    Where Does the Charge Go When Connected to a Grounded Capacitor?

    What happens to a charged object, it can be anything, when it's connected to a capacitor, and the other side of the capacitor is grounded. Does the charge disappear?

    Maximizing Distance and Angular Velocity: Solving a Billiard Ball Problem

    Homework Statement A billiard ball is struck by a cue as is shown in the figure. The line of action of the applied impulse is horizontal and passes through the center of the ball. The initial velocity v0 of the ball after impact, its radius R, its mass m, the acceleration due to gravity g, and...

    Finding Relations for Net Force with Two Exerted Forces at 150 Degrees Angle

    Homework Statement The directions of two forces \vec{F_{1}} and \vec{F_{2}} (with F1 > F2) that are exerted at a point from angle of 150 degrees between them. Find the relations that must exist between the magnitudes of these forces \vec{F_{1}} and \vec{F_{2}} so that the net force has a...

    Calculating Acceleration Direction from Given Forces

    I'm familiar with kinematic equations and Newtons laws.So far I've gotten the resultant vector and used tan^-1(1/42) to find an angle of 1.364, i just need to know if I'm on the right track.

    Calculating Acceleration Direction from Given Forces

    Three forces acting on an object are given by vectors F1=(-2i + 2j)N, F2 = (5i - 3j)N, and F3 = (-45i)N. The object experiences an acceleration of magnitude 3.75m/s^2. What is the direction of acceleration? So far I've got the resultant vector, but I'm not sure what to do with the vector.
