i rounded of course.. sigfigs.. 1.1914 = 1.2
 
Physics news on Phys.org
okay thanks that's what i got, but now for the second part am i going to use Sy = VyT + g(t squared) times .5
 
well first of all u can use that.. but u won't use g.. u will use a, which u solved for.. remember 1411.76...however that's the longer way.. do it this way

Vf=Vo+at (sorry if i use a and V, that's the way i am taught, instead of S)

ok.. but what does that have to do with him and i being in the same class?

Apologies. I'm not used to getting hammered by two people at the same time. I get confused. You seem to be asking the same questions and I thought you might be working on the same problem. This is a really good reason not the break into somebody else's thread with your own problem.
 
the final velocity =0, initial velocity= known, once u get the time.. u know what to do next.
 
okay so for time i got = 2.38s is that right>?

well yes.. but it wasn't really a problem it was just something i needed reassurance. and today is my first day here.. I'm learning. my apologies
 
but i don't know the force so how can i find impulse.
 
im not sure, but that doesn't look right.. what did u do?
 
i did V= Vinitial + at and for V initial i used 58
ooooooo wait i accidentaly squared 58...
so now for t I am getting = .04108s
 
there is an easier way to do this.. impulse= f(delta T), but it is also = mV1-mV2
 
so is the impulse = 4930.002?
 
or do i multiply 4930 by 1.2 E 5?
 
1.2 times 10 to the 5th power
 
Omg
Thank You!
You Are The BEST!

Nvm What I Said In Post 64.
 
THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME. I MIGHT TO physics c next year. but i don't know yet. anways THANKS
 
lol ok np, btw what grade are u in? I am a senior
 
yup, u should also try to help out ppl... when u think u know how to do it
 
YAH OF COURSE I WILL.
thanks again.
it was really nice of you to stay up soo late and help me
 
physicsbhelp I really think you go to my school because I have this same exact problem and I am also a junior in Physics B.
 
that does not matter, and i go to a very big college--not a school (do you mean high school??) so there is no chance i know you because you have asked me before where i live, and i do not live in that state. now leave me alone, please.
