    Finding the equivalent resistance b/w a and b

    Homework Statement The problem is to find the equivalent resistance between a to b. Homework Equations Req in series = R1 + R2 + ... Rn Req in parallel = inverse of sum of 1/R1 + 1/R2 + ... 1/Rn Kirchhoff's Rules The Attempt at a Solution Well, I tried redrawing the circuit to figure...

    How is Rotational Kinetic Energy Calculated for a Merry-Go-Round?

    Homework Statement A horizontal 813 N merry-go-round of radius 1.28 m is started from rest by a constant horizontal force of 66 N applied tangentially to the merry-go-round. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Assume it is a solid cylinder. Find the kinetic energy of the merry-go-round...

    Solve Mech. Energy Problem: Homework Statement & Equations

    BTW, the child touches the circular arc at the top of the circle which covers about a quarter of the circumference...well, picture the child sliding straight down then suddenly touches the top of the circle, which slides down in an arc. Sorry, i don't have the pic.

    Constervation of Mechanical Energy Problem

    well, this is what i got...please comment if everything looks right.. w=kf-ki+uf-ui , uf=0 where ki = 1/2mv^2, ui = mg(2 times the radius for height), work=(2pi)(radius)(Force) so kf=ki+ui+work...

    Constervation of Mechanical Energy Problem

    Hi. I really need some help with this problem. I'm a little lost and my head seems ready to explode. Any hints will be appreciated. Homework Statement A softball pitcher rotates a .265 kg ball around a vertical circular path of radius .568 m before releasing it. The pitcher exerts 24.7 N...
