Understanding Electrostatics: How Does the Charge Sign Affect the Formula?
like i have 1, 18000 volts, the second was 9000 volts, and the third also 9000 volts but the coulumb charge was -2, instead of 2 like the first so does that mean the final voltage is only 18000, so a negative couloumb charge actually subtractsf rom the total voltage?- SS2006

Understanding Electrostatics: How Does the Charge Sign Affect the Formula?
ur right about the force part, i meant it i don't use it in the equation to find the Force magnitude, then i can draw FBD's to see which way itll go , cause of positive or negative, thanks a lot man! So for the Voltage equation, if one q is -2 microcouloumbs then i minus the whole kq1/r term right- SS2006

Understanding Electrostatics: How Does the Charge Sign Affect the Formula?
the formula v = kq1/r +kq2/r if a charge is -2 micro couloumbs for instance is that put into the equatoin and it becomes minused instead or the sign doesn't effect q in the formula cuase i remmeber in the f = kq1q2 the sign has no effect- SS2006

Solving for Acceleration on an Inclined Ramp
I have a 1kg weight on a rmap inclined 20degrees being pulled upwards and to the left *******- ***********- ************** - ******************- in that motion above(look at dashes only), is it -ma or +ma? so the equation is -a = t - mgsin20 or a = t - mgsin20 I am just wondering if a...- SS2006

Coloumbs Laws and electric fields
yup i knew of that i got mass, I am looking for acceleration but what's force f = q * e right i got e just don't know what q is (what they mean by q = +e)- SS2006

Coloumbs Laws and electric fields
Determine the acceleration of a proton (q = +e, m = 1.67 E -27) in an electric field of intensity 500 N/C. How many times is this acceleration greater then that due of gravity I'm not so understanding on todays lessons the 2 formulas I can recall are f = q*e and e = f/q but i don't see...- SS2006

Solving for Extension Needed to Reach Target Distance with a Spring
im tyring a ISP for physics which detrmines were the sprign will land when shot off a frame, with the target being 3 m away we got this formula d (x) = [1/9.8 * k/m ] * x square where x is the extension needed to make it reach d (x) which is 3 m my quesiotn is anyways, does a higher K value...- SS2006
