C'mon, I'm coming here for help, not to be told how to study. I learn when things are explained to me which, ironically, most of my professors fail to do. At least give me a step forward in the right direction so I can quickly solve the problem. I don't have time for a thorough comprehensive...

Homework Statement Based on values for the Van der Waals equation tabulated in Table 1.6 in appendix A, determine an approximate molecular volume for CCl4 and CH4. Rationalize these values based on reasonable bond lengths and other parameters. The Lennard-Jones potential energy function is...

Homework Statement Hello. I want to help a friend solve a problem. I'm having trouble finding the right way to solve for distance for this problem. I am given 2 parallel wires connected by another wire or perhaps a conducting fuse. His information is kind of vague, sorry. The current goes up...

Hello. I want to help a friend solve a problem. I'm having trouble finding the right way to solve for distance for this problem. I am given 2 parallel wires connected by another wire or perhaps a conducting fuse. His information is kind of vague, sorry. The current goes up one of the wires...

Sorry. Yes, the length was also given. Though I can't remember the value of it anymore. Speed of the pulse I'm guessing is just x/t. X being the length and t being time, right? I don't think we've done problems involving speed of pulse, unless I'm completely unaware of it. A friend of mine...

An astronaut on the moon wishes to calculate the local g in the area. He sets up a wire with a mass of 1.7 grams and hanging from it an object with mass 4.98 kg. He sends some kind of pulse down the wire and calculates that it takes 40.86 ms to traverse the wire. What is g. You can neglect...
