Dynamics Questions: Spring Scale and Fire Helicopter
So what you've done for this problem? You just use the Newton's second law \vec{F} = m\vec{a} to solve these two problems :)- phucnv87

Finding Distance with Varying Force: A Homework Problem
You should use the Newton's second law in this form F = m\frac{dv}{dt} Then you find v as a function of time t. Remember that dx = vdt. Calculate \int_0^{20}dx to find the answer.- phucnv87

Acceleration of Cart Rolling Down Incline
Consider motion starting from rest over distance x along the incline: Mgx\sin\theta = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2 + 2(\frac{1}{2}mR^2)(\frac{v}{R})^2 2Mgx\sin\theta = (M+2m)v^2 On the other hand v^2 = 2ax 2Mgx\sin\theta = (M+2m)2ax a = \frac{Mg}{M+2m}\sin\theta- phucnv87

A KE derivation from Compton Effect
\Delta E=\frac{hc}{\lambda_0}(1-\frac{\lambda_0}{\lambda}) 1-\frac{\lambda_0}{\lambda}=\frac{\lambda-\lambda_0}{\lambda}=\frac{\frac{\lambda-\lambda_0}{\lambda_0}}{1+\frac{\lambda-\lambda_0}{\lambda_0}} Consider \frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda_0}=\frac{\lambda-\lambda_0}{\lambda_0} And we...- phucnv87

Just wondering, how do you combine series?
If all of the springs are on a line, the constants is \frac{1}{k_1}+\frac{1}{2}+...+\frac{1}{k_n} And if all of the springs are parallel each other, the constant is k=k_1+k_2+...+k_n[/color]- phucnv87

Force on Series of Springs: Does It Equal Sum?
No, no. If the force apply to the 1^{st} spring, the equation will be F=k_1\Delta l_1[/color]- phucnv87
