomed to studying for math and science classes in university, but I have to take this non-western gen-ed (and due to scheduling conflicts with my main 3 classes, I'm...
Another thing I'd greatly recommend is to talk with your peers/professors about the material. Being able to discuss with others/teach others why something makes sense is the best way to make sure you understand the concept at hand. If there's a difficult concept you're dealing with, and you may...
