    Graphing question: Reversal of x and y axis & effect on slope and y-intercept

    Homework Statement How does the slope and y-intercept change if you reverse the x and y-axis of a linear graph. Will the graph still be linear? The original y=mx+b format followed the physics equation: V^2 = 2a(d) + Vi^2 Therefore, when y was "V^2" while x was "d", the y-intercept was Vi^2...

    Solve for Initial Speed: Dropping Chestnuts from a Tree

    Thank you for your reply! I think I was making things a bit too complicated. Would it work if I found the velocity of C1 after falling 2.5 m (I got -7.0 m/s, like I showed above), then found the time it took C1 to fall from 7.5 m to 0 m, using Formula 2: Formula 2: 0 = 7.5 + (-7.0)(t) +...

    Solve for Initial Speed: Dropping Chestnuts from a Tree

    Homework Statement While sitting on a tree branch 10.0 m above the ground, you drop a chesnut. When the chestnut has fallen 2.5 m, you throw a second one straight down. What initial speed must you give the 2nd chestnut if they are both to reach the ground at the same time? Other variables...
