    Explain what this tells you about parametric and symmetric equations in R^3?

    So Symmetric would look like: \frac{x-ax}{bx}= \frac{y-ay}{by}= az (where 'az' is a constant)

    Explain what this tells you about parametric and symmetric equations in R^3?

    Ah alrite i just got that i decided to draw out a graph...yes what you said sums that up...now onto the parametric and symmetric equations

    Explain what this tells you about parametric and symmetric equations in R^3?

    parametric and symmetric equations in R^3?? Homework Statement Recall that there are three coordinates planes in 3-space. A line in R3 is parallel to xy-plane, but not to any of the axes. Explain what this tells you about parametric and symmetric equations in R3. Support your answer using...

    What is the Net Force on B in an Equilateral Triangle of Point Charges?

    when will the attachments be approved? I think it will help me if you maybe see what I did for my solution. Thanks!

    What is the Net Force on B in an Equilateral Triangle of Point Charges?

    But don't you have to add the vectors head to tail? and then using that we can use cosine law to solve or vector components like you said earlier.

    What is the Net Force on B in an Equilateral Triangle of Point Charges?

    okay, so i know that the angle for the original triangle is 60 degrees. And by using coulombs law to find Fbc and Fba we can create another triangle to find the net force. I wish there was a way i could draw it out in here, but i guess I will have to wait for the approval. Basically the net...

    What is the Net Force on B in an Equilateral Triangle of Point Charges?

    did you see my work shown? Is it not opening up? I trying to solve the triangle to find the net force. I think that is where I may be getting the angle wrong. It is not suppose to be 60 degrees.

    What is the Net Force on B in an Equilateral Triangle of Point Charges?

    Homework Statement Three identical point charges A, B, and C are located in the shape of an equilateral triangle with sides of length 15 cm. What is the net force on B if each charge has a magnitude of -5.0 x 10-3 C? Homework Equations coulombs law equation The Attempt at a...

    Gravatational Field Strength problem (Grade 12 physics)

    But how does doubling the radius dividing g by four and same with mass? I can see that it would be 1/2 of g or g under these conditions would be 15.5 (1/2) = 7.75 N/kg

    Gravatational Field Strength problem (Grade 12 physics)

    Homework Statement The gravitational field strength of an unknown planet is 15.5 N/kg on its surface. Calculate the value of “g” if the planets mass and radius were both doubled. Hint: Use variation. Homework Equations g= GM /R2 The Attempt at a Solution Well my teacher gave a...
