Electrode Voltage Difference Homework Statement A vacuum photodiode is constructed by sealing two electrodes in a vacuum tube. The electrodes are separated by L and connected to a battery and a resistor (R). The potential difference between the cathode and anode is approximately equal to...

Thank you for taking the time to answer... I can actually follow along with the math pretty well. And I intuitively understand how the spaceship would pick up speed... What I can't reconcile is that the total mechanical energy of the spaceship would be conserved. If it picks up twice the...

Homework Statement Which of the following is a true statement concerning a comet passing near the sun? (Mass of comet and mass loss are negligible) 1. The momentum of the comet is nearly conserved because the interaction with the sun is similar to an elastic collision. 2. The momentum of...

Oh my goodness, THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have no idea how much this was hurting my brain! =P

Homework Statement Mass A, 15 kg, is on a table, connected by a massless rope and frictionless pulley, to mass B, 8 kg, which is hanging off the side of the table. The kinetic friction coefficient is 0.14. Find the acceleration of the blocks. The Attempt at a Solution...
