    A ball is thrown up at 20 m/s at an agle of 15 degrees

    Yeah, it's an issue with my math. I have not taken math in high school since the original September 11th, so you can guess my age... What is the operation called apart from quadratic equation. I have to figure this stuff out from square one. Thank you for the help.

    A ball is thrown up at 20 m/s at an agle of 15 degrees

    I get that. I don't understand why the book suggests there are two answers 0 and 1.1 I am missing something basic I think.

    A ball is thrown up at 20 m/s at an agle of 15 degrees

    Homework Statement A ball is thrown upwards at 20 m/s at an angle of 15 degrees to ground. How long until the ball touches the ground? Givens for vertical: Acceleration = -9.8m/s2 v1= 5.2 m/s (20SIN15) v2=0 displacement=0 t=? Givens for horizontal Acceleration= 19.3 m/s (20COS15)...

    How to measure amperes with a constant current welder?

    Lincoln Cathedral? You mean the big red "tombstone" or "buzzbox" as they are colloquially known? The specs on that are comparable to the thunderbolt. Both sound like they contain a mechanical particle accelerator of some sort :) The Miller is infinitely adjustable and the Lincoln is tapped at...

    How to measure amperes with a constant current welder?

    The wires are individually insulated. #0 gauge. Those clamp on deals look pricey. I'll see if I can bum one off of someone and report back. Thanks.

    How to measure amperes with a constant current welder?

    Hi guys and gals. I have a constant current welder. 150 Amps DC/ 230 Amps AC output. There is no provision for measuring output current when the machine is welding. I'm thinking of adding a shunt to either the work lead or the return lead. I don't know what size and rating I need. The input...
