    Force on a Current-carrying loop

    thanks! that worked for me! But why do we do 4 times for each turn when we are only looking at one side?

    Exploring Entropy: How is the Universe Increasing in Disorder?

    The statement "an increase in the entropy of the system will be exactly equal to the entropy decrease of the surroundings. So the net change in the entropy of the system and its surroundings is zero" is straight of a kaplan physics review book for the MCAT. It didn't make sense to me because it...

    Exploring Entropy: How is the Universe Increasing in Disorder?

    For example, an increase in the entropy of the system will be exactly equal to the entropy decrease of the surroundings. So the net change in the entropy of the system and its surroundings is zero. Putting this in perspective to all the systems and environments in our universe, how is the...

    Help with displacement and velocity of waves on a string (using trig)

    Hello all, excited to be on the forums. I'm having trouble solving a problem from one of my past exams (prepping for final). Could you please guide me? The displacement associated with a wave on a string has the functional form y = 0.2 cos (10x - 4t). What is the wave speed? The answer...
