    Sarah Asks: How Does Adding Resistors in Parallel Affect Circuit Current?

    Hey! I had to do 3 labs tonight and I got stuck on one of the last questions! I was wondering if anyone could help me. Here's the question: As more resistors are added in parallel to an existing circuit, what happens to the toal circuit current? Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Solving Two Charge Problems - Coulombs and Electrons

    Hey everyone! I was wondering if someone could help me with these two physics problems i have to turn in tomorrow. Here's the first: An ebonite rod with an excess of 6.4 X 10^8 electrons shares its charge equally with a pith ball when they touch. What is the charge on the pith ball, in...

    Why do some objects float and others sink?

    Hey guys. I have several questions (big test tomorrow!) so here they are: Does anyone know what "Viscous fluid flow" and what "nonviscous flow" is? Could anyone explain to me generally what a barometer is? I don't get why a helium balloon floats but a regular air baloon sinks. I actually just...

    Buoyancy lab for my physics class

    I'm trying to do a lab for my physics class. It wants me to calculate the weight of the water displaced when I put a 500-g mass in a cup of water. I know the volume which is 59.0 ml. And I also know that the Buoyant force i s 0.56 N. I thought that the Buoyant force equals the volume of the...
