I need help with Q4. I can't figure out what equation I should use to find the velocity. I think it would be a combination of the velocity formulas for x and y but I'm not sure. My 4 simplified equations are:
1. Vxf = Vxi
2. (delta)x = Vxi * (delta)t
3. Vyf = 9.8 m/s^2 * (delta)t
4. (delta)y = 1/2(9.8 m/s^2) * (delta)t^2
For my data I have:
(delta)y = 0.6604 meters
(delta) t = 0.367 seconds
I don't need the answer or a long explanation, I really just can't figure out what equation/formula I need to use to find "the velocity of your object as it rolls off the incline and enters free-fall."
The Grand Canyon is 6000 feet deep at the deepest part. A rock is dropped from this height. (The acceleration due to gravity is -32 feet/sec2.)
a. Express the height of the rock as a function of the time (in seconds).
b. How long will it take the rock to hit the canyon floor?
c. With what velocity does the rock hit the canyon floor? With what acceleration?
A. The velocity of a car increases from +2.0 m/s to +16.0 m/s in a time period of 3.5 s. What was the average acceleration?
B. If an automobile slows from +26 m/s to +18 m/s in a period of 4.0 s, what was the average acceleration?
