Motion in 1d Definition and 23 Threads

I have done the first two parts of this question. ✅(i) Find the clubhead's change of momentum. ( dp = p_f - p_i = (0.225*18 - 0.225*30) = -2.7 kg ms^-1 ) ✅(ii) Find the impulse given to the golf ball. (F dt = dp = 2.7 Ns from part (i) with just a change in the units. Because of the...

So this isn't actually a homework question, it's a question that was on the test I just took and I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. I've tried solving it three or four different ways, double checking everything, and I keep getting ##15 + 3\sqrt {15}## or ~26.6, which was not one of the...

I got to the quadratic equation of the motion where: 4gt^(2) - g(delta t)t - g(delta t) = 0 and tried to solve for t. In this case, we would take the positive discriminate since we are dealing with the passing of time. t = ((sqrt(17) g(delta t)) + g (delta t)) / (8g) However, this is the...

I solved this and got 27.3 seconds so basically what I did was found the headtsart of the slower car (15.6 m/s times 6.65 seconds) but the answer given is 33.9 seconds and it uses the second (faster cars speed) to find the head start distance. Which answer is correct and why? Thanks so much

Hi. My question is for now why the equation of x as a function of time for phase of motion ab is ##x=50t-375##? Shouldn't that be ##x=375+50t##?

Hi. My question is regarding toy car A. If the car moves to the left, is the constant acceleration of ##2.40 \frac {cm} {s^2}## to the left or to the right?

Homework Statement Serway Physics Section 2.4 Acceleration 14. A 50.0-g Super Ball traveling at 25.0 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 22.0 m/s. A high-speed camera records this event. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 3.50 ms, what is the magnitude of the average...

Hello, I am trying to accurately simulate motion in 1D with a jerk that is changing non-linearly, but predictably. As an arbitrary example, picture jerk increasing logarithmically over time. This is being done in the context of a physics simulation that is 'stepping' frame-by-frame (ie 60...

Homework Statement To save fuel, some truck drivers try to maintain a constant speed when possible. A truck traveling at 91.0 km/hr approaches a car stopped at the red light. When the truck is 115.7 meters from the car the light turns green and the car immediately begins to accelerate at...

Homework Statement A jetliner leaves San Franciso for New york, 4600 km away. With a strong tailwind, its speed is 1100 km/hr. At the same time, a s2nd jet leaves New York for San Francisco. Flying into the wind, it makes only 700 km/hr. When and where do the two planes pass each other...

Homework Statement A tortoise can run with a speed of 0.10 m/s, and a hare can run 20 times as fast. In a race, they both start at the same time, but the hare stops to rest for 5.0 minutes. The tortoise wins by a shell (40 cm). (a) How long does the race take? (s) (b) What is the length of...

A suspicious-looking man runs as fast as he can along a moving sidewalk from one end to the other, taking 2.50 s. Then security agents appear and the man runs as fast as he can back along the sidewalk to his starting point, taking 8.00 s. What is the ratio of the man's running speed to the...
