    Calculating Air Pressure of Upside-Down Cup in Bathtub

    the total force that u are exerting will be equal to the buoyant force + the force exerted by the pressurised air inside the cup. the buoyant force wil be propotional to volume of CUP(not the inside hollow),ie the priphery which is submerged in the liquid and the force exerted by the air inside...

    Simulating the Spiralling Motion of a Coin on a Table

    i am trying to simulate the spiralling motion of a coin that is rolled on a table.i am having three equations... 1. the gyroscopic moment equation. 2. the conservation of energy equation. 3. general kinematic equation. three unknowns...curvature radius,precession velocity and coin...

    Solve for Post-Collision Masses: Conservation of Momentum

    find the final momentum in the x and y directions.they must be equal to the initial momentum. final momentum in x direction = M* v(x) = m1*v1(x) + m2*v2(x) final momentum in y direction = M* v(y) = m1*v1(y) + m2*v2(y) u know M=m1+m2, m1,m2 and v1 and v2. find v(x) and v(y).

    Physics Q&A Game: Calculate Minimum Power for Man-Powered Helicopter

    I think u don't have to finish off the extinguisher.once u attain a good velocity u don't have to spray more as in space since there is no air,so u won't be slowed down.so u need to spray more only for a change of direction.

    Door naturally swings if the hinges are not properly aligned

    i think the door will not move on its own unless there is some amount of wind to push it.shyboy said that it will move provided the centre of gravity moves down as it rotates.such a situation is called an unstable equilibrium...ie just a little push is required is needed to get it moving and...
