    What Is the Electric Field Inside a Metal Ball in a Uniform Field?

    A uniform electric field of 1.0 N/C is set up by a uniform distribution of charge in the xy-plane. What is the electric field inside a metal ball placed 0.50 m above the xy-plane? E= Fe/q E=(kq1q2)/r^2 0= ((9x10^9)(1)(q2))/.5^2 q2= 0 does this sound right?

    What is the final speed of the block before it hits the ground in each case?

    I honestly don't know where to start, I thought if the mass on top was heavier than the mass hanging wouldn't move.

    What is the final speed of the block before it hits the ground in each case?

    In the figure, m1 = 3.0 kg. Use work and energy to find the speed of the m2 = 1.7 kg block just before it hits the floor in each of the following cases. http://www.webassign.net/knight/p11-48alt.gif (a) The table is frictionless. . m/s (b) The coefficient of...

    Work Done by T1 and T2 in Lowering a Piano

    cos(135) = -sqrt(2)/2 and cos(150) = -sqrt(3)/2 Where do I plug them into? what would be the equation to find T1?

    I have no idea, what that means t1s angle 150? t2s 135?

    Work Done by T1 and T2 in Lowering a Piano

    to get t1 I used w= (1100*sin45)*5.5 to get t2 I used w= (1820*sin60)*5.5 *If I don't keep the sigfigs the webquestions get counted wrong

    Work Done by T1 and T2 in Lowering a Piano

    Those are the ones i need to figure out, i figured out the force in the y direction with trig functions then used w=fd I got t1 = 4316.886899 t2 = 8668.914292 but they were wrong

    Find Fmax for a 450g Particle Moving Along the x-Axis | Ex11.15

    A 450 g particle moving along the x-axis experiences the force shown in Figure Ex11.15. The particle goes from vx = 4.0 m/s at x = 0 m to vx = 7.5 m/s at x = 2 m. What is Fmax? Where the maximum peak on the force by distance graph is at 1m F=ma v=d/t a=v/t I have no idea how to...

    Work Done by T1 and T2 in Lowering a Piano

    The two ropes seen in Figure Ex11.9 are used to lower a 235 kg piano 5.5 m from a second-story window to the ground. How much work is done by each of the three forces? (T1 = 1820 N andT2 = 1110 N) t1 is 45degrees north of east t2 is 60degrees north of west w = J T1 = J...

    How Do Two Boxes with Different Friction Slide Down the Same Ramp Together?

    the .2 one is in the front, I still don't know what the equation would be

    How Do Two Boxes with Different Friction Slide Down the Same Ramp Together?

    yes they are touching each other, I used the combined mass because its a system
