Acceleration, Distance, Velocity and time equations.

SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving physics problems related to acceleration, distance, velocity, and time equations. Key equations mentioned include average acceleration (A avg. = delta v / delta t), distance (x = v^2 / 2a), and time (t = v/a). The user expresses difficulty in verifying their solutions for specific problems (numbers 22, 49, and 50) due to the absence of their teacher. They also highlight a potential error in calculating the total height for a projectile problem involving an initial velocity of 12 m/s.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of kinematic equations in physics
  • Familiarity with concepts of acceleration and velocity
  • Basic algebra skills for manipulating equations
  • Knowledge of projectile motion principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Review kinematic equations and their applications in physics
  • Practice solving projectile motion problems with varying initial velocities
  • Learn how to calculate total height in projectile motion scenarios
  • Explore online physics simulation tools for visualizing motion
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those tackling kinematics and projectile motion problems, as well as educators looking for examples of common student challenges in these topics.

Homework Statement



I can only attach one file So I will put a link to flickr.

Homework Equations


A avg.= delta v / delta t
x=v^2/2a
t=v/a



The Attempt at a Solution



I have to do these problems for homework and usually when I have an issue with it I ask my teacher, thing is he has been out for the past two days and this is due tomorrow. All of them have work and equations on them but I do not know if they are correct. On numbers 22, 49, and 50 I could not find a logical answer. I think I may have the wrong equation for those.

At your first problem, I don't think you used the correct height. Your total height equals 75 m plus the height that stone achieves after being thrown from the edge of the cliff with initial velocity of 12 m/s.
