    How Many Excess Electrons Does a Charged Sphere Have?

    I tried finding the force due to the electric field: 170/.005 x 6 x 1.6X10^-19 (I did 6 because there were 6 excess electrons so that means there are 7 in total) =3.264X10-14 Then I tried subtracting the weight of 6 electrons from it. Weight = 9.1x10^-31 x 6 x 9.81 Resultant force =...

    Diffrential equation subject qs

    Hello, I managed to solve the differential equation : dx/dt= 0.1 (x-250) with the information when t=0 x=1000 and dx/dt= 75, I also found "C" and got ln lx-250l = 0.1t + ln750 However, I am having trouble obtaining the expression for x in terms of t I got x= e^0.1t +1000 which...

    Why Is the Lag Time 60 Degrees Instead of 72 Degrees in Wave Phase Calculations?

    I tried posting the picture up but it was unsuccessful. I've pretty much described it in the question though. I don't understand,how is 60 1/5 of 360? isn't it 1/6th ? Why is it saying 1/5th ? =S

    Why Is the Lag Time 60 Degrees Instead of 72 Degrees in Wave Phase Calculations?

    Hi, I came across this question on waves which tells you how to calculate the phase difference and the lag time but I don' uderstand why it is 60 degrees.Although I'm notable to draw th diagram,I will write down the explination What is the phase relationship b/w the two signals?(y1 and y2)...

    Understanding Young's Modulus: Constant vs. Variable Spring Constant | Q&A Help

    Hi, I'd like to know why a young modulus for a material is constant whereas the spring constant isn't.Is it because the spring constant depends on the extension which depends on the length and area of the wire?Just wanted to make sure :) Also,I have these two questions I'm not getting the...
