    Teeth double reflection in mirrors

    Hello, guys! Yesterday I saw my reflection in a mirror and noticed that my teeth had two images on the mirror, and the rest of my face did not. I tried in different mirrors, and the result was the same. At first, I thought it could be the effect of two surfaces of the mirror, and in that case...

    Work done on capacitors and more

    Ohh, I got it! (1) Initial capacitance: 0A/d When we introduce the conductor, each of the "two capacitors" will have capacitance = 3\epsilon0A/d. Since I can assume the "two capacitors" are arranged in series, Final capacitance = Capacitance/2. So, final capacitance will be...

    How Long Does It Take for a Mass to Reach Maximum Height on Dual Springs?

    Hello again, guys! I did some research, and I found one exercise very similar to this one on Halliday's book(4th edition, vol. 2, chapter 14). Turns out that, when you have two springs that are exactly the same on a body on simple harmonic motion, the formula for the frequency is...

    How Long Does It Take for a Mass to Reach Maximum Height on Dual Springs?

    Yeah, I got that, thanks a lot for the help so far! But I was thinking...If the springs had different constants, how could this problem be solved? I guess I can't use simple harmonic motion in this case, right? Thanks again ^^

    How Long Does It Take for a Mass to Reach Maximum Height on Dual Springs?

    If we assume the springs are arranged in parallel, we find 0,45 as an answer. K = 12.25 + 12.25 = 24.5 T=2pi(0.5/24.5)^1/2=0.9 0.9/2=0.45

    How Long Does It Take for a Mass to Reach Maximum Height on Dual Springs?

    The fact that the ball is attached to two springs has no influence on the time period formula?

    How Long Does It Take for a Mass to Reach Maximum Height on Dual Springs?

    The time period will be T=2pi(m/k)^1/2. So, T=2pi(0.5/12.25)^1/2, T=1.2 s aproximatedly. The time for the ball to go up will be T/2, which is 0.6 s. But the official answer is 0.45 s. What have I done wrong? Thanks a lot.

    How Long Does It Take for a Mass to Reach Maximum Height on Dual Springs?

    Homework Statement Hello, guys! This problem is from exercise D, Q4 http://www.studyjapan.go.jp/pdf/questions/10/ga-phy.pdf" Consider two springs of negligible mass that have the same natural length (50 cm) and same spring constant. As shown in Figure 1 (view the link), the two srpings are...
