    Collisions: Understanding Conservation of Momentum

    Collisions..PLEASE HELP! Homework Statement (a) A nuclear reactor (see below) contains nuclei that fission when bombarded by slow neutrons. The fission reaction produces fast neutrons which need to be moderated (i.e. slowed down) in collisions before they can cause further fissions. In this...

    Calculating Potential Energy of a Roller Coaster System

    um i converted 135 feet in metres which gave me 41...nd oh don't worry i know why we use sin now, i drew the diagram wrong before, i made 135 feet the x-axis instead of the hypotenuse but yea the only thing that is worrying me know is why did we just do 41sin40 and left the 1000 out?

    Kinetic and work kinteic energy question HELP

    umm the main problem in this question i am getting is that how can i calculate work without force or force without work? i don't know how to find both of them out, like if 1 more unit number was given either work or force then i would have been able to solve it..

    Calculating Potential Energy of a Roller Coaster System

    hey umm i got the answer by doing this.. 41.148*sin40=259(which is the correct answer).. but i do not understand that why do we not multiply it by 1000 aswel? and when i drew the tri diagram..it came out that i should be using 41.148cos40 instead of sin..but i had to use sin to get the right...

    What is the Temperature of the Gas in State A?

    First, determine the volume at B and then the pressure at C. (Hint: use ideal gas law. Be careful about temp. scale). With that, you can determine the temperature at C, which is the same as the temperature at A. AM hi um i tried to do it as u advised, but i was not able to get the right...
