    Intro Physics Serway Physics Interactive Tools

    I used Serway Physics for Scientists and Engineers 6th edition for my undergrad degree. We used PhysicsNow, an integrated interactive tool with the Serway textbook. I found a copy that has an un-used code for PhysicsNow, but it looks like PhysicsNow no longer exists. Anyone here familiar with...

    Constant 1 g acceleration problem

    But PeroK made an interesting point above. "The second tells you the kinetic energy (KE) of an object of mass m moving with speed v. You can see that KE increases with the square of the velocity. Hence it takes four times as much energy to go from 1 to 2m/s as it does to go from 0 to 1m/s." So...

    Constant 1 g acceleration problem

    Multipart question: 1) How long would it take to travel to the moon from Earth at a constant 1 g acceleration? 2) How does fuel consumption work with constant 1 g acceleration or acceleration in general? I read that "it doesn't take a constant amount of energy to maintain a constant...
