    Understanding the Relationship Between Wheel Rotation and Turning Difficulty

    Unfortunately, its the assignment. I'm getting rediculous values.. around 700 for moment of inertia, around 500 for angular acceleration, resulting in a torque that's... really, really large. I'm assuming those are probably wrong? I'm doing this all on qualitative observation of a tape.

    Understanding the Relationship Between Wheel Rotation and Turning Difficulty

    Hi guys, I have a question. I have lived life in the apparent belief that if a car is moving at a fast enough speed, turning it's wheel becomes increasingly difficult. Could somebody explain that concept to me? I assume it has something to do with the angular momentum of the wheel to make the...

    Question regarding de Broglie wavelength.

    Hi there, Is it possible if an object were to hypothetically gain enough momentum such that its de Broglie wavelength is equivalent to, say, some light in the visible spectrum, that the object would emit light? Thanks!

    Overcome Struggles in Math and Physics

    Wow, that was very inspiring. Thank you. I suppose I never saw there as being 2 sorts of thinkers. And your English is just fine. :) May I ask what you did your PhD on? Thank you for the comment. I'm trying to consider ways to minimize my errors right now... it isn't that I do not know how...

    Overcome Struggles in Math and Physics

    Hi there, I have generally had a very strong aptitude towards Mathematics & Physics. Conceptually, that is. I find it very simple to grasp rudimentary as well as advanced Physics concepts very quickly, and can make connections easily. I love both subjects and wish to pursue both (primarily...

    Solving for average acceleration.

    Homework Statement A car initially moving at 12 m/s [E 30o N] accelerates until it reaches a final velocity of 10 m/s [E]. What was the average acceleration of the car? I couldn't attempt anything. There isn't any magnitude given save for velocity, so I have no clue how to solve this, and...
