Of course that's what I want to do. But does Resnick and Halladay have a decent set of problems? I have 3000 Solved problems in physics but some of the questions are not related what I've learned..

Hi, I was just wondering if someone can suggest an undergrad textbook which will help me understand SHM, Wave motion, interference and superposition, both mathematically and conceptually. I am having a hard time in my first year second semester course which is focused only on the topics listed...

I don't know how old this thread is but can someone give me the Canadian universities that offer programs in Computational Physics or Computational Mathematics? Thank you.

Would Barrons College Review in AP Physics work? Also would 3000 solved problems in Physics be a good book to use as practice or are they elementary problems?

46views not a single reply?! c'mon someone.

Hi. I am a physics major although I am having a hard time getting good marks in teh first semester of my first year. I just wanted any suggestions from peers and any senior students if there are any books out there which I can use as a physics major to understand concepts thoroughly and has a...

Hi. I have a question to ask the countless physics students on this forum. I just completed my gr 12 physics course (SPH 4U) and I absolutely loved it! The teacher was awesome, he had so much passion for the subject and he would go out of his way to tell us about how he majored in physics...

Have no idea what you just said. Actually, I don't have any idea what anyone has explained. Please just show me how you would do it... I spent a whole day on this, none of my peers knew it...

Thats what I am trying to do. I got Ftx = FN when I isolated 47kg block, since a = 0 in x direction. But am I suppose to assume that Fg = Fty + Ff? Then that would mean the acceleration in y direction is 0 which totally kill the purpose of finding the acceleration of the system. But If I say...

But tension is not known and neither is acceleration. You said that I should do Ft - Ff = ma but I don't know two of the variables.

I didn't understand the second part of your answer about the bottom block. And first, you have to find the acceleration and then the tension. My teacher said somehow the tension force from 40 kg block cancels the tension from 47 kg block when you look at the whole thing as a system. but I don't...

Homework Statement Basically, one must find the acceleration of the system as well as the tension within the strings. http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/6108/physicsyx7.th.jpg Homework Equations EF = ma Ff = muFn Also the angle between the string and the top of the block is 78 degrees. The...

AcceleratioN?? How does he accelerate? Do you mean that he decelerates as he lands on the trampoline and his V = 0?

Two words. You're a Genius. Wait that's three. But I want to know why I can't find the k value the way I did. I used Fg/x to find K. Can you tell me what I did wrong?

mgh1 = 0.5kx2^2 but how do i find K? I tried Fg/x which is 588 N/m. I don't know if that is correct tho Caz using that K value, I get a final answer of 6.3 m which is not even close to the answer at the back. Maybe the answer at the back is wrong?
