    Pulley on a moving base problem

    Ye, steady state makes more sense, sorry for my mis-wording. :P m3a3 was of course a mistake - didn't notice it. :P Sorry, again. If acceleration is constant, you can somewhat say it is "steady", at least theta would remain steady.

    Pulley on a moving base problem

    No, m2v2 is momentum, and m3v3 is momentum. I'm not mixing forces with momentum. You that equation to calculate (I believe) the speed (and acceleration) of block 3. (you might also need to add m1v1, as they are on the "static" side). With vertical, I meant m1 being "vertical". :P Not the...

    Pulley on a moving base problem

    It took me a little while to understand how it would look like at t=0, but this does make sense. You should have drawn it at t=0. :P Draw as it is draw, it suggest that theta(t) with t=0 isn't 0. :V

    How correct are these concepts about circuits?

    I still have no idea what this thread is about. Not want to be rude, or something, but there is importance of formatting and proper punctuation.

    Pulley on a moving base problem

    You need to create two equations, and solve them like that (unless you don't know how to, mathematically). And, yes, masses are important, because you need to calculate it using forces, but what you are really interested in here are accelerations.

    Pulley on a moving base problem

    You need to connect them, in one equation, so when you calculate a2 (from a1), you also connect it to possible theta from a3, because theta will affect your a1.

    What cause the atomic orbitals electron configuration ?

    I think OP is asking for the most basic stuff.

    Pulley on a moving base problem

    Find a2, by calculating the force that m1 will pull the line with. (I assume no friction between m3 and m2 too) From momentum conservation, calculate a3. (m2v2 + m3a3 = 0 in any given moment) Theta will be pretty much cosine of a1 (assuming it is vertical) and a3

    What cause the atomic orbitals electron configuration ?

    It is far easier to understand simple Bohr model, than start with solving Schrödinger equation, don't you think? And yes, it does explain electronic configuration. (electron energy levels)

    Is There a Trick to Remembering the Trigonometric Functions?

    I don't know for the others, but I learned how to not mistake them the "practical way". Inclined plane was the best way for me to understand how this stuff works. All you need to remember is that sin(0)=0 sin(90deg)=1 cos(0)=1 cos(90deg)=0 And then certain inclinations of the plane. (for...

    What cause the atomic orbitals electron configuration ?

    Quantization of energy levels. Think you want to read this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model

    How correct are these concepts about circuits?

    I have problem understanding what OP's problem is. Wire is not source of voltage, no. Also, there is no "voltage" in point. Voltage of a point is 0, because voltage is difference of electric potential. On your 2), voltage between "a" and "b" will be 0 (assuming perfect wire, with no...

    Why does height affect the amount of damage an object does?

    I'd say the energy here is crucial, which is in turn connected to speed - kinetic energy (hope I don't have to write it down). Ever heard that bullet has "that-and-that kJ"? This is how sometimes destructive potential of a weapon is given. It is true that the "force" that penny will be...

    How is Stress Generated in a Body Despite Equal Opposing Forces?

    The reaction force IS the stress (somewhat... :D). For system to remain static, material needs to generate force equal to force applied to it, which is exactly stress. And if you are asking why stress is generated - stress is resistance to outside force to break integrity of the material. You...

    Increasing Flow rate through system

    ^ This is false. You still have fluid in the pipe, which does increase the pressure, which can in turn, potentially, increase the fluid flow. You WILL get higher static pressure on the bottom using the H0-H2, because it is contained inside the tube, instead of being depressurized to the...
