    Electric Charges, Electric Forces and Electric Fields

    Once the electric force is calculated, it must be equal to the gravitational force since the charge is floating. What formula is used to calculate the gravitational force acting on a mass?

    Electric Charges, Electric Forces and Electric Fields

    Which formula can be used to find the strength of the electric force due to the field?

    Diverging lens, calculating image location

    The usual sign convention for thin lenses is such that the image distance is negative if the image is in front of the lens.

    Distance travelled by the case down a ramp w/a spring at the bottom

    Right. The 2.0 cm figure is only used to determine the spring constant.

    Vector sum of magnetic and electronic forces

    Some guiding questions that may help: 1. What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field at a point 4.5 cm above the wire? 2. What formula is used to calculate the force acting on a moving charge in a magnetic field?

    Speed, distance and spring on a track

    The speed wouldn't be the same all along the track. Tarzan accelerates down the hill and decelerates up the ramp.

    Coefficient of kinetic friction of a sliding crate

    There is one thing; it looks just like a typo though: This: a = [(1/2)(0-2.0)2] / 1.5 m should be written like this: a = [(1/2)((0 m/s)^2-(2.0 m/s)^2)]/1.5 m The answer isn't changed, though.

    Solve for the time and initial velocity of a ball rolling off a table?"

    If the ball were simply dropped from a height of 1.19 m, how long would it take to fall?

    How Does Doubling Molecular Mass Affect Vibration Frequency?

    The denominator should be 2m, since the deuterium is twice as massive as the hydrogen.

    SHM - Horizontal Spring Question

    Halfway to the equilibrium position would be half the amplitude.

    Understand Ohm's Law: Proportional Relationship Explained

    "Direct proportion" means that as one variable increases, the other increases (more voltage = more current). "Indirect proportion" means that as one variable increases, the other decreases (more resistance = less current).
