Ah, I understand now. Thank you.

That being said, is there anyway light could become charged through an outside factor? Or is it physically impossible?

Not really sure if this is the right location for this post, but here it goes. I have found myself becoming increasingly interested in light and wondering if the speed of light could be increased by some amount. If the light was charged, and released near a powerful electric field, could the...

Thank you. One more question though to make sure I have it down. I know that the gpe would be mass*gravity*height. So for the cans would I use the mass of the can*9.8*center of gravity height?

Once the gravitational potential energy difference is found, would the difference of them be the total needed to tip the can?

Okay, I have the diagram drawn. Would I just do the distance between the two points x the force required to get it there? I believe that the formula for work which is equal to energy would be distance * force?

Homework Statement I need to figure out how much force it would take to knock a can over. Homework Equations As of now, I have no clue where to even start with this. The Attempt at a Solution I was told by a friend that the way to solve it is by finding the difference between the...
