    How does friction affect the acceleration of a moving box?

    Homework Statement The following problem appeared in our test: A box of mass m is moving with a constant velocity v along a smooth frictionless surface.When the box passes the boundary the frictional force acts on the box.The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is μk...

    How have chemical processes influenced the development of display devices?

    I have been asked to right an essay on how chemical engineering and chemical processes have played a role in the evolution of display devices and upto the new 4K TV.I searched for some ideas but could not find any specific materials.Can anyone provide some ideas?

    Should I Take Notes in University?

    I have never took notes in my life.I just listen to the lecture and read the material from the book but I have never jotted down anything during the lecture.Considering that I recently started university, is note taking really important or can I just study without it?

    Undergrad Electric Flux Through Hollow Surface: Does εr Matter?

    Hi. I want to ask a question that does the electric flux passing through a hollow surface depends on the nature of the surface?That is does it depend on the relative permittivity of the surface εr?? Please clear my confusion thanks .

    Find Zero Field Location of Two Charges of q1=4μC and q2=-1μC

    So it is 6m to the left from q1 which means it is not on the line between the two charges which is only 3m.

    Undergrad Understanding Electron Movement in a Uniform Electric Field

    If an electron is placed in a uniform electric field it moves from a lower potential to a higher potential.So does it's potential energy decrease.In other words,is PE_{f}-PE_{i}<0? This is confusing me.

    Undergrad Clear my concept of weightlessness

    Need to ask a question. Weightlessness occurs when the net force acting on a body is zero.For example,consider a person in orbit.The centripetal force provided by gravity of the Earth is balanced by the outward centrifugal force therefore the net force on the person becomes zero and he becomes...
