    Hi everyone, I recently watched the movie "Gravity" and was fascinated by the realistic depiction of space. One scene that particularly caught my attention was when the characters use their thrusters to navigate through space. I'm curious about how accurately the movie portrayed the physics of such maneuvers. I also check this: https://aplusphysics.com/community/index.php?/blogs/entry/29979-another-example-of-physics-in-a-moviealteryx But I have not found any solution. Could someone explain the real physics behind using thrusters in zero gravity? How close is the movie's depiction to what actually happens in space? Any insights or explanations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Hello @AnitaMorton🙂 To calculate the magnitude of acceleration of a cart during the time interval from t = 0 to t = 0.30 Find out Initial and Final Velocities then calculate the change in velocity. then determine the time interval t = 0 to t = 0.30. then calculate the acceleration. then find out the magnitude of acceleration. I hope this will helpful for you

    Physics of a Trampoline

    Happy commented on Cvankerkhove's blog entry in CVs Blog

    We all use trampolines, but now I understand how they work completely!

    Exactly .7 seconds after the ball is released, you don't (yet) know how far it has fallen. You could solve for the displacement of the ball after 0.7 seconds, however. If, instead, the problem had asked "how fast is the ball traveling the instant before it hits the ground," in that case you would use 4.0 meters as the displacement, but you would not know t (elapsed time).

    How come the displacement of the ball won’t be 4m?
