What is Grade 12 physics: Definition and 62 Discussions
Twelfth grade, senior year, or grade 12 is the final year of secondary school in most of North America. In other regions, it may also be referred to as class 12 or Year 13. In most countries, students are usually the ages of 17 and 18 years old. Some countries have a thirteenth grade, while other countries do not have a 12th grade/year at all. Twelfth grade is typically the last year of high school (graduation year).

Homework Statement
A pulley device is used to hurl projectiles from a ramp (uk=0.26) as illustrated in the diagram. The 5.0-kg mass is accelerated from rest at the bottom of the 4.0 m long ramp by a falling 20.0-kg mass suspended over a frictionless pulley. Just as the 5.0-kg mass reaches the...

Alright, just started physics and I've already fallen behind :(
trying to do my homeowkr and I am completely lost, no idea at all.
So here's a question which i had no idea how to do.
* A tree house has a vertical "fire pole" of smooth metal, designed for quick...
okay so here's the question...can anyone figure it out... the question is... Sound with a frequency of 442 Hz. travels through steel. A wavelength of 11.66 m is measured. Find the speed of the sound in steel. Please help...i really need some direction
A block weighing 80N rests on a plane inclined at 20 degrees to the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction is 0.25, while the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15.
a) What is the minimum force F, parallel to the plane that will prevent the block from slipping down the plane?
b)...
Body B weighs 440 N and body A weighs 140N. The coefficients of friction between B and the incline are Us = 0.56 and Uk = 0.25.
a) Find the acceleration of the system if B is initially at rest
b) Find the acceleration of the system if B is moving up the incline
c) Find the acceleration of...
5. A particle with a charge of -4.00 × 10-6 C moves through a uniform electric field of 70.0 N/C directed downwards. It is moving horizontally at 12.0 cm/s exactly between two plates that are 10.0 cm apart. The particle has a mass of 0.0400 g.
a. What is the net force on the particle?

I am in grade 12 physics, and i have to practice equation proofs. I am currently studying work, kinetic energy, springs, and potential energy (gravity and elastic).
Does anyone have a good proof?
Bonus Question...
So my teacher gave us this question... where he describes that. "We have a heavy box, we want to move it but can NOT apply horizantal force (meaning CANT get on your knees and push it) we would have to either push down on it at an angle to move it, or pull up and push (or pull...
HELP! I am in grade 12 physics and my teacher gave us a puzzler for the weekend. I need serious help with it and all of my classmates can't figure it out either! The question is :
A 10.8 kg box is 5.0 m from the edge of a 12.96 m high cliff. Bob pushes the box over the edge of the cliff by...
