wouldn't it be just Pressure/2 ?

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?

Thanks, trying it out now :D

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...

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...

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.

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.
