    Convert Rectangular Motion to Rotary Motion - Dan

    I know its probably an incredibly simple question... but its not straight linear motion but rectangular motion. Imagine a crank on a wheel but rather than a circle its a rectangle... and it moves along the rectangular path.

    Convert Rectangular Motion to Rotary Motion - Dan

    In many ways I am unsure of the question that is in my head... but I would assume that there are others out there who understand the need to ask whilst the problem is still fuzzy. I need some direction: how can I convert a rectangular motion into a rotary motion? Is this even possible? Those...

    Proton Acceleration - Do you Agree?

    A proton, initially at rest, is accelerated from plate A to plate B, and acquires 1.92 * 10-17 J of kinetic energy. i. Which plate is positive and which is negative? ii. What is the potential difference? iii. Sketch the correct direction of E between the plates. Does the proton move with...

    Calculating Velocity of Identical Charges with Fixed Distance: 3877 m/s

    Oh Thank You! Brain malfunction .. too long looking at the same problem. Very much appreciated! I can't believe the incredibly quick response. I will highly reccomend this site. All the best!

    Calculating Velocity of Identical Charges with Fixed Distance: 3877 m/s

    I apologize for my daftness but that does not yield the velocity when they are 30 cm apart.

    Calculating Velocity of Identical Charges with Fixed Distance: 3877 m/s

    I've been able to solve this problem for a large distance between the two charges.. in that case the potential difference is zero so I was able to get this: deltaK + deltaU = 0 1/2mv^2 + 1/2mv^2 - 0 + Q(0-V) = 0 or mv^2 = Q(kQ/r) = kQ^2/r (1.0 * 10^-6kg)v^2 = (9 *...

    Calculating Velocity of Identical Charges with Fixed Distance: 3877 m/s

    First of all I've read the sticky and I am not trying to get somebody to do my homework. I have been working on this problem for the last two weeks and have the piles of paper to prove it. Here is my problem: Two identical 7.5u-c charges start from rest and are initially spaced 5.5 cm from...
