    Studying Create the Perfect Self-Study Routine

    Thanks for the input. I have one more question. I am considering learning the entire course in the off season( say like summer). But what I am afraid of is, what if i teach myself the concepts incorrectly?(If that's possible...) And the way i learned the concept is not the way my instructor...

    Studying Create the Perfect Self-Study Routine

    I've noticed that my routine for studying mathematics, physics, chemistry etc. isn't doing me any good. It seems that no matter how much effort i put into studying the material, I am always one step behind and my test scores come back horrible. My current routine will be to read through the...

    Work Done by Crane: Calculating Force & Acceleration

    To cancel out gravity add 9.8 to 1.8 bc it needs to move upward. 425 kg(11.6ms2)(85 m)

    Work Done by Crane: Calculating Force & Acceleration

    Homework Statement Had a question on a test went something like this; A crane lifts a 425 kg bar 85m above the ground. The crane is lifting it upwards with an acceleration of 1.8 m/s^2. How much work is done by the crane? Homework Equations W=Fd The Attempt at a Solution Solution 1( the one i...

    Calculating Work Done by a Spring

    Homework Statement An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass hangs from it at rest, the spring is extended 0.06 meters from its relaxed state. An upward external force is then applied to the block to move it upward a distance of 0.16 meters. While the block is...

    Instantaneous Power calculation

    which i now realize i was thinking of W/Δt.. oops

    Instantaneous Power calculation

    So i just need to derive the equation and plug in 3.1s? I divided by 3.1 because instantaneous power is derivative of work w/ respect to time.

    Instantaneous Power calculation

    Homework Statement The energy of a system increases at a rate of 3.5t + 6.2t^2, in joules. What is the instantaneous power at t=3.1 s? Homework Equations P=dW/dt J/s=watt The Attempt at a Solution dW=3.5 + 12.4t P=(3.5 + 12.4t joule) / (3.1s)=1.12 + 4t, in watts Yes/ no?

    Calculating Power Requirements for an Escalator

    Homework Statement Homework Equations W=Fx*d P=W/Δt The Attempt at a Solution Shot in the dark but, 20 people with 60 kg mass=1200kg total mass. Weight=1200kg*9.8m/s^2=11760N. Force component along the incline is 11760N*sin(30)=5880N. Work=5880N* 10m=58800J.(The 10m was found from trig...
