    Understanding Magnetic Field Interactions: How Do Perpendicular Fields Act?

    I have a few questions on magnetic fields: . 1) If two magnetic fields are perpendicular, how do they act? . 2) If the fields are setup as shown in the diagram [see attachment] how do they act? . For #2 I see how it is setup, but I get confused by all the circling ad everything :confused...

    How Is Electric Force Balancing a Suspended Charged Ball in a Capacitor?

    A small plastic ball of mass 6.10 10-3 kg and charge +0.150 µC is suspended from an insulating thread and hangs between the plates of a capacitor (see the drawing). The ball is in equilibrium, with the thread making an angle of 30.0° with respect to the vertical. The area of each plate is...

    Fluids - I wish the answer would flow to me

    i really cannot get these and my grade depends on these :uhh: No clue on #1 But for 2nd I try to find sum of forces and set equal to the weight of the cylinder, but it isn't right...

    Fluids - I wish the answer would flow to me

    Fluids - I wish the answer would "flow" to me I have two problems to do and I seem to suck at fluids...:tongue: . The drawing shows a hydraulic system used with disc brakes. The force F is applied perpendicularly to the brake pedal. The brake pedal rotates about the axis shown in the drawing...

    Use mercury barometer to fing height of building

    A mercury barometer reads 700.0 mm on the roof of a building and 715 mm on the ground. Assuming a constant value of 1.29 kg/m3 for the density of air, determine the height of the building. . My setup was finding the difference in the pressures for mercury and get 15 mm Hg Then use Hg density...

    Angular Velocity Calculation for a Ballistic Cylinder with a Fired Bullet

    Conservation of momentum (mv = (M+m)v') will get a linear speed, which can be converted to rotational speed if I am remembering right...:rolleyes:
