It's an example exercise related to the fundamental principles of mechanics. Ah, physics class, how I miss thee. Artificial Intelligence is a bit more demanding.What?

i wish all the physics problems i've done were like that. that wasn't too bad of a problem either, i was fine with the kinematics, but i goofed on the vector angle. julie, were you given that to solve for a class, or did you just find it randomly?

Considering that there is (purposefully it seems) no y component in this problem, it's quite simple. Vector angles are fun! Ahh the days of projectile calculations.....

Vectors were easier than most things I've done in physics. Visualizing objects moving is a lot easier than things dealing with charges and such.
If the world is so unfair, why isn't it ever unfair in my favor?

I dunno I took several electronic engineering courses in junior college and loved it. The hardest subjects I had in physics (basic physics, unfortunately) were acoustics and certain optics problems.

the hardest problem i've ever done in physics was that nerf one, seeing as how i haven't taken physics before. i've taken a "pre-physics" course, but that wasn't really anything more than: "a small cretin drops a rock off of a cliff at 40 feet, what is it's final velocity when it hits the ground?"

They solve it on the web page. It's a sample problem.did anyone solve it? im stumped.

Well, you can tell it's a ballgun in that pic. Must be Goo...Heh, I was searching for those elusive X-Stream guns when I found this page. Hmm, 22 feet, must be unmodded.

Who the hell works in feet when doing physics? other than that, Its kinda cool that some prof. has the brains to do that.

Sometimes using conversion factors is part of the problem on purpose. I mean outside of scientists who the hell in the US uses meters?
