Oh duh. Sorry, I guess I was just really tired last night. ;) Anyway thanks for the help.

Okay, I thought maybe that's what you meant, but I'm sorry I don't see what good that does if I don't know what k is. Maybe I'm just slow tonight as I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night and am rather tired... Sorry. [zz)] Ah well, it was due at midnight. So I'll just ask my teacher...

eh... P from above what? P is not constant.

so what is the proper formula? The textbook goes through a proof of why PV^y is constanst, but doesn't really go any further from that... I'm guessing that's somehow incorperated into the formula...

I've been struggling with this problem for an hour or so now, and can't seem to find the right answer. Perhaps someone here can help? I would be very grateful. ;) Two moles of an ideal gas ( = 1.40) expands slowly and adiabatically from a pressure of 5.09 atm and a volume of 12.7 L to a...

Thanks I knew it had something to do with that formula, and I figured it out. change in time = d/v1 - d/v2. :)

It seems to me that this is just a simple algebra problem, that doesn't have much to do with waves, but it's the only problem on the homework that I can't figure out. :-/ I know there's an easy solution to it, but I keep getting the wrong answer. Anyway, here it goes: A seismographic station...

Well that's what I said. I figured it out though. I remembered that you have to use tangent. Thanks though. :)

Okay, I have this problem I've been fighting with for a couple of hours now. I have the answers for it, but I can't figure out how they're the answers. Here's the problem: A sledge loaded with bricks has a total mass of 18.0 kg and is pulled at constant speed by a rope. The rope is inclined...

Okay, well I've been working on this assignment forever now, and I have it all correct, but one last bit. Here's the problem. Two blocks connected by a rope of negligible mass are being dragged by a horizontal force F. Suppose that F = 66.0 N, m1 = 10.0 kg, m2 = 20.0 kg, and the coefficient...

eh... I posted my question in the wrong section and they moved it here. I'm actually in Engineering Physics I in college, but I guess it doesn't matter where the question is if I get help.

I believe that I was late the day my instructor explained this type of problem in class, and my textbook is worthless, so I thought I would give this a shot. It's just a tension problem, but I don't know for sure how to do it. A 9.00 kg handing weight is connected by a string over a pulley to...
