    Does heat affect the mass of an object?

    yes, that sort of makes sense, I was thinking maybe it doesn't increase the mass, but the weight? Also maybe something to do with conduction waves... I'm not sure, he's supposed to tell us the next time we meet for class but it's just itching at me I want to know why

    Does heat affect the mass of an object?

    Recently our Physics teacher did a demo with us on anodes and cathodes to determine the electric charge on an electron. During a certain part of the demo, he had to dry the copper cathode to determine the difference in weight. He then told us it was very important tat he waited until the copper...

    How Do You Calculate the Force Constant of a Spring?

    I'm sorry, I wasn't aware there was a emplate, I'm using my phone and the whole page isn't loading. I have found the answer to the problem, my mistake was not converting from centimeters to meters before hand. Thank you for replying though and I will get on my computer to see how the template is

    Struggling in Physics Class: Seeking Help and Resources

    My name is Michelle, I am in the beginning physics class at Butte College in Oroville, Ca, USA. Unfrtunately my teacher isn't a very good teacher, doesn't give us relevant homework, and does poorly at explaining topics that i feel should be really easy. Hes even goten stumped n his own homework...

    How Do You Calculate the Force Constant of a Spring?

    I'm jut not sure how to solve this problem in general, I tried a couple ways, but I keep getting wrong answers and I only have 2 attempts left. Please give me a direction to go in! A spring is 17.1cm long when it is lying on a table. One end is then attached to a hook and the other end is...
