    Force on electron from current-carrying wire

    Homework Statement http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/5369/physxn6.png Homework Equations F = IL x B F = QV x B The Attempt at a Solution Since I know I, L, Q, and V, I tried to work those into the two force equations... but I got no where. They don't give me B.

    Calculating Torque and Work: Flywheel Mass, Radius, and Time Interval

    Work is the change in kinetic energy. KEf - KEi, but since its at rest in the beginning, its KEf - 0, which is just w=KEf. Remember to consider rotational kinetic energy, because it is rotating. Good luck to you both!

    Calculating Torque and Work: Flywheel Mass, Radius, and Time Interval

    they give you 118 rpm. You have to convert that to angular velocity using factor label. You have time and final angular velocity, so you can find angular acc. using Vf = Vi + at where Vf=final angular vel, Vi = initial angular vel (which is 0 in this case), a=angular acc, and t=time. then...

    How Do You Calculate Final Velocity with Given Force and Time?

    well then i guess your initial approach is correct. the equation I gave might not work because i didnt read the part that said "avg velocity". I think your -61 is correct

    How Do You Calculate Final Velocity with Given Force and Time?

    I don't know why they gave you impulse, you can solve the problem with this equation: Vf = Vi + at where Vf=final velocity, Vi=initial velocity, a=acc. and t=time. Remember - the acc. is .8/.462 because F=ma, so a=F/m. Good luck!

    Frictionless Surface Homework: Newton's 3rd Law and Momentum

    Newton's 3rd law tells us that when you punch the wall, the wall punches back equally. In other words, with equal force. In other words, you don't punch the block with any more force than the wall punches you with. In other words, your punch's force and the wall's punching force are equal. So...

    Two objects - when do they meet?

    Homework Statement An object is thrown downward with an initial speed of 4 m/s from a height of 99 m above the ground. At the same instant, a second object is propelled vertically from ground level with a speed of 25 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. At what height above...

    Position when 2 objects pass each other

    What I did didn't work. I kind just mushed stuff together. I might as well have said "I didnt know where to start" because I didnt.

    Packaged dropped from Hot Air Balloon

    well a is -9.8 because of gravity. Vi is 2.6, but its the opposite direction of falling. So what do I do with it? d is 19 m. I don't know how to use that equation because the Velocity is upward, but the object is falling DOWN.

    Please help - Rotational Kinetic Energy of Moving Wheel

    First of all, you don't need to make a theoretical velocity because they cancel out in the end. Now... (2)(1/2 I w^2) + (1/2 m v^2) (2)(1/2) is 1. You know that w=v/r, so plug in v/r for w, and you get I(v/r)^2 + (1/2 m v^2) You know I, r, and m, so you get ((.08)V^2)/.3 + (1/2)(74)V^2...

    Please help - Rotational Kinetic Energy of Moving Wheel

    Total KE in this case is 2KEr + KEt, where KEr is rotational kinetic energy and KEt is translational/linear kinetic energy. Because the bike itself as a whole is moving linearly, it has KEt. And since there are two wheels, there is KEr - but 2KEr because of the two wheels. So the total...

    Packaged dropped from Hot Air Balloon

    Homework Statement A Hot air balloon is traveling vertically up- ward at a constant speed of 2.6 m/s. When it is 19 m above the ground, a package is released from the balloon. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. After it is released, for how long is the package in the air? Answer...
