Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around two physics problems involving projectile motion and the motion of an object falling off a desk. The first problem concerns a shell's trajectory during World War I, while the second involves a baseball rolling off a desk. Participants are seeking to understand the necessary equations and concepts to solve these problems.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants express uncertainty about the relevant equations needed to solve the problems. Some suggest that sharing work could help clarify understanding, while others emphasize the importance of attempting the problems independently.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants encouraging the original poster to engage with the material and attempt the problems. There is a suggestion to refer to external resources for equations, indicating a collaborative effort to guide understanding without providing direct answers.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention constraints such as the original poster's lack of access to a proper textbook and the pressure of an upcoming exam, which may affect their ability to engage with the homework effectively.

Homework Statement


During World War I, the Germans had a gun
called Big Bertha that was used to shell Paris.
The shell had an initial speed of 1.13 km/s at
an initial inclination of 42.4Degrees to the horizontal.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 :
How far away did the shell hit? Answer in
units of km.

How long was it in the air? Answer in units
of s.

----------------------------------------------------------------

An autographed baseball rolls off of a 0.81 m
high desk and strikes the floor 0.28 m away
from the desk.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 :
How fast was it rolling on the desk before it
fell off?
Answer in units of m=s.

Homework Equations


I don't know


The Attempt at a Solution


I'm not going to try an answer and get deducted points from this online HW system. Please answer first and then we can discuss these later. Hopefully later tomorrow. I have my PSATS tomorrow and I really need to finish this up and study for em. Thanks

Doesn't mean you can't show us your work. We will tell you if you're doing things right.
 
I can't show the work if I don't know the equations
 
Open your textbook and study the chapters then come back to us with an attempt.
 
I was never given a Pre-AP Textbook when I went advanced from Academic. My Academic book is poorly written as if its more like a Physics for Dummies book
