Uhm all I was definitely given were that there are two particles each with some momentum (and possibly some charge). The only reason why I think its supposed to be relativistic is because that's what we were going over before the problem was assigned? I really wish I could be less vague, but...

Homework Statement Given the momentum p1 and p2, find the distance of closest approach (b) also known as the impact parameter. I think we are also given charges q because I later have written solve for b2 in terms of x2, q2, P2, p\bulletx, q\bulletx, and p\bulletq. [those are supposed to be dot...

"Two capacitors connected with TWO wires must be connected in parallel. Interesting things could happen for a very short time if one of them was charged and the other not charged when they are connected. But soon transient currents would cease and you would just have effectively one capacitor...

This isn't for anyone specific homework problem, just a general lack of understanding of series and parallel circuits in certain cases. Given most normal circuits with a battery and some varying combination of capacitors and resistors I can tell which branches are in series and parallel and...

Homework Statement A uniform circular ring of charge Q= 4.50 microCoulombs and radius R= 1.30 cm is located in the x-y plane, centered on the origin. A point z is located along the Z axis. If z << R then E is proportional to z. (You should verify this by taking the limit of your expression...

I attached my freebody diagrams. Sorry for the iffy MS paint quality.

Problem: A small block of mass m rests on the rough, sloping side of a triangular block of mass M which itself rests on a horizontal frictionless table. If the coefficient of static friction is u determine the minimum horizontal force F applied to ramp M that will cause the small block m to...
