    How High Does the Rocket Clear the Wall?

    Don't you find the maximum vertical displacement by using the formula y=vytI found the time by using the formula t=1/2gt^2 g= -9.8 m/s^2 to get time= 1.5 seconds I then found the vertical velocity by using sine(trig) sin60º(75) to get 64.95 m/s Then Plugged it in y= 64.95(1.5) =97.4m -...

    Solving Bullet Speed and Time in Gun Barrel

    For your info, I'm not asking for the answer, just numbers to go with the variables. Then I can answer it myself. Thanks

    Solving Bullet Speed and Time in Gun Barrel

    Can someone relate the numbers that go with the variables? That way it'll make the problem easier. I still haven't been able to figure this out, and it's killing me. My uncle told me... d= V[SIZE="1"]ot, which algebraically would be distance/velocity so i got .5/200=.0025 but for some...

    Solving Bullet Speed and Time in Gun Barrel

    Those variables arn't the same in my textbook. Unfortunately, my book was copyrighted in 1992, I use v as the final velocity, Vo as the final d, don't know what you mean. PHYSICS SUCKS AND IM GOING TO FAIL SO I QUIT I can't even do VECTORS.

    Solving Bullet Speed and Time in Gun Barrel

    Want to tell me what those variables stand for? Thanks. (V, I don't have the velocity, f? wtf does that mean? i? wtf? I can't even get the acceleration b/c i don't know the velocity.

    How Do You Calculate Vector Differences and Resultant Forces?

    I got it! Or at least I think I do. One of the answers is 200N East, The other one is 200 N West. How Did i get this? The sum equals 400, so 200+200= 400N east, since it's already pointing east in the first place. When it goes west, it's different. It starts pointing due east at 200N...
