Thank you again Mr. Bridge! I have some university activity early tomorrow. I will attempt this problem and post my attempt.

Hello, All! The following problem wasn't assigned to me, it was used for last semesters physics class at my college. However, I feel it is interesting enough and I can't seem to find the correct answer. A ball is launched from the top of a 28-m high vertical cliff at an angle of 31° . Ignoring...

I apologize again for using incorrect notation. It seems then that the first diagram was incorrect, but the second was not. This happened because I sinply attempted to draw the camel travel distance without finding its individual components first and I tried to guess we're it would be. I guess...

Thanks for the detailed level of explanation, Mr. Simon. I first want to apologize for a bad quality scan and messy work. I'll try to rewrite my work here. Reinstating my thoughts I added the vectors that represented the total distance traveled by the camel: ##\vec r_{AD} = \vec r_{AC} + \vec...

Hello, What I attempted to do here is to break each of the vectors into individual components. The sheet I scanned, which isn't visible in the post has all of the work done, but as suggested I'll try my best to type it in.

Hello All, I'm taking a university physics course and while dealing with the introduction to vectors I believe I'm having more trouble at drawing diagrams than with the calculations (trigonometry) and therefore not having a clear diagram is causing some confusion. The problem is as follows...

Hello all, It's been a long time since I posted in this forum. I'm glad to be back to ask for advice from very talented individuals. Pardon me if my thread is not under the correct category. The following set of questions are related to my career, academic life, and satisfaction of...

That was exactly what my teacher told me. Though, he told me there is no point in plugin numbers into a formula knowing they will come out right, if you don't know what is really going on (concept). I tried thinking about this and I came up with the following solution, most likely wrong. But...

I do not know any of those, I will give my book a look and come back to that. I was thinking about it rather than doing it, a teacher I know tells me if I understand the concept I should be able to conquer all questions. Sounds weird but for some reason I see it as a good statement. The...

No, sorry to disappoint you and myself, but I don't have a clue about integrals. I know that the force between to charges is Felectric = (k)(q1)(q2)/(r^2)

I still do not know how exactly would I be able to find that work formula

Homework Statement How much work is done to separate an electron from a proton by a distance of 0.1 m? Homework Equations Work = F * d The Attempt at a Solution I Tried finding the electric force and then plugin it into the Work formula Therefore (-2.31*10^-26N)(0.1m)?

Homework Statement Suppose you have two isolated conducting spheres that are both neutral. You move 2mC of charge from one to the other. a. What is the charge now on each sphere? My solution: One sphere is positively charged with 2mC more protons, while the other is negatively charged with...

I have never touched upon complicated topics of nuclear related subjects in my class(High school), except for the half life of uranium 238 and other nuclear decay subjects to find the age of rocks etc... I was reading some of the topics in this particular category and I saw that the...

I'm a senior in high school, and I'm strongly thinking about obtaining a Computer Science degree. I'm already taking IB Computer Science, have a job doing Android Programming, and see college lectures on the time I have left. I have seen that Computer Scientist should be proficient in math...
