Time interval Definition and 62 Threads

For an egg drop project, I have to calculate the time interval for which the force won't exceed 3 Newtons. The egg is dropped from a height of 12.19 meters, and the vehicle that carries it weights .454 kg. Calculating the force, I get .454kg*9.8 m/s^2m which equates to 4.44 Newtons. Is the 4.44...

Homework Statement I am bit confused about the expression for finding the space time intervel. Some books say it is, (spacetime intervel)^{2}=(time intervel)^{2} - (space intervel)^{2} while some books say it is, (spacetime intervel)^{2}=(space...

Thank you for taking the time to read this lengthy post. A car starts moving rectilinearly, first with acceleration a=5m/s2(the initial velocity is 0) then uniformly, and finally, decelerating at the same rate a, comes to stop.The total time of motion equals 25 seconds. The average velocity...

Homework Statement An object falls from the top of a 103.6m high building. The vertical distance between two consecutive windows A and B is 4.0m. The first window/storey is also 4m from the top of the building. The object reaches window B 0.1s after it has reached window A. Which...

Homework Statement A balls roll along a straight path with the following velocity and time intervals 3.0 s at +15.0 m/s 7.0 s at +20 m/s 6.0 s at -30 m/s 4.0 s at 3.5 m/s What is the displacement in the last 5.0-15.0 time interval: I've been looking at this question for a good 30...

Craig Hogen, in his paper Indeterminacy of Holographic Quantum Geometry, Phys. Rev D 78, 087501 (2008), has claimed noise seen in output of the GEO600 interferometric gravitational-wave detector is evidence for a fundamental minimum interval time. What is the time-line for the survival of this...

A mountain climber stands at the top of a 59.4 m cliff that over hangs a pool of water. He throws 2 stones vertically downwards 1.77s apart and they cause a single splash. first stone initial velocity= -2.06m/s acceleration of gravity 9.8m/s^2 How long after release of first stone will the...

Homework Statement A plane lands with a speed of 80.0 m/s and can accelerate with a maximum magnitude of 6.00 m/s^2 as it comes to rest. From the instant the plane touches the runway, what is the minimum time interval needed before it can come to rest? b. what is the minimum distance the...

Homework Statement A ball is thrown downward with initial speed of 8m/s from a height of 30m. Homework Equations \After what time interval does the ball strike the ground The Attempt at a Solution acceleration will equal -9.8m/s^2 because it's free fall would i use equation...

i find in the literature in different textbooks the term proper time Thomas A. Moore, Six Ideas that Shaped Physics (McGraw-Hill) 1998 and the term proper time interval Yuan Zhong Zhang, Special Rekativity and its Fundamental Foundations, (World scientific ) I consider that the first is...

I'm suppossed to find the average acceleration of the mass during the time interval from -t to t. The formula I'm using is a(-t,t)=\frac{(v(t)-v(-t))}{(t-(-t))} I've already derived v(t) and v(-t) but I'm not sure how to simplify them after subtracting them. v(t)=-R\omega sin(\omega...

suppose there are 2 starships, A and B, moving towards each other wuth a relative velocity of 0.999c. they pass each other at time t=t0. after moving a certian distance (relative), they stop(relative to each other), turn around and again statr moving towards each other with the same velocity, of...
