compute the position of the sandbag at a time 0.330 s after release. v=5.00m/s & h=40.0m. i have tried using the equation x=xo+voxt+1/2axt^2, but i still can't get the answer.

I would suggest two things. First, that this be posted in the homework forum, and second, that you show us your attempt, and then we'll be more willing to help you.

yeah show us your work so we can help you..
 
Also, it may be better in future if you put in the title of your thread something that related to the question, since then when helpers are scanning through the list of threads, they will know whether they are able to help or not. (It's really in your best interest, since you will then get more people looking into your thread :smile:)
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
