thank you so much ^_^

thank you, but can you explain to me why exactly?

Two identical tuning forks vibrate at 256 Hz. One of them is then loaded with a drop of wax, after which 6 beats/s are heard. The period of the loaded tuning fork is? So, as the uploaded pictures shows, I did solve the problem, but I'm not sure why the f1 frequency is bigger than f2. I mean how...

I'm from Croatia (you know, where King's Landing is :D). What made me pursue physics is a tough one, I guess partially because it's a big challenge for me (I studied literature before), and mostly because I was (well still am) fascinated by the way it makes me perceive the world around me and...

1st year physics student from Europe. I often feel like Alice lost in wonderland of physics, but nothing beats the happiness of finally getting something right. :) I accidentally stumbled upon this forum, but I think it might become my new front page of internet. :)

Yes because it only falls to the Sun, it doesn't go back. :D

ooooh it's r/2 or 1,496*10^11 m divided by 2

It's probably not complete.

so a =r? but then I did it right or?

Is my way the right creative way? :D

Well honestly I'm completely lost, and at this point totally desperate. I'm really not sure what to do. This is how I done it, but I'm not even sure it's the right way to go

Well my biggest problem is I get to a point where I have T= √4Π ⋅ (r/2)3 / G ⋅ Ms and then it seems I should divide T with two, which I don't understand why. Also in this step i don't understand why it's r/2 and not r

Homework Statement So, if the Earth stopped moving(supposing Earth's orbit is a circle) how much time would it have to pass before it hit the Sun? Homework Equations I've tried with Kepler, and Newton's derivations of Kepler's 3th law The Attempt at a Solution Well I'm pretty sure you need to...
