    High School Integrating sine from 0 to pi: What does the graph show?

    This too: http://www.khanacademy.org/video/introduction-to-definite-integrals?topic=calculus You'll be able to see what it means and its physics application.

    High School Need help in understanding phase angle/difference in A level physics.

    The phase of a transverse wave is how far it has been translated or shifted. Think back to algebra when we translated graphs of lines by adding and subtracting numbers. In this case, a phase of 60 degrees results in a shift of ∏/3 radians or 1/6 of a wavelength, being that one wavelength = 2∏...

    High School Which would have greater pressure at the end, an L shape or Y shaped

    Hello, Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm taking the 2nd calculus based physics course fliuds, thermo, etc.) The pressure of a fluid in a container at rest can be defined as: p = p0 * ρgh where p is the absolute pressure, the pressure your looking for at a certain depth. p0 is the...
