    Electric field / charged plates question.

    I did, it is 2.01 *10^2. Sorry, when I pasted, all the carrot signs disappeared. Is there anything wrong with any of the steps? Thanks.

    Electric field / charged plates question.

    I have this as an online assignment and think I have the wrong answer, but the site is telling me the result is wrong and takes a percentage off my grade each time i send a wrong submission. I am just posting an image link because that way you guys can see the picture...

    Damn units and surface charge density.

    I keep getting it wrong! Can anyone verify the above is correct? Much appreciated.

    Damn units and surface charge density.

    Ok, the question asks: An electron close to a large, flat sheet of charge is repelled from the sheet with a 2.1×10^−12 {N} force. Q. find the surface charge density on the sheet in C/m^2 What i did was use the formula F = qe with 2.1e-12 for the force and 6.1e-19 for the charge of an...

    Heat flow problem- what did I do wrong?

    It requires W. I put in 5.6 and got "try again." I don't know what to do. Shouldn't I add both q's?

    Heat flow problem- what did I do wrong?

    How would you do that? I am not good with heat flux. Please help me get started.

    Heat flow problem- what did I do wrong?

    A long rod, insulated to prevent heat loss along its sides, is in perfect thermal contact with boiling water (at atmospheric pressure) at one end and with an ice-water mixture at the other View Figure . The rod consists of 1.00-m section of copper (one end in steam) joined end-to-end to a length...

    Physics I- impossible question on oscillation (help needed).

    How did you get that velocity? isn't velocity supposed to be: v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax ? = v = sqrt(Rg_0) ? thanks and sorry about no latex.

    Physics I- impossible question on oscillation (help needed).

    Ok, thanks. My work is very similar to yours--is that enough to answer the question? The reason I ask is because this is an end of chapter question, which is supposed to be one of the harder ones.

    Physics I- impossible question on oscillation (help needed).

    The question is "The magnitude of the gravitational acceleration inside Earth is given approximately by g(r) = g_0(r/R_E), where g_0 is the surface value, r is the distance from Earth's center, and R_E is Earth's radius; the acceleration is directed toward Earth's center. Suppose a narrow...

    How does my book go from this step to the next (trig)

    OK, in an example, we are given: "T(θ)= 2 cos^2 (θ) +sin^2 (θ) − sin (θ) + 3 =cos^2 (θ) − sin θ + 4. Then Tθ(θ)= −2 cos θ sin θ − cos θ = −cos θ(2 sinθ + 1)" can anyone explain what happened from step 1 to 2--i am completely lost? Thanks.
