What happens when an uncharged object is brought into an electric field?
? How am I thinking about this wrong? E = V/d, d decreases and E becomes larger.- aspodkfpo

Spring Force vs Height on a Trampoline
How did you get through this algebra? " ##\sqrt{h^2+w^2}-1##, giving a vertical force component of ##kh(1-(1+\frac{h^2}{w^2})^{-\frac 12})## per spring. For small h this approximates a total force of magnitude ##k\frac{h^3}{w^2}##. "- aspodkfpo

Fractional Errors: When to Use Raw vs. Fractional Values?
Still don't see why you were writing p+d/2 / p-d/2 when it is 11/9 for 10+- 1 (where I assume 1 is d). Largest possible value would be p+d/p-d, would it not?- aspodkfpo

Weight of fluids on a submerged person?
So we don't consider the weight of water, but look at is as buoyancy?- aspodkfpo

What is the relationship between torque, linear force, and rolling resistance?
gravity and normal force. was wondering how torque and linear force differs, that's why I provided my explanation.- aspodkfpo

What is the relationship between torque, linear force, and rolling resistance?
What exactly is the difference? With the single linear force there is compression of the circle and with torque it just rotates about the spot?- aspodkfpo

Weird algebra and logic in a mechanics cart quesiton
12b) was fine, I could do it, was not sure about the -k/m x becoming - k/m 0 or how they get the equations for the first few lines. Will look at it again. How would I observe latex code in non-linear form when typing? i.e. \ frac a b isn't in text.- aspodkfpo

Weight of fluids on a submerged person?
Was referring to the weight of the water on top of his body, because he is submerged (i.e. below water level).- aspodkfpo

Doppler effect and hydrogen alpha distributions
nope, I don't see why it wouldn't be the same % for each wavelength, i.e. straight line distribution.- aspodkfpo

Fractional Errors: When to Use Raw vs. Fractional Values?
Wait how is 10+/-1 with 11/9 = (P+d/2)/(P-d/2). Why not P+d/P-d- aspodkfpo
