    Avg Velocity Calculation: San Antonio-Houston & Back

    ya you i get it ek... and i know the difference between physics sums and apples... that's ok... i know how to do it that way but is that quite right physically ? Thats my problem I don't get the physical significance of it otherwise average is kid's play.. btw this is not my homework or anything...

    Avg Velocity Calculation: San Antonio-Houston & Back

    consult a map... ? Thats not given in the problem.. and i got a serious problem u say ? Well u might be right. I still do not understand what to do... This sum is from Fundamentals Of Physics - Resnick Halliday Walker 1st chapter.. and by the way i missed out on some info... ie.. On the way back...

    Solving for Forces on an Inclined Suitcase

    isnt normal force = 18g ? and the angle is cos inverse of (27/43) ? what i did is 43cosx = 27 for the angle ... and mg = normal force. Is this correct ?

    2 Masses, Friction, Inclined Plane, Pulley problem

    you get two dynamical equations... In which there are only two unknowns... Tension and acceleration... frictional force is known... Two equations two variables...Voila ! Theres your answer

    Erg, revenge for the physics teacher?

    hi julie, im new to this forum anyway what I think you should do is firstly try to get on his good side. Try making a direct suggestion or something like that. Anyway for your project why not try Michelson's Interferometer. But that wouldn't solve an everyday problem... So you could go in for...

    Avg Velocity Calculation: San Antonio-Houston & Back

    Average velocity ? You're driving an interstate 10 from Sn Antonio to Houston half the time at 55km/hr and the other half at 90km/hr . What is your average speed a) from San Antonio to Houston b) from Houston back to San Antonio c) for the entire trip ? What is your average velocity for the...

    What Is the Required Coefficient of Static Friction for a Car on a Banked Curve?

    How about just doing it the hard way eh ? Try deriving an expression for the angle of banking. while doing so try to take your problem into it. Btw I'm new too...
