    How Do You Name a Nonane with an Isopropyl and Methyl Branch?

    i really don't know where to start on this one. I know the main chain is nonane. The branch looks like isopropyl with a methy on it. However i don't think that's the right answer. All help is greatly apreciated! http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/1273/chemsk0.png

    What Is the Prism Made Of Given Its Apex Angle and Minimum Deviation?

    Ok so here's a homework question. I honestly don't know where to begin. A prism with an apex angle of 40 degrees induces a minimum deviation of 20 degrees. What is the prism made of. Judging by what the question is asking for, I think I need to find the refractive index thru Snells law...

    Help Deriving the equation Ek=1/2mv^2

    Ok, first question, where does the Ek come from. It is not in any other equation, doesn't it have to be in order for me to derive i?

    Help Deriving the equation Ek=1/2mv^2

    Ok these are the equations I am allowed to use. Ep=mg(delta)h w=fd v_av=(delta)d/(delta)t (delta)d=v1(delta)t^2 + 1/2a(delta)t^2 V2=V1^2 + 2a(delta)d w=work done(j) f=force(Newtons) d=distance(m) v_av=average velocity t=time(secs) v2=final velocity v1=initial velocity a=acceleration...

    What Are the Units of Constant C in a Force Equation?

    are you sure it can't be done w/o calculus? My friend did it and got -C/(3a) + C/a Is this right? If it is, i don't understand why there is a -c in the equation.

    What Are the Units of Constant C in a Force Equation?

    Ok, I got joule metre as the unit. Is this right? Is this also know as a Newton?

    What Are the Units of Constant C in a Force Equation?

    I thought your earlier post was implying that i did not give enough information. Can I still find the units?
