    Finding aplitude of free undamped motion

    I have a problem I'm trying to solve: A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet. Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 2ft/s. How many complete cycles will the mass...

    Integrate Expression: Help & Tips

    I'm trying to integrate the following expression: \int\frac{E_0*sin(\omega*t)}{L}*e^{\frac{R}{L}t}dt Any hints on what method to use? I'd like to figure out how to do this integral by hand so please don't just give me the answer. I've already used my calculator to get that. Thanks for the help.

    Potential Difference V_ad: Solving with Switch S Closed

    Homework Statement The capacitors in the Figure are initially uncharged and are connected, as in the diagram, with switch S open. The applied potential difference is V_ab = + 210V What is the potential difference V_ad after switch S is closed? Homework Equations Q=C_eq*V V_ab=Q/C...

    What is the Potential of a Charged Disk?

    Chrisk, I've attached my attempt at this problem. Hope you don't mind the .pdfs it's easier for me to type the equations in word rather than on the physics forums. Thanks for your any help you can give.

    What is the Potential of a Charged Disk?

    I've attached a .pdf with the problem explanation, questions, and answers. I can't figure out for the life of me how to get these answers though. I've setup a countless number of integrals and can't seem to get it right. Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. *EDIT* Not...

    Work required to move a charged ball

    I'm still slightly confused. So I can find E at the center of the ring using E=kQq/r. But, since W=-(U_f-U_i) how do I get U from E? Since E=kq/r^2 and U=kq_1*q_2/r would you just multiply the E you get by qr and if so what q would you use: the charge on the ring or the charge on the ball...

    Work required to move a charged ball

    Homework Statement A ring of diameter 7.10 cm is fixed in place and carries a charge of 5.00 μC uniformly spread over its circumference. How much work does it take to move a tiny 3.40 μC charged ball of mass 1.70 g from very far away to the center of the ring? Homework Equations I tried...

    Electric Flux through a Spherical Surface at the Origin

    By use Gauss's law do you mean \Phi=\frac{q}{\epsilon_0}? If so don't I need to know that permittivity of free space (\epsilon_0), which isn't given in the problem?

    Electric Flux through a Spherical Surface at the Origin

    Homework Statement A point charge q_1 = 3.45 nC is located on the x-axis at x = 1.90 m, and a second point charge q_2 = -6.95 nC is on the y-axis at y = 1.20 m. What is the total electric flux due to these two point charges through a spherical surface centered at the origin and with radius...

    Rotational Motion and Friction

    In my physics class one of the problems we have been given to solve is: "A small button placed on a horizontal rotating platform with diameter 0.330m will revolve with the platform when it is brought up to a rotational speed of 44.0 rev/min, provided the button is a distance no more than...
