    Estimate Decay Coefficient in Ae^-at Graph

    This is right for the first 'period'. If these are experimental data, you may take a mean value over all possible differences.

    What is the coefficient of friction in this inclined plane problem?

    ##T_i=10\,N## and ##a_i=0## when system not move. When system rolling, ##a_1=a_2## Now you can see the forces to ##m_2##.

    Energy of a Capacitor: Basics & Explanation

    ##C## is an empirical parameter for any device. Try to add small charges ##\delta{q}## to a device that ##V## depends linearely to ##Q## inside, like a common capacitor. Adding total energy you can see a Gaus's summation that provide a factor 1/2.

    B Adiabatic or Isobaric process?

    This is a non-quasistatic processes. I think that the only we can say is: ##U_1 = p_1V_1 = nRT_1## ##U_2 = p_2V_2 = nRT_2 = nRT_1 + W_{ext}## but we have no quasistatic processes to calculate ##W_{ext}##

    Roller Coaster Physics: How to Calculate Maximum Velocity on a Horizontal Plane

    Why problem ask for the maximum velocity on C? Can be less? Why? Which word we use 3 times on these questions?

    Why Does the Shape of a Container Not Affect Fluid Pressure Calculations?

    Flat and curved surfaces can calculated by the same way as ## \delta{F} = p\,\delta{A} ## with ##\delta{A}\to0##. This is distributed load force and container is rigid body.

    Why Does the Shape of a Container Not Affect Fluid Pressure Calculations?

    How can we describe the force by liquid to one specific point? This is not single point mechanics.

    Sum of area bounded by the curve

    What does "area" exactly mean? Area for me is the paper amount that need painting and for this reason I take right hand result. But the integral have sign and is the left hand result.

    Why Does My Snell's Law Demonstration Fail Using a Linear Function Approach?

    You are right. May be better a simpler geometry. Let ##A(x_1,y_1)## and ##B(x_2,y_2)## the end points and ##O(x,0)## the point than we need. Write the total time and take derivation ##d/dx(t)=0##.

    Sum of area bounded by the curve

    Yes, is not correct but when we don't explain what we do, some people thinks that may be correct for some reason. For example, I don't know what is LHS or RHS. Is something like KGB to me.

    Sum of area bounded by the curve

    $$\int_0^{2π} sin(x)\,dx = 2 \int_0^π sin(x)\,dx$$ may used on cases than something change on ##\pi## value. Generally is zero. Please, place the foul problem.

    What Are the Standard Enthalpy and Entropy Changes for the Graphed Reaction?

    Multiple choice them may not need calculations. If (1) and (2) works together what can be the only possibility?
