    Conservation of linear momentum collision

    You are doing it correctly, calculate the vf again from your last equation it is coming out to be 3.4m/s. vf= 2(3)-2(1.5*\sqrt{3}/2) = 6 - 2.6 = 3.4

    Simple harmonic motion rise and fall of water

    The time period of oscillations is given to you as 12hrs, the amplitude is (9-5)/2 = 2 meters, now for the tide to be at least 6m (minimum need for ship to pass), your oscillator must be 1m away from the lowest position moving toward the center.

    Capacitor Problem: Calculating C1/C2 Ratio | Homework Statement & Equations

    Since the capacitors are connected in parallel connection, the plates connected with each other will have the same potential, and assuming ideal conditions(i.e no heat loss during charge transfer) the initial energy of the system(consisting C1) will be equal to the final energy of the system...

    What are the allowed transitions in the pure rotational spectra of CO2 molecule?

    I know that the selection rule is : \DeltaJ = +/- 1 but our prof said that according to some quantum mechanical calculations the odd values of J are not allowed. So, the allowed transitions are : J 0 <-> 1 ; 2 <-> 3 ; 4 <-> 5... as...
