    Determine original velocity (kinematics)

    Homework Statement if a ball hit by a racket at an angle of 3 degrees reaches a height of .330m at its trajectory, how fast was the ball moving when it left the racket? Homework Equations d=Vot + 1/2at^2 Vf=Vo+at The Attempt at a Solution Vox = Vocos(3dgres) Voy =...

    Where is the bridge between Calculus and Physics?

    sry to disappoint... but, no bugs bunny. lol what if i said i just started calculus II about a month ago. I can do integrals by sub, parts, but I am not seeing where they are used.

    Navigating Integration for Electric Fields & Flux

    Homework Statement Integration I am soooo lost. I don't even know if this is the right forum... But where is the bridge between Calculus and Physics? I can Integrate equations, but when it comes to physics, i for one, don't know when to integrate; two, i don't see how you find the constants...

    Calculating Charge and Acceleration of Two Charged Spheres

    F=ma=F=k(q1q2/r^2) q1=q2; let Q^2=q1q2 sqrt(mar^2/k)=Q sqrt((8.55g*15.0m/s)((2m)^2)/k)=Q Q=2.39e-4 Q=ne n=2.39e-4/1.6e-19 =1.49e15 electrons

    Calculating Charge and Acceleration of Two Charged Spheres

    Homework Statement Two very small 8.55-g spheres, 20.0cm apart from center to center, are charged by adding equal numbers of electrons to each of them. Disregarding all other forces, how many electrons would you have to add to each sphere so that the two spheres will accelerate at 15.0 g...

    Finding final velocity given 2 charges

    well i worked out part 1 of the problem and got 24.5m/s which is wrong. When finding the potential energy at the point .410, which lies between the 2 charges, do i use .410 for the distance r in the equation; U=(8.85e9)*(-2.6e-6 * -7.6e-6)/r = 1/2mv^2 ?

    Finding final velocity given 2 charges

    so i need to find the electrical potential energy. Then this is equal to the KE= 1/2mv^2; so K(Q1Q2)/r=1/2mv^2 and solve for v at r .410m for the first question then how do i find how close they get to each other. Using the same equations and solving for r where ke=u? if so, how do i...

    Finding final velocity given 2 charges

    Homework Statement A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge of q_1 = -2.70 \mu C, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q_2 = -7.60 \mu C and mass 1.50 g, is projected toward q_{1}. When the two spheres are 0.800 \rm m...
