Thanks everyone! I got the answer! Ill just try to break every problem like this into components.

I don't see how you can make vectors out of fields =\ my teacher says the solution doesn't have anything to do with vectors.

Homework Statement What is the electric field at Point P shown below? http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/2268/58580322.png Homework Equations \begin{flalign*} E & = & & k \ \frac{q}{r^2} \ \mbox{ or } \ \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \ \frac{q}{r^2}\\ V & = &...

Well i solved it and it came out to be 1.79m/s2. Does it matter which of them has the negative acceleration or do both have equal positive accelerations?

So should I still set the two things equal then substitute one of the accelerations(a2) out to find the other(a1) then use what you gave me to find the other(a2)?

Homework Statement Two 2kg blocks are joined by a massless cord and pulley, ignoring friction, determine each block's acceleration using a free body diagram for each. Picture for visual aid: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2653/86460048.png or a link...
