Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


well all we have to do is sove for the variable indicated...but i really don't understand how to solve for the variables..lol, just basic high school physics. maybe I'm thinking too hard, but i seriosly need some help guys :( i solved a few of them, but idk if they're right, lolol :P i'd really appreciate it if you could also show your work! haha

You will not get any help if you don't show your work. Post your results and someone may help you if there are any errors.
 
Have you studied algebra yet? All you are asked to do is manipulate the given equation to solve for the indicated variable. You don't need to know what the equation is for.
 
Thread locked, due to no work shown by OP.
