    Relative Motion problem that doesn't have right triangle relationship

    can you explain a little bit further in, I've never done anything like this, we didn't study ijk method at all in class before. I feel really stupid, but none of this really make sense to me

    Relative Motion problem that doesn't have right triangle relationship

    Homework Statement a) Find the speed of the boat with respect to the Earth. (km/h) b) Find the speed of the boat with respect to the river if the boat's heading in the water is 60° south east (km/h) Homework Equations v(x) = v cos(θ) v(y) = v sin(θ) v = √(vx^2+vy^2) but can't use it in...

    How to Calculate Average Acceleration with a Non-Straight Graph

    so you're saying it should look like: (3-4)/(2-0) and yes, it does end up as -0.5 (or -1/2) and that's how I initially solved the problem at the very start but when I plugged this answer into the webassign homework, it listed it as an incorrect one, which is why I started seeking for help and...

    How to Calculate Average Acceleration with a Non-Straight Graph

    Homework Statement Here's the graph: http://i.imgur.com/uUXPO.jpg What is the average acceleration between t=0s and t=2s? Homework Equations a avg = change in velocity / change in time ; (Vf-Vi)/(tf-ti) The Attempt at a Solution I know how to solve it if it was just a straight line where I...
