AI Thread Summary
A stone is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +7.0 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of -9.81 m/s². To determine the velocity after 0.5 seconds, the equation vf = vi + at can be applied. Substituting the values, vf = 7.0 m/s + (-9.81 m/s² * 0.5 s) results in a final velocity of approximately +1.5 m/s. The discussion emphasizes the importance of using the correct kinematic equation for one-dimensional motion. Understanding the direction of the throw is crucial for accurate calculations.

1. A stone is thrown with an initial velocity of +7.0 m/s. The acceleration of the stone is a constant and has the value of -9.81m/s^2.What is the velocity of the stone after 0.5s?



2. Homework Equations
vf=vi+at?
i have no idea



3. The Attempt at a Solution
i can't find the right equation to put this in

What direction is it thrown? Never mind--your title suggests 1D motion, so I presume straight up.

You have the correct equation. Use it!

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
