Anyone? Anything at all?

I am not looking so much for answers to problems, but I was sick the day of this lecture and need some clarification. I think I understand what to do, but some support would be great. Homework Statement What is the gravitational force acting on a sphere on particle 'm' located at distance 'r'...

you have PM.

Ok, thank you. I will look for some info on this. I am not too familiar with the equations of a pulley. To clarify the problem, I am looking for the mass of a block hanging from a single pulley. From the problem I am given the mass of the pulley, the radius of the pulley, and the tension in...

I tried solving for acceleration then using: ma = mg - T, rearranged as T = m(g-a) but this did not give me a correct solution either. hmmmmm.

OK, my largest issue with dealing with uniform cylindrical pulleys and a single block (object) is understanding where mass of the block relates in any of the equations. Specifically, I was doing some problems earlier with no issues at all. Then I came across one asking about the mass of the...

Here is my problem: I am new to physics all together, NEVER a physics course at all. I am in a Calculus Based physics class, placed there due to the A's I made last semester in calculus (and for other scheduling conflicts) The problems involving the equations of motion are giving me trouble...

When you have a variable (let's use x) you can use this formula: (1/n+1)x^n+1. Read as: "One over n plus one, times the variable, that variable raised to n plus one. "n" is the original power from the problem. Example: x^4 would be 1/5 x^5. To prove this, you could find the...
