    Kinematic Equations: V_0, V, t, a, x

    Since a good amount of the posts refer to problems involving kinematics I figured this may be helpful V_0 = Inital Velocity V = Final Velocity t= time a= acceleration x= distance x=V_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2 V=V_0+at V^2=V_0^2+2ax x= \frac{1}{2}(V_0+V)*t

    Solving Kinematic Q: Plane Releasing Package, Angle of Velocity Vector

    I've been trying this question, but I doubt the first answer... An airplane with speed 97.5m/s is climbing upward at an angle of 50.0degrees with respect to the horizontal. When the plane's altitude is 732m, the pilot releases a package. (a) Calculate the distance along the ground, measured...

    Difficult Kinematic Range Problem

    Kinematic Range Problem Help! This problem is kicking my butt... A ball is to be shot from level ground with a certain speed. The figure attached shows the range R it will have versus the launch angle 'theta'at which it can be launched. (The vertical axis is marked in increments of 20.0 m.)...

    Solve a Simple Kinematic Question: Space Shuttle Landing Acceleration

    I have a pretty simple high school physics question and hope anyone here can answer it. Question - A space shuttle is coming in for a landing and is approaching the runway with a speed of 450km/h and at an range of 40 degrees below the horizontal. It smoothly changes direction so that when it...

    Solving Kinematic Problems: Police Car Skid Marks

    Kinematic problems! hi there,here is my problem The police observe that the skid marks of a stopping car are 200m long. Assuming the car decelerated at a constant rate of 20m/s^2,skidding all the way, how fast was the car going when the brakes were applied? i think we can solve the...
