    Determining When and Where Water Balloons Meet

    i started to solve the problem by naming the unknows and what data is given. and i called the boy on the roof B1 and the other boy B2 i also have acceleration= 9.8 m/s2

    How Far Was the Turtle from the Fence Post at the Start?

    since i have velocity in sec3, i can used it as vf for section 2..is that right?

    How Far Was the Turtle from the Fence Post at the Start?

    ok, so first: i did a diagram divided into 3 sec: 1- when the turtle is going at constant acceleration (only initial velocity is given = 0) 2- when he gets to the fence (where time and displacement is given t=10 , d=10) 3- where he passes the tree (only velocity = 1.2m/s) is given =] in section...

    Determining When and Where Water Balloons Meet

    i drew the diagram...but i don't know how to start to solve, if you help me to get started i can do the rest

    How Far Was the Turtle from the Fence Post at the Start?

    i did try it,but i don't know it what i did is right, because i let 1.2 be the final velocity of the segment of motion where time and displacement is given, to find acceleration. But i don't know if what i did is right... =[

    Velocity and acceleration of a turtle

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

    Determining When and Where Water Balloons Meet

    tow students are randomly attacking each other with water balloons. one student is on the roof and the other is on the ground below. the student on the roof throws a water balloon straight down with an initial speed of 5.2m/s and the student below throws his up at a rate of 7.1m/s. if the...

    What is the work done by friction on a sliding box?

    1. a box of mass 12 kg slides at a speed of 10 m/s acros a smooth level floor, where it enters a rough portion 3.0 m in length. In the rough portion, the box experiences a horizontal friction force of 72N. a) how much work is done by the frictional force? b) what is the velocity of the box...
