Clinometer
This is the first step to solving a clinometer problem.
What is "subtracting 90"?
This is the variable for final velocity.
What is vf?
This is the variable for time.
What is t?
This is the symbol for meters.
What is m?
In the following equation, This is the value of "a".
4.905t2 - 31.0t + 11 = 0
What is 4.905?
This is the second step to solving a clinometer problem
What is "convert feet to meters"?
This is the variable for initial velocity.
What is vi?
This is the first step to solving for t in the following equation:
vf = vi + at
What is "subtract vi" from both sides?
This is the symbol for seconds?
What is s?
In the following equation, This is the value of "b".
4.905t2 - 31.0t + 11 = 0
What is -31.0?
This is the third step to solving a clinometer problem.
What is "multiply tan (angle) by the adjacent"?
This is the variable for acceleration/gravity.
What is "a" or "g"?
This is the second step to solving for t in the following equation:
vf = vi + at
What is "divide both sides by a"?
These are the units for velocity.
What is m/s?
In the following equation, This is the value of "c".
4.905t2 - 31.0t + 11 = 0
What is 11?
This is the last step to solving a clinometer problem.
What is add the "average height"?
What is x?
This is the final step to solving for t in the following equation:
vf = vi + at
This is the formula to solve for final velocity.
What is "vf = vi + 2at"?
In the following equation, 4.905t2 - 31.0t + 11 = 0, this is what it would look like in the quadratic formula.
This is 31+ sqrt(-312 -4(-4.905)(11))/2(4.905)
A student uses a clinometer to measure the angle to the top of a communications tower. They measure the distance to the tower: 95 feet. If the average height of the person’s eye to the ground is 1.6 meters and the angle of the clinometer is 65°, what is the height of the tower?
What is 63.66 meters?
A rocket is thrust upward with an initial velocity of 31.0 m/s and this is how high it goes.
What is 49 meters?
A rocket is thrust upward with an initial velocity of 31.0 m/s. This is how much time it takes for the rocket to reach 49 meters.
What is 3.16 seconds?
A rocket is thrust upward with an initial velocity of 31.0 m/s for a total flight time of 6.32 seconds. This is the velocity when it returns to the ground.
What is 31.06 m/s?
A rocket is thrust upward with an initial velocity of 31.0 m/s. This is the time when the rocket passes a point 11.00 m above the launch pad.
What is .37 seconds?
