    Solving the Overheating Problem of My Battery Load Tester

    I have a battery load tester that is giving me trouble. A battery load tester is connected to a battery and the voltage can be found. Upon pressing a button on the load tester the circuit is completed between the positive and negative terminal on the battery and the cranking amps of the...

    Confusion with Electric Potential/Potential Energy

    There is a problem I am finding quite confusing: Two particles, with charges of 20.0 nC and -20.0nC, are placed at the points with coordinates (0,4.00cm) and (0,-4.00cm). A particle with charge 10.0 nC is lcoated at the origin. Find the electric potential energy of the configuration of the...

    How Do You Integrate Complex Numbers into Differential Equations Solutions?

    Wow! Thanks for the help guys! And thanks for catching my mistake ehild! I guess that is why I shouldn't work on these problems at the wee hours of the morning.

    How Do You Integrate Complex Numbers into Differential Equations Solutions?

    So would I be correct in saying that : y = e^((-1/2)*x)*[(C1Cos((Square root of 2)/2)*X) + (C2Sin((Square root of 2)/2)*X)] is correct? Where C1 represents some constant and C2 represents some other constant.

    How Do You Integrate Complex Numbers into Differential Equations Solutions?

    I believe that I have worked the problem correctly to the point where I am, however I am not sure how to incorporate complex numbers into my answer? The problem is :Make the substitution v = ln x to solve 4x^2 * y" + 8xy' - 3y = 0. Where " represents double prime, and ' represents prime...

    Solve Gauss's Law: Electric Flux Through Sphere from Line Charge

    I don't know why I didnt see that right off, I must be working too hard :P I wasnt seeing R as the hypotenuse for some reason. I feel like a dummy for making that second post now heh Thank you StatusX you have been a great help !

    Solve Gauss's Law: Electric Flux Through Sphere from Line Charge

    Ok so I have Flux = (lambda * length)/permittivity of free space(e) when I set (lambda * length)/e = (2 * lambda/e) * (square root of R^2 - d^2) I get length = 2 * (square root of R^2 - d^2) I am having an awefully difficult time seeing the relationship between these two. I know that...

    Solve Gauss's Law: Electric Flux Through Sphere from Line Charge

    An infinitely long line charge having a uniform charge per unit length (half-life - if anyone could tell me the correct name for that symbol it would be great too :)) lies a distance d from the point O, where the point O is the center of a sphere. Determine the total electric flux through the...

    Torque exerted by cranksahft on load

    I am in need of help regarding a problem which asks for the torque exerted by the crankshaft on the load. Initialy I am given that a gasoline engine operating at 2500 rev/min takes in energy 7.89 X 10^3 J and exhausts 4.58 X 10^3 J for each revolution of the crankshaft. I found the...

    Calculating Work in an Adiabatic Process for a Diatomic Gas

    I have 5.00 mol of O2(Oxygen) at 20.0 Celsius and 1.00atm. I will compress this to 1/10 the original volume. Find the work? The correct answer is 46.1 Kj I am having a terrible time with this. This is what I know: Q = 0 for an adiabatic process, and the change in internal energy is...

    Finding Final Volume - almost got it

    Ok, here is what is given: 1.00 mol O2 Ti = 300K Vi = 5.00L 4400 j of energy transferred by heat to the system Vf = ? Constant Pressure = 29.4 J/mol * K So I set the problem up using Q = n(Constant Pressure)(Tf - T-i) Solving for Tf I find that Tf is equal to 449.7K. Then using...

    Moments of Inertia, almost got it

    Yes the assembly looks some what like an xyz coordinate system with all of the centers of mass (midpoints) at the center.

    Moments of Inertia, almost got it

    The three rods are joined at their midpoints.

    Moments of Inertia, almost got it

    The problem is: Three identical thin rods, each of length L and mass m, are welded perpendicular to one another. The assembly is rotated about an axis that passes through the end of one rod and is parallel to another. Determine the moment of intertia of this structure. Ok what I know is...
