Undergrad Confusion about electric potential
So should I take this for granted till I study calculus? Is not there any other way to understand it without calculus?- Inspiron

Undergrad Confusion about electric potential
If I would displace a negative one-coulomb charge r meters from a positive charge, Q, the negative charge would gain electric potential energy that would be calculated by summing up all the values of the electric potentials along the line of its displacement, r. (I don't know calculus, but I...- Inspiron

Undergrad Confusion about nature of collision
I don't clearly understand. So if two undeformable objects collides with another, will both of them always have equal velocities, as I said? And is there such thing as an undefromable object in the real world? If two deformable objects collide, do they deform like springs, where kinetic energy... -
Undergrad Confusion about nature of collision
I have a problem with understanding the nature of collisions and their outcomes. From my understanding, I come to think that when a mass collides with another, both of them should always have equal velocities post-collision. For example, when a mass moving at v1, m1, collides with a mass at... -
Undergrad Problems with understanding the force of tension
Zero, I think. But, then, what would be the acceleration of the rope? What does make the force at one end smaller than the other end when the rope has mass? -
Undergrad Problems with understanding the force of tension
If I had a object with a rope tied to it, and I began to pull the object on a surface of zero friction with a force of 4 N, both the object and the rope would start to move at the same acceleration. But I deduced that by intuition, not physics. When regarding all the forces acting on both the...
