I have in my notes that as speed of a fluid increases, density decreases.
This doesn't make sense to me. When a fluid passes through a narrower area, doesn't that mean that its density is increasing because it is now packed more tightly together? If this is the case, shouldn't the rule be that...

Some of the torques are opposing each other. However, it doesn't fit with the location of the negative signs.

I have written in my notes the following:
"Total internal reflection will have reflecting ray only, same as incident (60 degrees)."
I understand everything but the 60 degrees part. If there is total internal reflection, will the angle of reflection and the angle of incident both always be...

Two speakers emit a sound with a frequency of 550.0Hz. At what distance should they be placed to maximize destructive interference?
I have the steps in solving this problem written on my worksheet, and it says that the speakers should be placed at 1/2 wavelength. The thing I...

It's not a specific problem, but I'm wondering what "parallel force" is defined as.
The equation we were given is work = parallel force x distance.
I was thinking that parallel force is probably the sum of the forces acting in the direction of motion, but some problems we've done in class...
