Homework Statement


Estimate the time between each photoflash of the apple in Fig. 2-18 (or number of photoflashes per second). Assume the apple is about 10 cm in diameter. [Hint: Use two apple positions, but not the unclear ones at the top.]

Homework Equations


All we have learned in class is the 3 kinematic equations but I haven't been able to figure this one out.[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution


I've tried plugging values into the kinematics but every time I'm missing too many variables to carry on.

I gave the thread a more descriptive title.

Please show your work, otherwise it is impossible to tell what went wrong.
