One dimensional kinematics problem....?
The velocity of a diver just before hitting the water is -9.2 m/s, where the minus sign indicates that her motion is directly downward. What is her displacement during the last 1.02 s of the dive?
If solving, can you show the equations used and how you got there as well? Thank you!
1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoOne dimensional kinematics problem...?
In a historical movie, two knights on horseback start from rest 95 m apart and ride directly toward each other to do battle. Sir George's acceleration has a magnitude of 0.18 m/s2, while Sir Alfred's has a magnitude of 0.26 m/s2. Relative to Sir George's starting point, where do the knights collide?
If you can solve it, can you show the equations that you need to use and how you got there?
Thanks!!
1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoProblem with laptop speakers?
I've had my HP dv5 laptop for about a year, and just recently the speakers stopped working. The strange thing is, when I plug something into the audio jack (such as headphones, auxiliary speakers, etc...) those devices work fine and the sound comes through perfectly.
Has anybody experienced a similar issue to this, and found a solution to the problem, because it really is annoying.
Thanks, and happy holidays!

At this point I'm lost and don't know what to do..please help??
2 AnswersAdd-ons1 decade agoHow much should this automotive repair cost?
I recently got in a little scrape with a friend of mine. To me it seemed like the damage was minimal but the body shop somehow found $1055.00 worth of things to fix.
My friend drives a chevy, and the part above his front-left tire got bent inward a little towards the headlight. The headlight it self also may have bent a little.
I know this is pretty vague but I'm not sure of any other way to describe it. The headlight and turn signal work fine, and the car runs fine, it is simply a small bend. In your opinion, how much should this cost?

I'm hoping on going to the University of Michigan next year, and I was wondering if for my second year at the university I would be considered a resident of Michigan since by the time I reach this second year, I will have been living in Michigan for a year already. Thanks.

6 AnswersYahoo Answers1 decade agoWhat is your favorite book and why?
I've just finished reading Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen, and I'm looking for another great book to read (not necessarily by Jane Austen).
I took out Dune, by Frank Herbert, from my local library, but I plan on trying to read Great Expectations, Love in the Time of Cholera, and War and Peace at some point this year. If you guys and girls have any other recommendations for an avid reader, I would greatly appreciate them.
As always, happy reading!

Who else hates or dislikes Twilight, and is disgusted by how well it sells. I could go on, but I'll leave the ranting to you. Also, please no comments by petty, 14 year-old fangirls, there are enough obsessive Twilight questions on this forum already.
10 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoHow about them Brownies. Any predictions on the the Cleveland Browns record for the 08-09 season?
I say 11-5, despite the difficult schedule. The o-line (one of the best in the league last year, allowing under 20 sacks all season) has had another year to mesh and with the new addition of shaun rogers to the d-line, the running game hopefully shouldn't be as effective against us as it was last year. any other opinions?
