    Finding acceleration using FORCE equations

    So you don't consider Fg at all ? :S Hmm...what if Fg and Fn are equal...and Fn is 24cos40? I'm really confused :(

    Finding acceleration using FORCE equations

    Homework Statement A 12 kg box is pushed along a horizontal surface by a 24N force at 40 degrees. The frictional force (kinetic) acting on the object is 6 N. What is the acceleration of the object?Homework Equations Ff= uFn Fn= Fg + Ft ??The Attempt at a Solution My Fn = 136 N Ff = 16.3 N ma=...

    Using a Microwave Oven to Measure the Speed of Light

    I've also tried egg white! I need at least two more materials I think.

    Using a Microwave Oven to Measure the Speed of Light

    For this lab, I'm supposed to use materials that heat up but doesn't allow heat to transfer. I've used raw spaghetti noodles already but I still a few more for more trials. So what materials are good for this lab? after heating up the material, I measure the distance between the "hot spots" so...

    What Are Neutrino Oscillations and Why Do They Matter in Particle Physics?

    Bad news...someone in my class has already chose that topic :( any other suggestions? string theory, black hole and photoelectric effect are also taken...

    What Are Neutrino Oscillations and Why Do They Matter in Particle Physics?

    I need to choose a topic from any theories from quantum physics and write an essay about 500-1000 words and present it to the class. Because this assignment is for summer school, my teacher doesn't want it to be too complicated but at the same time interesting enough for a 10 minute...

    Electromagnet investigation lab assignment

    Ok. Thanks! :) and to find the radius, do i use the equation: a= v^2/r ?

    Electromagnet investigation lab assignment

    Oh..I just googled it :S but does it have a charge of 3.2 x 10^-19 Coulombs? so would that just be my Q and plug that into the equation of F= QvB?
