    For #15 of the Dynamics part of the AP style problems, why can't we use mgsin instead of Normal force, AND why can't we use mgcos for Normal force - why do we have to derive another one.

    For the kinematics test your understanding question 5: an object is dropped from a given height h at the same time an identical object is launched vertically upward from the ground determine the initial velocity of the object launched upward such that the two objects collide at h/2, how do you solve this?

  4. In the AP Physics I Essentials book, I'm a little bit stuck on question 5 for Chapter 7 Test Your Understanding. The problem states "A marble is rolled separately down two different inclines of the same height as shown below. Compare the speed of the marble at the bottom of incline A to the speed of the marble at the bottom of incline B. Compare the time it takes the marble to reach the bottom of incline A to the time it takes to reach the bottom of incline B." There is also a picture with a ball on top of an incline that is straight, and another picture with a ball on top of an incline that is curved. I can explain why incline B would result in greater speed resulti…

    Air resistance acting on a falling body can be taken into account by the approximate relation for the acceleration a = (dv/dt) = g-kv, where k is a constant. Derive a formula for the velocity of the body as a function of time assuming it starts at rest.(a=0, t=0) How do you integrate g-kv? Do you need a u substitution?

    Hi, I have a question. Electric current in the circuit according to the relation I=1-10cos(50t). Determine the time when the Q=0 C. I used: I =dQ/dt Q(t) = ∫ Idt = ∫(1-10cos(50t))dt = t - (10/50)sin(50t) + C = t - 0.2sin(50t) + C But what now ? I donť known how can i calculate the time... Someone told me that i must find the interval of definite integral... from t=0 to t=?.... Thank you for reply.

    A body is projected downward at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal from the top of a building 170m high. It's initial speed is 40m/s. a) How long will it take before striking the ground? How far from the foot of the building will it strike? c) At what angle with the horizontal will it strike?

  20. hello! I am a high school student (grade 12) and i study physics but i could not solve one of the questions... i searched up on internet but could not find it.. the question is this, "a Basketball with diameter of 24.2 cm is dropped from 76cm from the ground with spin at 5 revolution/sec, the coefficient of friction is 0.5 and the time of the ball in contact wit the ground is 0.1 second. Calculate the angle and velocity it bounced off at and hence find the maximum height and the distance it traveled from the first bounce to second bounce." my teacher said its got to do with impulse, friction, torque,and angular moment... i kind of get the concept of it but i dont really k…

    Hello, I got to this question and was not sure how to go about it. I sorta had an idea but that was for the line charge of a fixed length, so do I just ignore the lengths and assume that E= lamda/(4 pi e0) and then use V=int(E*dl)?

    Hi, For the following question: A 1.37-kg fish is hung from a vertical spring scale with a force constant of 5.20x10² N/m. The spring obeys Hooke’s Law. (a) By how much does the spring stretch if it stretches slowly to a new equilibrium position? ( If the fish is attached to the un-stretched spring scale and allowed to fall, what is the net force on the fish when it has fallen 1.59 cm? © Determine the acceleration of the fish after it has fallen 2.05 cm. http://www.dpcdsb.org/NR/rdonlyres/70ACCCCE-D6A6-44CA-982F-8E319A8ADE82/89746/momentumenergyquestions.pdf (the solution is posted here).

    Hello, So the formula my teacher gave me to solve for constructive and destructive interference of light is d(Xm/L)=(m-1/2)lambda (destructive formula) where m must be a whole number. Is "m" the nodal line number from the central bright? So for this problem, 638nm light is shining through a double slit. The distance from the first node(dark) to the third node is 4cm. Determine the slit seperation if the stance to the screen is 1.2m. So in the example, he solved that sicne D1 to D3 is 4cm, the distance between dark bands is 2cm. However, he used the constructive formula and plaggued in 2cm for the distance from Bo to B1. The constructive formual is d(Xm/L)=m*lamb…

A)Both the electric and the magnetic field vectors are 0 B)The electric field is 0 and the magnetic field has its maximum magnitude C)The electric field has its maximum magnitude and the magnetic field is 0 D)Both the electric and magnetic field vectors have their max magnitudes. My question for this question is, is the textbook talking about phase difference? If so, how can the magnetic field and the electric field have a phase difference since it is originating from the same source? Than…

    Im on question 11 of the Web Assign. I thought the right way to do it would be to take the added mass of the person, multiply it by gravity to get the force, and then use F=-kx to get the spring constant. Then use that with T=2pi sqrt(k/x) to get period and then 1/T = F to get frequency. Am I on the right track but just getting wrong numbers?
