    How does antenna transmits electromagnetic waves?

    I'd like to ask a related question. I understand that the transmitter outputs a voltage as a function of time (which creates an electric field) thus causing a flow of charge or current (creating the magnetic field) and these two fields travel down the antenna, but why don't they stop once they...

    Why Does Tcos(20) Equal umg in a Sledge Problem?

    Hi again all. Thank you for all the help! I'll have to have a talking with my TA. I thought I was going crazy for a little bit there :-p Now forgive me but as you've probably notice I'm not really good at this stuff but this is how I proceeded. I made n = mg - Tsin20. My equation for the...

    Why Does Tcos(20) Equal umg in a Sledge Problem?

    Yes that is what I got. In the vertical direction I came up with n + Tsin20 - mg = 0 so n + Tsin20 = mg or n = mg - Tsin20. But then I can't find the normal force because I don't know T. But the solution just shows Tcos20 = umg (again u = coeff of kinetic friction) Which I can't seem to be...

    Calculating Velocity using Hooke's Law: A Simple Question

    So if the force isn't constant I have to find the work done by each force then add or subtract them to get the net work? Otherwise if the force is constant I can use the method I tried using in which I just find the net force and then multiply by the distance to find the work right?

    Calculating Velocity using Hooke's Law: A Simple Question

    Hi again, all. I thought of another question that I need help with. Again I have the answer but I'm not sure how they got to it. The question is: A 1.6kg block is supported on a horizontal surface. The block is attached to a sping with k = 1000 N/m. The block compresses the spring x = 0.02 m...

    Why Does Tcos(20) Equal umg in a Sledge Problem?

    Hi all, I was hoping for a little help with this problem. I already have the solution but I don't understand how they got the answer. The question is: 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 at 20.0° above the...
