    Studying Why my study routine for STEM subjects isn't working

    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 Why my study routine for STEM subjects isn't working

    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...
