    How to Calculate the Radius of the Second Sphere in a Conductor Problem?

    Homework Statement A spherical conductor of radius R1 is charged to 28 kV. When it is connected by a long, very thin conducting wire to a second conducting sphere far away, its potential drops to 12 kV. What is the radius of the second sphere as a multiple of R1? Homework Equations...

    How Do You Calculate Maximum Displacement and Speed in a Standing Wave?

    Update: I used this method for all other points of (x) and got the right answers. Maybe webassign is just not accepting the right amount of sig figs or something... I got 0 for x=0.25m and 0.5m for max displacement, so the velo's were 0 m/s... but since cos(54pi*t) =1, how do you solve for t to...

    How Do You Calculate Maximum Displacement and Speed in a Standing Wave?

    y(x, t) = 0.022 sin 4πx cos 54π y(x, t) = 0.022 sin 4πx (1) y(x, t) = 0.022 sin (4π(.1m)) (1) y(x, t) = .021 m Answer came back as incorrect. That π character is pi if you can't tell.

    How Do You Calculate Maximum Displacement and Speed in a Standing Wave?

    Homework Statement The wave function for a standing wave on a string is described by y(x, t) = 0.022 sin 4πx cos 54πt, where y and x are in meters and t is in seconds. Determine the maximum displacement and maximum speed of a point on the string at the following positions. x=0.1m, 0.25m, 0.3m...

    Thermodynamics of Reactions with Glucose

    Ah, okay I was able to the the change in enthalpy for 330.15 K by Hess's law, and adding delta H rxn (298.15K) to the integral of delta Cp dT integrated from To to T. Now I'm stuck on b. part ii. I can't find any examples anywhere on calculating problems like this and my professor is so highly...

    Thermodynamics of Reactions with Glucose

    Homework Statement Homework Equations ΔH rxn = ΔH products - ΔH reactants ΔU = q + w The Attempt at a Solution Pretty overwhelmed with the entire problem. Since the ΔH's of all reactants and products were in the literature for the reference temperature of 298.15 K, I was able to...

    How Is Final Temperature Calculated in an Adiabatic Expansion of Argon?

    Homework Statement One mole of Ar initially at 325K undergoes an adiabatic expansion against a pressure Pexternal=0 from a Volume of 10.5L to 95.0L. Calculate the final Temperature using Ideal Gas and Van der Waals equations of state. Assume Cv,m=(3/2)R. Homework Equations PV=nRT...

    Solving for Original Speed in a Changing Velocity Problem

    Thats basically restating what the problem says. Are there any formulas to relate them to each other, like proportions? This problem seems impossible to answer without knowing like the time it took for the first mile or some other piece of info.

    Solving for Original Speed in a Changing Velocity Problem

    Can someone help me with this problem? Driving along a crowded freeway, you notice that it takes a time t to go from one mile marker to the next. When you increase your speed by 4.5 mi/h, the time to go one mile decreases by 11 s. What was your original speed? I cannot figure out how to...
