i become frustrated with physics and throw my calculator out my bedroom window. what is the downward acceleration of my calculator?

9.8 or 10 m/s/s

100

the location of an object at a certain time

what is position?

200

what equation do i use to find the change in velocity from 1s to 5s if acceleration is given as 4t2

integrate acceleration from 1 to 5

200

the slope of a velocity v time graph

what is acceleration

200

if i throw an object straight up, what velocity does it have at its max height

what is 0

a baby bird leaves the nest from 5m high in the tree. unfortunately, it never learned to fly. how long does it take to hit the conveniently placed trampoline on the ground? what vertical velocity does it have then?

1 s, -9.8 m/s

200

the rate of change of an object's position with respect to time

what is velocity?

300

i have v0 = 3 m/s, vf = 7 m/s, and a = 2m/s/s. how do i find the time passed between v0 and vf

vf = v0 + at --> 7 = 3 + 2t

300

the integral of a velocity v time graph

what is change in position / displacement

300

if i toss a ball to my friend with an initial horizontal velocity of 5 m/s and my friend is 7 m away, what is the ball's final horizontal velocity

5 m/s

i throw a rock with mass m downwards off a cliff with velocity v0. it lands below the cliff with velocity v1. Dr. Wilcox throws another rock with mass 2m upwards off the cliff with velocity v0. it lands below the cliff with velocity v2. what is the ratio v1:v2

1:1. they land with the same velocity

300

the rate of change of an object's velocity with respect to time

what is acceleration?

400

what equation do i use to find final position if i know initial position is x = 4m, initial velocity is 4 m/s, acceleration is - 7 m/s, and i waited 26 seconds?

x = x0 + v0t + .5at2

400

the integral of a acceleration v time graph

what is change in velocity

400
the optimal launch angle for a projectile to go the furthest distance

what is 45 degrees

400

i throw a rock off a 150 m cliff with an upwards velocity 10 m/s. how long should i wait to drop a second rock from rest off the cliff so they land together?

6.567 - 5.477 = 1.09 seconds

400

the non vector version of velocity (doesn't care about direction)

what is speed?

500

how do i find my ending velocity if i know starting velocity is 2m/s, acceleration is 5m/s/s, and change in position is 6m

v2 = v02 + 2a(x - x0) --> v = sqrt(22 + 2(5)(6))

500

plotting y = y0 + v0t + .5at2 where y = 0, y0 = 100, v0 = 15 m/s, and a =g, how do i find time?

x of the first occurring positive x-intercept

i kick a ball at v=10m/s so it makes a 30 degree angle with the ground. i kick another ball at v=10m/s so it makes a 60 degree angle with the ground. what is the difference in the distance traveled?

what is 0

Marvin is hang gliding at 2000 m in the air, traveling 20 m/s in the positive x direction. His initial x position is at x=0. Oh no! he drops his wallet. At what x coordinate on the ground should i stand to catch his wallet

what is 400 m

500

the net change in position of an object

what is displacement?
