    Finding velocity with magnetism?

    so if F=qvB then V=Bq/F but when i plus in the charge for the electron is it negative or postive 1.6 x 10^-19 bc can a velocity be a negative answer?

    How Does Changing Plate Radius Affect Capacitance in a Parallel Plate Capacitor?

    Consider a parallel plate capacitor constructed from two circular metal plates of radius R. The plates are separated by a distance of 1.6mm a. What radius must the plates have if the capacitence is 2.8 micro F? b. if the separation between the plates is decreased, should the radius of the...

    Electric potential: finding speed and distance?

    A charge of 3.45 micro C is held fixed at the origin. A second charge of 3.45 micro C (micro = x10^-6) is released at the position (1.15m, .77 m). a. If the mass of the second charge is 2.3 g, what is the speed when it moves infinately far from the origin? b. At what distance from the...

    Finding the force (complicated)?

    Homework Statement An object of mass m = 6.70 kg has an acceleration a = (1.17 m/s2)x + (-0.664 m/s2)y. Three forces act on this object: F1, F2, and F3. Given that F1 = (2.71 N)x and F2 = (-1.55 N)x + (2.05 N)y, find F3. ( N)x + ( N)y Homework Equations I'll be honest, i have no clue...

    Understanding the Best Fit Line: What Does It Mean?

    best fit line? DOes that mean you draw a line/curve connecting the dots? Or does that mean you draw a line in between the dots leaving some above and some below? or does that mean you connect the dots but leave out the ones that dnt fit with the shape? please help

    Physics lab help, determining acceleration thru V vs T graph?

    BEST FIT LINE ok I am supposed to make these for the graph. but does that mean i draw a line through the points, or have half points above and half below?? please explain (or do i just leave out points that dnt fit>.?)
