    Why is Normal Force Negative in this situation?

    The problem is if you define negative as down, then the following will occur: N - mg = (mV^2)/L ----> Vmax = sqrt(-gL). This does not seem plausible given that you can't square root a negative number.

    Why is Normal Force Negative in this situation?

    Homework Statement The physics of circular motion sets an upper limit to the speed of human walking. (If you need to go faster, your gait changes from a walk to a run.) If you take a few steps and watch what's happening, you'll see that your body pivots in circular motion over your forward foot...

    How to Get Good At Problem-Solving ?

    Hey guys I am taking a calculus course that is mainly on computation, no proofs. For the most part the computation is easy, but I struggle to solve "challenging" problems and I don't know how to practice for these problems. An example is I will attempt a solution to the problem but get no...

    Organic Chemistry - Nomenclature Question

    Homework Statement (see uploaded attachment for picture). I basically have to name this molecule. The Attempt at a Solution I don't know where to start counting for the longest carbon chain and I'm not sure if it's a nonane or octane. If you guys can help it'd be much appreciated

    Any good self-teaching Calculus materials?

    Hey, next year I'm going into University. I will be taking a more computational-style calculus course, I believe the textbook will be by James Stewart: Single Variable calculus (my assumptions), and I will also be taking Physics. I'm wondering if you guys could give me a list of helpful websites...
