    Calculating Kinetic Energy Gain from Lifting Object: A Practice Exercise

    Hi Sora, we're not supposed to giving direct answer, but instead guide the student. It is written in http://https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=414380" . :-)

    Calculating Kinetic Energy Gain from Lifting Object: A Practice Exercise

    This part I don't understand why you're doing so, can you explain it?

    Why Does Terminal a Show Negative Potential in This Circuit Analysis?

    I don't understand what does the original text discussing, anyway, I guess that your confusion is that why the right-hand side current source is pointing upwards, but the potential at the upper node is lower than the ground. I think that the reason is that the current source is not the only...

    Projectile motion of a thrown object

    Sorry, I'm new here. I'll avoid repeating the mistake. :blushing:

    Why Does Grounding Affect Current Flow in a Circuit?

    I know they are the same point. That is the reason why electrical current will not flow to the upper side of the circuit. Instead, the current only exist in the lower mesh only. Do I get it wrong?:confused:

    Why Does Grounding Affect Current Flow in a Circuit?

    Hi, just some addition. Since the two node is connected, short circuit does happen. Therefore your calculation is not sound.

    Projectile motion of a thrown object

    Hi all! An much simpler way to find the time taken for the object to lane is just using s = ut + 0.5at^2 (-30.8) = (23.8 sin 30')t + 0.5(-9.8)t^2 4.9t^2 - 11.9t - 30.8 = 0 Solving the quadratic equation we can get the time travel from starting point until it lands on the ground, then just...
