    Find the initial velocity of a projectile

    Homework Statement So it's based off of a track&field long jumper. Calculate the initial speed, v0, of a long-jumper where d=7.87 m. Assume a take-off angle of 21.4°, an initial height of the centre-of-mass of 0.920 m, and a final height of 0.460 m. So I use the range equation for...

    Linear Algebra Solving a System of LE

    Basically when I solve it I get z = 0 then y = -z and x = -z There's no unique solution I guess. I was specifically looking for a unique solution. I think that was my problem.

    Linear Algebra Solving a System of LE

    2R2 + R2 = | 1 -3 -2 0 | -1 2 1 0 0 8 8 0 R1 + R2 = | 0 -3 -2 0 | 0 -1 -1 0 0 8 8 0 8R + R3 = | 1 -3 -2 0 | 0 -1 -1 0 0 0 0 0 So I was left with 2 equations. x -3y -2z = 0 -y -z = 0...

    What is the strength of the gravitational field?

    So g = G(-m)/r^2 where G = 6.67x10^-11 r = 2000m So I get m = -5.997x10^16 x g So then I equate what you were saying about reducing the density as much as the oil reduces the density of the earth. -5.997x10^16 x g / 900 kg/m^3 = 2700kg/m^3 And I solve for g and I get -4.05x10^-11 m/s^2.
