Thanks, although I'm still somewhat confused. Part of that may be because we have not been taught this yet. Unfortunately, we're still expected to do the homework.
I see your equation, but I don't quite understand how it fits into my problems.
I looked up formulas for acceleration and found...
Hey everyone. I have 2 relatively basic questions about horizontal springs. I feel like the questions are actually very simple (it's just high school physics) but I think I'm approaching it the wrong way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
1. I'm supposed to find the spring constant when a...
I believe that I understand it... Unless there's something fundamental that I'm missing, but I'm not sure what that would be. I just wondered how much force is required for one object to orbit another. I understand that there's no set answer to this question, but I was just hoping for some sort...
So I understand the equation f=g*m1m2/d^2 and I understand how to use it, but I'm unsure what my results actually mean. Once I have calculated the force, I don't know what the strength implies. How much force do I need for one object to orbit another? How much is so much that the objects become...
