Foo - Please Help me with Physics homework!!!

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

lol, webassign.

I had two semesters of doing physics homework on there. I'm glad I'm done with it. :p

btw, no one will be able to log in and see the assignment unless they are enrolled in your class. Maybe you could just tell us the problem?

I'm sure it will help when they check the web logs and see a bunch of hits linked from bikeforums.net. And considering that your user name appears to be embedded in the link, they'll know it was you too. IBepicFail.

If you jump from a high window, you won't have to turn in the homework and we should be able to measure the speed and velocity of your descent.

Two suggestions:
1. Buy textbook.
2. Do your own homework.

+1. I like physics, I pretty much rock at it. Unless you're above first/second level college physics and into theoretical, in which case I know enough to sound smart. But I doubt you would decide to post your postulations on string theory in Foo.

The value of g on the moon is 1/6 of its value on Earth.

(a) Would a ball that is dropped by an astronaut hit the surface of the moon with a smaller, equal, or larger speed than that of a ball dropped from the same height to Earth?
The ball will hit the moon with a smaller speed because the acceleration due to gravity is more on the moon.
The ball will hit the moon with a smaller speed because the acceleration due to gravity is more on the moon.
The ball will hit the moon with a smaller speed because the acceleration due to gravity is less on the moon.
The ball will hit the moon with a larger speed because the acceleration due to gravity is less on the moon.


(b) Would it take the ball more, less, or equal time to fall?

No please. Ok I did about 10 of them got them right. But im stuck on this one

A tennis ball is thrown straight up with an initial speed of 22.5 m/s. It is caught at the same distance above the ground.

(a) How high does the ball rise?
wrong check mark m

(b) How long does the ball remain in the air? (Hint: The time it takes the ball to rise equals the time it takes to fall.)

I dont know how to setup the equation.

avmanansala
09-23-08, 08:19 PM
Hint: the ball going up is fighting gravity and is decellerating at 9.8m/s^2 and stopping at 0m/s; then in accellerates at 9.8 m/s^2 until it reaches its initial speed at which it is caught. You are looking for TIME. If you can determine how long it takes to go up OR how long it takes to go down, you can determine how high it is.

Now read my tag line.

If it is asking you to find the distance, find the area of the triangle (or the area "under the curve" for the given times.) So for 0<t<5, the area under the curve is 30*5/2=75m

I only answersed the first one and put an answer of 30 m which was obviously too easy to be the answer. Im not sure how to do this one.30 is the velocity at the end of the interval. You're supposed to find the distance traveled during the interval. Remember that distance is the product of velocity and time. At the beginning of the time interval, velocity was 0. What was the average velocity?

The distance traveled between two points in time on a graph of velocity with respect to time is simply the area underneath the plot between those two points in time. So, just integrate between the two time points in question and there you go.
