    LaTeX Introducing LaTeX Math Typesetting

    im kinda slow, andim not that advanced, so I am tryin lil things. but i like this thing, ima be the only person in my class with a fully typed physics report. f_{x}=f\cos\theta

    Testing What Topics Are Covered on the SAT Subject Test in Physics?

    hello, has anyone taken the SAT subject test for physics before? i just wanted some insight into what kind of info they covered thank you for any kind of help u can give me take care

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    great thank u both so very very much u guys really helped me out alot 11th grade physics student from new jersey by the way

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    ok yes i think i understand now so i wouldn't worry about Tx, just Ty? i say this because u are dividin by sin which is for vertical right?

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    did u mean Ty = T sinθ + mg ?

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    my angle to the horizontal is 25 degrees, that's one that i made up just to get a sense of how to solve the real problem. now i allready had that degree, so how do i use itto solve tension again? sorry for all this

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    i may hav said it incorrectly, but let me clarify if the radius was 3.0m and the distance from the object to the ceiling(where it is attached) is 2.0m then that forms a right triangle, where the length of out string is the hypotenuse so therefore c^2=a^2+b^2 c^2= 3.0m^2+2.0m^2 = 13m c...

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    but i need to know the tension in the sring, notthe velocity and yes, the anglegiven is fromthe horizon wouldnt i find the tension of Tx and the tension of Ty and use vector addition to find T?

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    ok, when i used my wn numbers, i set the mass to 13kg which would equal awieght of 130N do u not need the velocityof the airplaeto determine thetension on the string since itisgoin around in a circle, i think i left that part out, that it is tied to the cieling by a string and it is...

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    ok, so i don't know tension in the string, but i haveto make it into Tx and Ty, therefore i usethe equation Tcos(degree)= tx and Tsin(degree)= Ty. so to find tension in tx, i would use Fnet=mv^2/r Tx=mv^2/r(cos(degree)) Ty=mv^2/r(sin(degree)) when i get those two i use vector addition...

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    well, ok that kindahelped. i do know howto do these centripital force problems, usin Fnet=mv^2/r. where the tension is Fnet. but u can only do that if it is horizontal to the surface. my problem is thatit has a slope. so i set up an imaginary problem and pluged numbers in for that. butsay that i...

    Tension on a string attached to model airplane

    this is a harder problem then i thought well, do u knowthose model airplanes that are attached to somethinglike a cieling an the go around in a circle? i have to find the tension in the string umm the mass of the airplane is 13kg i dontknow the velocity the radius of the circle it is...

    Where can find physics pages to study?

    ive got a couple umm.. try http://www.physicsclassroom.com thats a good website u just have to search through it
