    Falling objects: Tennis ball vs. feather

    But in this case, wouldn't the mass is the main factor in contributing to the difference in ratio? So wouldn't A be "more" correct than B given those two choice. Here is the full solution in the book: The force of air resistance is dependent on the surface area, the shape, and the velocity of...

    Falling objects: Tennis ball vs. feather

    Assuming air resistance, when a tennis ball and a feather are dropped from the same height? Which statement is true: A: Tennis ball has more mass so it will fall faster. B: Tennis ball has less surface area so it will fall faster I think the answer should be A, but the textbook say B is true...

    Compton scattering and collision within blackbody

    Both were not given, but I assume 180 degree for max scattering?

    Compton scattering and collision within blackbody

    Homework Statement Consider a blackbody contain atoms that typically produce photons with energy of about 7eV. Estimate the number of photon-electron collision each photon undergoes before it escape the object. Assume the blackbody has a temperature of 1000K. Homework Equations λ2 - λ1...

    Which Tool Is Best for Building a Hair Salon Employee Management Program?

    I have very limited programming experience, only done VB in the past and excel and access to some extent. I'm trying to creat a simple program for this problem: An owner a hairdressing salon want to keep track of its employee's daily workload. Basically she want each employee to input basic...

    Floating Cork Ball - Charge Calculation

    omg.lol. never mind. our prof emailed us witha hint on this question -_-" the magnitude of the electric field = 1/2(sigma/epsilon) epsilon = permittivity of free space. well i ended up with 3.22x10^-6 C , which is correct. (but wasted so much time on it)

    Floating Cork Ball - Charge Calculation

    not sure why i keep getting it wrong....maybe caz i misunderstood some concept or something. anhyoo...here is it: A cork ball of mass 5.20 g is placed between two very large horizontal plates. The bottom plate has a uniform charge density of +0.22E-06 C/m2, whereas the upper plate has a...

    What is the rarity of a straight-A student?

    personally i like stewart book, its compact & many examples & fast learning. btw what make u think u can criticize him (i assume ur in calculas II atm)? can u do better? last note: if u hate boring class, do what i do sometime. skip 60% of the lecture, & start reading text 3 night before...

    Charged Metallic Balloon ( understanding a concept)

    the questioon is this: A balloon of radius 34.5 cm is sprayed with a metallic coating so that the surface is conducting. A charge of 1.05 × 10-08 C is placed on the surface. What is the potential on the balloon's surface? how i solved it: -apply the guass law, which gives me the Electrical...

    Total charge of e in a given volume of water

    what can i say... i can be a complete idiot sometime...lol btw...thx for the reply guys.

    Total charge of e in a given volume of water

    OMG! the answer is -1.13E+06 C! damnit...b/c i use the constant at the text which doesn't state a negative sign...so....doh! lol lol lol...

    Total charge of e in a given volume of water

    omg.i tried it ( 1.13 X 10^6 C ). n its still wrong. 2 try left now...lol edit: reply to edit post from above: well.i know the system will tell me if i need more digit or if i used the wrong unit.

    Total charge of e in a given volume of water

    nah.i got 3 try left :( can't waste it. the system basically detect if more/less digit is require.

    Total charge of e in a given volume of water

    err.can u give me ur full answer? then i can check if its right. basically i get from 21.10cm^3 to 21.1 grams -21.1 g / 18 g = mol of h2O -mol of h2o * 6.02x10^23 = molec of h2o -molec of h2o * 10 = total e -total muitliply by 1.6x10^-19 = 1129084.44 (is differ from my last answer...
