    Time Dilation: Impact on GPS Accuracy

    Hey there guys I just have a question to ask some of you. Given the occurence of time dilation being related to an objects state of motion I have an interesting thought. This is a very general question, my teacher only briefly covered this topic in class as it's not part of our course but it...

    Estimating Car Speed from Skid Marks

    Homework Statement In coming to a stop a car leaves skid marks 92m long on the highway. Assuming a decceleration of 7.00 m/s^2 , estimate the SPEED of the car just before braking. I have a question though, is my approach ok? You can see my confusion in various parts of my procedures below...

    Acceleration Problem: Solving for Constant Acceleration with Kinematic Equations

    Homework Statement I'd just like someone to see if I answered correctly. I'm having a bit of difficulty grasping the vagueness of the displacement in these questions I've been getting in my textbook. From what I gather the displacement is relative to the vector points, (the two x points in...

    Projectile Motion: Solving for Vx and Vy

    I have another question. My projectile starts at point 0,5 I am given this formula to solve the range of the projectile if y isn't equal to 0 I'm fine with it until the end, it says y0, why y0? Does it just mean insert the value of y that the projectile starts at?

    Solving Quadratic Equation Using Box Factoring

    Homework Statement f(x)=6x^2+9x-6 Where does this function intersect the x-axis (i.e. what are the roots or zeroes of f(x))? Solve by factoring using the Box Method. When I use the method that is shown on this website http://www.purplemath.com/modules/factquad2.htm for this...

    Algebra Inverse Function Problem

    That the domain is limited and does not include all real numbers for the function. I guess it sets a domain limit?

    Algebra Inverse Function Problem

    Homework Statement f(x)=(x-3)^2 -1 for x ≥3 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I am having difficulty grasping the concept of changing the greater than or equal to part of the equation above to it's inverse form. If for x it says x≥3 then how would that statement be...
