    Mastering Kirchhoff's Law: Solving for 5 Currents in a Complex Circuit

    Ok using just the three nodes I cameup with 3 equations: i1 = i2 + i4 30V - 14ohm*i2 - 6ohm*i2 = 0 30 - 1.5*i4 - 6*i4 = 0 I solved them to come up with i4 = 4 A i1 = 5.5 A i2 = 1.5 A But all are wrong, I am sure I am missing something big especially since i3 and i5 are...

    Mastering Kirchhoff's Law: Solving for 5 Currents in a Complex Circuit

    The point is to find currents i1,2,3,4, and 5 in the picture. R1 = 14 Ohms R2 = 6 Ohms This is my work so far. 5 Currents, 5 Loops, 5 Equations, that is the rule (or so I think) The way I am looking at it, there are 6 Loops, so if someone could reduce it to 5 that'd be of some help...

    Calculating Linear and Rotational Kinetic Energy for a Yo-Yo

    Yo-Yo's Inertia A yo-yo has a rotational inertia of 810 g · cm2 and a mass of 190 g. Its axle radius is 3.6 mm, and its string is 70 cm long. The yo-yo rolls from rest down to the end of the string. I've tried 4 or 5 ways to get linear accel, but none work. b, c, d, and e are straight...

    Rotational Speed with the Speed of Light

    An early method of measuring the speed of light makes use of a rotating slotted wheel. A beam of light passes through a slot at the outside edge of the wheel, travels to a distant mirror, and returns to the wheel just in time to pass through the next slot in the wheel. One such slotted wheel has...

    Rotation with a Pulley and Masses

    I got it all, thanks though

    Rotation with a Pulley and Masses

    one block has a mass M = 500 g, the other has mass m = 460 g, and the pulley, which is mounted in horizontal frictionless bearings, has a radius of 5.00 cm. When released from rest, the heavier block falls 85.5 cm in 2.47 s (without the cord slipping on the pulley). First I did conversions...

    Work Done by Gravity on Box on Ice Arc - Radius 8m, Angle 14 Degrees

    That doesn't tell me much, how do I find force in the direction of motion then with a surface that is sloping like that?

    Work Done by Gravity on Box on Ice Arc - Radius 8m, Angle 14 Degrees

    A perfect hemisphere of frictionless ice has radius R = 8 meters. Sitting on the top of the ice, motionless, is a box of mass m = 10 kg. The box starts to slide to the right, down the sloping surface of the ice. After it has moved by an angle 14 degrees from the top, how much work has...

    Block falls on Spring Work and Speed

    Got it all even though no one helps, thanks anyway lol, someone delete this please?

    Block falls on Spring Work and Speed

    I managed to get part 3 and 4, but the Part 2 with 12.375 J is still wrong, It looks perfect to me, did I miss something?

    Block falls on Spring Work and Speed

    A block of mass 240 grams is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant 11 N/cm as shown on the figure. The block becomes attached to the spring and compresses the spring 15 cm before momentarily stopping. First Conversions: 240g = .24kg, 11 N/cm = 1100 N/m, 15cm =...

    Finding the X Component of the Center of Mass of a Cut-Out Square Plate

    So the answer to the X component would be -1.7? or 6.25/28.56 * -1.7?

    Finding the X Component of the Center of Mass of a Cut-Out Square Plate

    I am absolutely sure about Y = 0. Besides that, only things known are D and L

    Finding the X Component of the Center of Mass of a Cut-Out Square Plate

    (Assume it is constant 1kg) (5.9m(1kg) ) / (1kg) = 5.9m <- from the Y axis, for center 5.9/2 = 2.95m This goes for top and bottom sections. (5.9m-2.5m)(1kg) / (1kg) <- 3.4m <- from the Y ais, for center 5.9/2 = 1.7m 1.7m(1kg) + 2.95m(1kg) + 2.95(1kg) / (3kg) = 2.53m Since the origin...
