    Body thrown at an angle to the horizontal

    The answer says t = Vb - Va/g. Shouldn't it be Va + V(from highest point to point b)/g ?

    Angle on ramp with cart and weights on rope at end

    I believe the nx, Ty, and (fs)y are all 0. I could solve for theta if I could figure out (fs)x or ny. edit: Track is frictionless, so delete (fs) forces.

    I Dimension of an Angle: Clarifying the SI Standard

    Quickly estimate the value of this expression: sin(1.57). If your answer was about 1, then you assumed that 1.57 was a radian value. If your answer was about 0, you assumed that 1.57 was degrees. If you said that you can’t determine an answer, then you were expecting to see an angle...

    I've looked for this in a hundred places but I keep finding the unit length of the diagonal (root 3). I want to find the angle. i.e. the angle between the cube's diagonal and its three edges at a vertex (all three angles will be identical, of course). I guess I hoping to figure it out without...

    Critical angle (symmetry of refraction) confusion

    Refraction has a symmetry; on going from glass to air light at the glass air surfaces refracts away from the normal. If you turn the light source around and make the former refracted beam the incident beam then its refracted angle will be the former incident angle. So at critical angle, do the...

    Trigonometry Help: Calculating the Angle of Light Entry & Exit

    So what I did first was made the face of the triangle flat and calculated the angle the light entered it. This means the light enters the triangle from the base corner angle (so (180-38.8)/2) of 70.6 degrees. 1sin(70.6)=1.47sin(angle) angle=39.915 Now I need to find the angle it exits. But...
