    Calculating k in Transposed Formula for Periodic Motion?

    Good work. You're only one step away. Remember that you want to find an equation k = ??. What if we multiply both sides by k, and then divide both sides by T^2?

    Calculating k in Transposed Formula for Periodic Motion?

    You see that your k is inside the square root. Maybe squaring both sides of the equation might help?

    Calculate Hang Time of 2D Projectile Motion - TS

    I know that, but how do we calculate that numerically? I presume that hang time is dependent on the y-component of the initial velocity? Thanks again.

    Calculate Hang Time of 2D Projectile Motion - TS

    Could someone kindly explain to me what hang time is, in the context of 2D projectile motion? Enlighten me on the equations of motion that might be applicable to such a problem. In other words, given a projectile launched at \theta$ above the horizontal with an initial velocity of v_0, how do...

    Solving Reflection of Light: P, Q, R Disappear Order

    Homework Statement Three objects P, Q, and R, are viewed through a plane mirror AB. When an obstacle is moved towards the mirror, which object "disappears" (i) first; (ii) last? Diagram. I will describe it in words. The mirror is horizontally placed. Q is placed 10 cm directly above edge...

    Electrolytic reduction of iron ore - Stoichiometry

    Homework Statement Calculate the maximum mass of aluminum that can be made from 408 tonnes of alumina, assuming that aluminum is produced by electrolysis. Homework Equations At the cathode: Al^{3+} (l) + 3e^{-} \Rightarrow Al (l). At the anode: O^{2-} (l) \Rightarrow O_2 (g) + 4e^{-}. Is...

    Electrostatics (conduction) and polarization.

    They are electrons. In metals, they are evenly and randomly distributed throughout the sphere since they are free to move? Delocalized electrons? I don't know. Please guide me on this.

    Electrostatics (conduction) and polarization.

    Homework Statement Describe how a metal sphere on an insulating stand is charged if a positively-charged rod were to touch the sphere. (This is a 5 mark problem, so at least 5 major points should be included in the answer. I am not sure whether I have fully answered the problem.) Homework...

    Reflection of spherical wave from plane

    Problem statement. A spherical wave (from a point source) reflects from a planar surface. Draw a ray diagram and sketch some wavefronts for the reflected wave. Attempt It is easy to sketch some wavefronts for the reflected waves; however, how is it possible to draw a ray diagram for...
