Wanna win 50k credits fast? :)
I need some physics help...
I have this question that has been pissing me off all day in which I know the friggen answer but I cannot show my work to get it... Please show me the work and I'll send ya 50k credits The Question: A man shoots a slingshot at a thief who is 50 meters away. He hears the thief scream 1.5s later. The Speed of sound is 330m/s. What was the initial velocity of the shot object. The only thing I could figure out to do is 50m/330m/s to get me the actual time to took the projectile to reach the thief. Thanks! (Yes, I know this a simple question... I suck at physics...)

Re: Wanna win 50k credits fast? :)
50m / (1.5 sec - 50/330 sec) ~ 37.08 m/s
50/330 sec is the time the scream takes to travel from the thief to you. 1.5 sec - 50/330 sec is the time the bullet takes to travel from you to the thief. Last edited by leonid; 03-17-2011 at 09:41 PM.. |

Blah, I kinda thought I had to subtract the 1.5 from the other time. Durp.
Thanks a ton Creds on the way.

No, Velocity is LOL (currently, but I think he's able to change his credit count?)
Smitty has 3 million I think Reincarnate had the max when he donated to ichlie's tournament (5 million), 8388607 but that was BS. XD |
