PHYSICS HOMEWORK

Here are some of the answers to the homework.

The idea is to do the problem then check your answer. If you get it incorrect; go back and attempt to find the mistake. It is better for your understanding if you can find your own mistakes and learn from them.

#3a) 5.1s
#3b) (214.2m) answer with correct sig. figs. is 210m
#4) 31m/s (this is a tough problem because you will have two unknowns in the equation)
Steps I used are as follows:
1. I broke the "unknown" vector into its components (you don't get a number, just a trig. equation for each component)
2. I used the swiss army equation twice, one in y direction and the other in x direction (at this point each equation has two unknowns, but we are OK because they are the exact same unknowns, Vi and t.
3. I then did algebra with the x direction swiss army for t
4. I then substituted it into the y direction swiss army as t (leaving only one unkown, Vi, which is the answer to the question)
#5) 78m
#6) (time is 4.0s) answer is 92m away from the cannon
