    Projectile motion - Finding velocity (not given time or angle)

    Homework Statement A baseball is hit so that it reaches a maximum height of 20.0m and travels 90.0m before hitting the ground. With what velocity is the ball hit?The Attempt at a Solution I'm confused, i went into trying to find the time but i couldn't without a given angle. I went to say...

    Solving for When Ball is 25m Above Ground

    quadratic of t? doesn't the equation already cancel out t^2 leaving t as an individual component?

    Solving for When Ball is 25m Above Ground

    im trying to use y = yo + vit + 0.5at^2 which simplifies to y = vit + 0.5at^2 which then for to i used t = 2(y-vi)/a = 2(25-34.6)/-9.8 t = 1.9s Not sure if that is the answer but that's the equation with all of its components in it that i'v found.

    Solving for When Ball is 25m Above Ground

    Cant seem to find an equation that works well with the values i have. There's always a component which i don't have and can't find without time in the equations i have or vice versa to finding time.

    Solving for When Ball is 25m Above Ground

    Homework Statement A ball is kicked at a velocity of 40.0 ms at 60 degrees above the horizontal/ a) When is the ball 25.0m above the ground? The Attempt at a Solution First i broke them down into there x and y components but having problems on the (25.0m) part. I did Vix = 40 cos 60 = 20...

    How Much Force to Pull a 1 Tonne Rock Up a 30 Degree Slope?

    Thanks both of you for your replies Yes i forgot its actually the weight from the rock, thanks for reminding me

    How Much Force to Pull a 1 Tonne Rock Up a 30 Degree Slope?

    1. A 1 tonne rock is being dragged up a 30 degree slope using the a pulley system. If there is a constant resistance to movement between the rock and the ground of 350N, calculate the minimum force necessary to drag the rock up the slope. 2. 3. All i got so far is 1t = 1000kg...

    Undergrad Solving Brightness Equation with Procyon: 7L☉ and 11.41 light years

    Thanks guys, i found out that i put 7L☉/ 4π(11.41)₂ as a fraction in the calculator... -_- haha thank your very much for your help vbillej

    Undergrad Solving Brightness Equation with Procyon: 7L☉ and 11.41 light years

    I just don't get what 7L☉ is, i looked up L☉ but i still don't really understand how the answer was 0.004 L☉. Like how would i put 7L☉ into a calculator.

    Undergrad Solving Brightness Equation with Procyon: 7L☉ and 11.41 light years

    In a question is says that Brightness = Luminosity/4πr₂ (for a star). Procyon = 7L☉ and 11.41 light years as distance. the equation in B= 7L☉/ 4π(11.41)₂ the answer turned out to be 0.004 L☉ watts per square light year (its a textbook question). What i don't understand is what is 7L☉...
