    What is the minimum force needed to make a brick topple in a moving train?

    A brick of mass 50 g is placed on a level floor inside a moving train. The dimensions of the brick is 10cm*8.0cm*6.0cm. It is placed with one of its 10cm*6cm faces on the floor so that the 6.0 cm edges are parallel to the direction of motion. The train is braked suddenly. Assume that the floor...

    Solve Centrifuge Problem with Calculus & Angular Velocity

    I have a problem with a small physics problem. It requires some knowledge of calculus which I don't yet posses I am looking here for ideas. The problem states that there is a centrifuge tube with a length 12cm that is caused to spin by a rotating arm with lengt 8 cm. The tube is filled with 10...

    Uniform Acceleration: Why (v+v0)/2 Works

    hey guys will you help me out or give me links to understand why the formula (v + v0)/2 works out only when acceleration is constant? I believe it has to do with uniform acceleration maintaining an evenly distributed displacement, but I need to get this right so I can understand it clearly

    How do I derive the formula for free fall displacement?

    Thanks Hey thanks to all you guys I never did know you could set the initial velocity to zero! that solved the entire problem thank you. Now I am wondering why I never thought of that well anyways thanks guys

    How do I derive the formula for free fall displacement?

    Hey could anyone help me out there to know how you get to the formula of free fall displacement. D= 1/2 x g x t^2? I really have no clue of how to get it using other formulas. I started using the D=Vi x T + 1/2 x A x T^2 but then I got stuck I didnt know which other formula to bring into cancel...
