    Solve for Frequency and Velocity in a Uniform Tube with Open Ends

    As Chi Meson stated "difference in tube length between any two successive harmonics is half a wavelength", using this u can easily find the wavelength and then u can find velocity. U will find that the lowest frequency for the tube will be in the second harmonic.

    Max speed perpendicular to the wave's direction

    here u have to take x=0 as u r considering the perpendicular velocity. So once u assume that differentiate it and then u will get the max. value

    How to Calculate When a Bowling Ball Will Begin to Roll Without Sliding

    Here is the correct solution I just figured out. fR=I(alpha) ...(f=frictional force) maR=(2/5)mR^2*(a/R) ( where a is the translational accln.) m(Vx-Vo)=(2/5)mR^2*((Vx-Vo)/R) from here u will get Vx=(5/7)Vo... =p

    Electric Field for Equilibrium of Two Spheres with Charges in a Uniform Field

    can u give me a diagram of the arrangement because in I assumed electric field to be in the left directrion and positive charge in the left and the negative charge in the right. Is that right?

    Electric Field for Equilibrium of Two Spheres with Charges in a Uniform Field

    Eq=kq^2/(20sin10)^2+Tsin10...1 mg=Tcos10...2 Solving these two equations u should be able to get the answer.

    How to Calculate When a Bowling Ball Will Begin to Roll Without Sliding

    ok distance traveled from the time the ball has been thrown and it starts to roll= (Vo^2-Vx^2)/2a. Vx being the final velocity, a being the accln due to friction. Now I apply the conservation of energy theorem 0.5mVo^2=0.5mVx^2+0.5I(Vx/R)^2+ma(Vo^2-Vx^2)/2a after solving this equation I get...

    A very annoying current electricity problem

    Homework Statement A battery has an emf=6V. The battery is connected in series with an ammeter and a voltmeter. If a certain resistor is connected in parallel with the voltmeter reading decreases by a factor of 3, and the ammeter reading increases by a factor of 3. What is the INITIAL READING...

    How to Calculate When a Bowling Ball Will Begin to Roll Without Sliding

    I tried to take into account of the friction but I got (sqrt5)/3.

    Solving for Displacement in Frictionless Plane

    from what I know we use Asin(wt) when u start counting ur time from the equilibrium position while Acos(wt) for time starting from the amplitude of the SHM. U don't need to worry about phase constant here since the system is starting from its mean(equilibrium position).

    Solving for Displacement in Frictionless Plane

    first of all, I think it should be an inelastic collision. If it is so, Then as u have done above u can find the v of the system. This will be vmax. Hence equate the total kinetic energy of the system with the with the total potential energy 0.5 *k *x^2. The x u will get now is the ampitude. W u...

    SHM: Why do Both Masses Have Same Periods?

    it is not that the "same spring will have different spring constant", but different length of the same spring will have different spring constant. Suppose u have one string of 1 m and k=1. so if u break it like 2/3 from say right. Then the spring constant of the right spring will be 3k/2 will...

    Non-constant index of refraction due to layered material.

    APhO 2004 problem 2. It is similar to this one. Look at the solution there.
