    Solve Work Energy Power Homework with Friction Present

    Homework Statement Hi Guys I have a problem when working with conservation of energy and work energy theorem. I have a problem when friction is present in the system. I don't know when to add the friction to get the total work done or when to minus the friction to find work done. Will...

    Which Electrode is the Cathode in Wade and Tang's Galvanic Cell?

    thanks a lot man! I am still a bit confused by i will make my way to understand it :) will it be safe to say if an electrode is connected to the positive terminal of the voltmeter it will be the cathode?

    Which Electrode is the Cathode in Wade and Tang's Galvanic Cell?

    Homework Statement Two learners, Wade and Tang are working together on a project. They were asked by their teacher to assemble a galvanic cell that would produce a large enough voltage to light up a 1.5V bulb. They are allowed to use two electrodes, one of which must be a zinc electrode...

    Trig General Solution: Solve for x using sin2x = 0.5

    Homework Statement Solve for x using general solution sin2x = 0.5 Homework Equations sin2x= 2sinxcosx The Attempt at a Solution arcsin0.5 = 2x 2x = 30 degrees + k360 x = 15 degrees + k180. Or 2x = (180-30) + k360 2x = 150 + k360 x = 75 + k180

    Understanding the Work-Energy Theorem

    Ok...basically this is what i have done so far. Fgravity=mg(sinx) =50 x 9.8 x sin25 = 207.08N Ffriction=60N Therefore force parallel =207.08-60 =147.08 But they also tell us to work out work done we must use F(cosx)\Deltax so i want to know...when and why are we using sinx...
