The force will be mass times the acceleration you have mentioned and that will be equal to zero from where we shall get the answer. Same explanation was provided by my professor but my point why are we including x˙2/x\ddot x when no visible forces are acting on the body to provide the...

Thank you BruceW, for your assistance. Yes, that 'm' should not have been there- put that by mistake.

Homework Statement [/B] A circular table of radius rotates about its center with an angular velocity 'w'. The surface of the table is smooth. A groove is dug along the surface of the table at a distance 'd' from the centre of the table till the circumference. A particle is kept at the starting...

Yes, the inner and outer radii are R1 and R2 respectively. And they are uniformly charged.

I agree with your statements but I am afraid that does not answer my queries. The question clearly asks for potential difference between the spheres with infinity as the reference point. And I believe I have not mixed potential and potential energy in any of my steps/ statements. Forget my...

Sorry I didn't mention it earlier- the shells were uniformly charged. The extra term had a sign equal to the sign of the shell's charge. The exact expression was: V1 (Potential of the smaller sphere) = KQ2/ R2 (Potential due to the bigger sphere) + KQ1/R1 (The 'extra' term I was talking about.)...

Homework Statement I recently encountered a problem wherein I was asked to calculate the potential difference between two non conducting concentric spherical shells of radii R1 and R2. Homework Equations ΔV=-∫E.dr The Attempt at a Solution While I was able to calculate the potentials of...

Do you want me to explain you the concept behind alternating circuits?

Find out more about elimination reactions yourself and then try to apply the logic to other reactions. You can start from the following links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elimination_reaction https://www2.chemistry.msu.edu/faculty/reusch/virttxtjml/react1.htm#rx4...

You are talking about an AC circuit where the voltage is given by the equation V= V0sinωt. (ω= Angular frequency). Represent the current in similar terms and derive respective equations for a purely resistive, purely inductive and purely capacitive circuits. Then compare the phase difference...

Yes Chromium oxide reaction is valid for all alkanes. In fact, many metal (III) oxides are capable of producing such reactions on specific compounds. Examples are Aluminum and Iron (III) oxide. If it isn't compulsory to use a one step process, you can use elimination reaction to obtain...

Imagine the electric dipole consist of charges +Q and -Q. Since their magnitudes are equal, all the electric field lines originating from +Q terminates at -Q. So apparently, finding flux due to a charge Q at the distance 'd' from the circular wire would suffice.

I was talking about a real life situation. Net heat flow gets used up in changing internal energy and other losses like inelastic collision with the wall. Real gas molecules don't collide elastically with the wall since kinetic theory doesn't apply here.

You are right. Actually, I wanted to write something like this: du≠dqv holds in the case of non ideal gas because of intermolecular attractions which causes inelastic collisions between the molecules and the walls of the container. But then I thought I'll let the OP figure out why...

Maybe I am misinterpreting the question. I think of reading more on ferromagnetism and then getting back to this question. Thank you for your replies. :)
