    B Why do softer brake pads stop a bike faster?

    I do mean the question assuming the same amount of brake force is being applied with each type of pad. I suppose I could have clarified better. I meant the question in terms of where does all the kinetic energy go exactly. I know some of it goes to thermal energy but does pad wear count as a...

    B Why do softer brake pads stop a bike faster?

    Why do softer brake pads stop a bicycle faster, and wear faster, and harder brake pads stop a bicycle slower, and wear slower? Thanks Much in advanced!

    Boiling Water Faster in Increments?

    Not yet. When get the necessary resources to perform a controlled experiment I plan to.

    Boiling Water Faster in Increments?

    Thank you that is what I thought as well but my friend was arguing otherwise.

    Boiling Water Faster in Increments?

    If I have a 1.5 kilowatt range can I get 5 gallons of water boiling faster by introducing it to the pot in small increments and waiting for the water that's already in the pot to start boiling before introducing the next increment or would it be the same amount of time if I just dumped the whole...

    Can somone help me figure out what this assembly does?

    Homework Statement I have an assembly and I can't seem to figure out what it does. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I know the bottom part simply mounts it to a table or something and its pretty obvious how it would be assembled however I'm not sure if the device as...

    Finding the distance between 2 charges in electric equilibrium.

    Ok I've tried setting the formulas for the forces equal to each other since its electric equilibrium so the forces must be the same and tried to solve for ra the radius of the first two and I am not sure if i did it incorrectly or i made an algebra mistake it could easily be both as I'm not very...

    Finding the distance between 2 charges in electric equilibrium.

    Homework Statement Charge A and charge B are 2.2m apart.Charge A is 1.0C, and charge B is 2.0c. Charge C, which is 2.0C, is located between them and is in electrostatic equilibrium. How far from charge A is charge C. Homework Equations E = KcQ1Q2/r^2-------Electric force Formula where E...

    How to find Change in velocity on an Acceleration vs TIme Graph?

    Homework Statement The question is: Acceleration versus time graphs for five objects are shown below. All axes have the same scale. Which object had the greatest change in velocity during the interval?2. The attempt at a solution Not sure how to start here I only know about distance over time...
