Algebra - Ch. 26: Solving Problems with Quadratic Equations (11 of 11) What is Your Reaction Time?

[@raeleigh8750]

so much easier than my physics textbook described. Thank you very much sir!

[@MichelvanBiezen]

You're Welcome!

[@honeyfleur27]

Thank you so much for this! It really helped a lot on my assignment ❤️

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Glad it helped!

[@andrewbig9806]

Thanks a lot for this. My swedish textbook did not describe this solution for my assignment neither did the assignment, so had to search for a solution for this myself. Thank you! Question: How does someone even make up a formula specific for this? What kind of other things could you measure with this formula? Or is this formula specific to this problem?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

That equation came from the kinematics equations that you learn in physics. That equation will usually not specifically be shown in an algebra book.

What if it is in inches?

[@bohredphysicists1850]

Great video

[@ostanin_vadym]

Thank you for content

[@theodoreantoniou4811]

how does 0.29 equals 0.3 seconds

[@MichelvanBiezen]

That symbol with the squigly line over the equal sign mean "is approximately equal to"

[@ameerunbegum7525]

2:08 Yeah, We are done !

[@MichelvanBiezen]

With this chapter yes, we have many more chapters to go.

I hope you're taking care of yourself, your voice sounds hoarse! Please be well! Love your videos.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Sometimes after many hours of filming the voice does get tired.

From what height does thrown object travel two thirds of its distance in the last one second.I hope you will answer my question.🙏🙏🙏

[@MichelvanBiezen]

Which way is the object thrown? Horizontally? Or just dropped? Or at an angle? I am going to assume horizontally (or just dropped) so that the object does not have an initial velocity in the y-direction unless you tell me otherwise.

[@tsoojbaterdene7793]

@@MichelvanBiezen It is just dropped.

[@MichelvanBiezen]

The answer is 22.05 m. It is difficult to explain how to work that out, but the graphical method works very well here. (see the examples in that playlist). We plan on doing a "viewer request" video on this soon.

[@TitomnJeswen]

Why don't you just mesure the time with a watch from the drop to the catch?

[@MichelvanBiezen]

That requires reaction time as well, which would skew the result.

[@xOxAdnanxOx]

Michel van Biezen so where did this equation come from? Is that the gravity constant g? Thank you

[@jimmykornelijegunnarsson4265]

@@xOxAdnanxOx He does, g = 980 cm/s^2 if you consider that g = 9·.8 m/s^2

Good morning!
