    Resistance: find the equivalent resistance.

    Homework Statement Homework Equations Resistors in series (in a straight line) add. Like R + R = 2R. And if in parallel, they inversely add. 1/R_total = 1/R1 + 1/R2 So, I have no idea how to "simplify" this. Basically trying to find the total resistance. Thanks.

    Questions on electric potentials of systems and electrons.

    1. V(r) = 1 / (4)(pi)(8.85*10^−12 F/m) * (1.55 microC / .1 m) +1? 2a. V(r) = 1 / (4)(pi)(8.85×10−12 F/m) * (+1 / .063 nm) * 1 I guess so. Thanks.

    Questions on electric potentials of systems and electrons.

    Mk. 1. V(r) = (8.85*10^−12 F/m)(1.55 microC / .1 m) 2a. V(r) = (8.85×10−12 F/m)(+1 / .063 nm) * 1 Is q in microC? 2b. qV, so above answer * 1, so same answer. V = J/C, so the q's are measured by the C units, right? Thanks.

    Questions on electric potentials of systems and electrons.

    1.Okay, for the 1st, I have.. Electric potential energy of the system: V(r) = (-8.85*10^−12 F/m)(1.55 microC * 1.55 microC / .1 m) Since there are 3 points in a triangle, I cube the answer to get the electric potential energy of that system? 2.And the 2nd: Electric potential of...

    Questions on electric potentials of systems and electrons.

    Okay thanks for the equation. That should help me with number 1 and 2. Well I am still a bit clueless at number 3. Thanks.

    Questions on electric potentials of systems and electrons.

    Homework Statement 3 equal point charges, each with charge 1.55 microColoumb, are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of length 0.100 m. What is the electric potential energy of the system? (Take as zero the potential energy of the three charges when they are...

    How to Calculate Tension in a Vertical Circle and Accelerating System

    So (1/2)m(50 m/s^2) + m(-9.8 m/s^2)(10 m) = (1/2)m(new velocity^2) + 0 = 25 m/s^2 * m + -98 m^2 * m/s^2 = (1/2)m(new velocity^2) + 0 Okay, so I guess I don't need the unknown m, can I get rid of it? By diving it by both sides? And just use: 1/2 v^2 + gh = 1/2 v^2 + 0? Then...

    How to Calculate Tension in a Vertical Circle and Accelerating System

    Okay, so should the initial KE + PE be before the cannon fired, or at peak? So I don't have the mass, can I take them out on both sides? Initial = final. 1/2(v^2) + gh = 1/2(v^2) + gh. Otherwise I get: 1/2(m)(80 m/s^2) + m(-9.8 m/s^2)10 m = PE + KE again. Okay how do I find...

    How to Calculate Tension in a Vertical Circle and Accelerating System

    Hello. Got a few simple physics problems. Homework Statement Cannon fires a ball at 30 degrees to the horizontal at a speed of 50 m/s. The cannon is 10 m above the ground. What is the ball's speed when it eventually falls to the ground, using energy conservation! That really threw me off...
