    Calculating Work Done in Lifting a Weight with a Spring

    Well, thanks for that kaworito...But I looked back from different options for the answer and I found your answer but without the negative sign. I think it is positive.

    Calculating the Lorentz Force of an Electron in Magnetic Field

    Your formula for the perpendicular component m \frac {v_perp}{r} doesn't match with mass x acceleration. How is that so?

    Calculating Forces on Ladder and Nail in 60-degree Angle

    Ok I'll try again. But it seems I already did what you said and didn't work. I think I am missing something here.

    Telescope Magnification: Calculating Linear Magnification and Magnifying Power

    There is a word linear magnification in physics in terms of optical instruments. It is a unitless number that is the ratio of the height of the image and the height of the object. Additionally, I think you are talking about the angular magnification of the telescope for the magnifying power...

    Calculating Forces on Ladder and Nail in 60-degree Angle

    A uniform ladder with a mass of 10 kg leans against a vertical, smooth wall making an angle of 60 degrees with a smooth floor as shown in diagram ( I provided the website: www.geocities.com/willydavidjr/ladder.html ) A nail in the floor keeps the ladder from slipping while a man...

    How Do You Solve Projectile Motion Problems Involving a Launched Ball?

    A ball is launched from the edge of a table which is 2.5 m high. The initial velocity of the ball is 5 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal or table. If the gravitational acceleration is 10 m/s^2 and value of cos 30 degrees is 0.86. a.)Calculate the flight time in seconds. b.)...

    Destructive Interference in Thin Film Interference

    Two oblong pieces of plane glass are separated from each other by a thin sheet of cellophane and held together with rubber bands, as shown in figure(I provided a website for the figure below), where the amount of separation is much exaggerated. If you place a "sodium vapor lam" vertically above...

    Conserv. of Momentum and Energy Question

    You mean I need to sum up the two initial kinetic energy and the two final kinetic energy and get their difference?

    What is the magnitude of velocity of the proton?

    A proton source injects H(+) ions at low speed. A beam of protons (each having a rest mass 1.67*10^-27 kg) is moving in a circle of radius 80.0 cm between 2 circular flat electromagnets. If these electromagnets supply a force of 8.00*10^-13 N on each proton directed toward the center of...

    Conserv. of Momentum and Energy Question

    But my question Dr. Brain is how can I compute for the ratio of the energy lost from the initial energy?:confused:

    Calculating Work Done by a Battery in a Circuit with a Resistor and Capacitor

    Techno you mean, if the energy in capacitor is 20 joules, the energy in the battery is 40 joules? Am I right?

    Calculating Work Done by a Battery in a Circuit with a Resistor and Capacitor

    energy=1/2q^2/c= 1/2C^2V... Can I ask, do you know what is the formula for the work done by the battery? Thanks.

    Calculating Current and Charge in a Capacitor Circuit

    I think the answer on number 5 is the same as in number 2. After the S2 is closed, the charge in Capacitor is still the same. We only need the capacitor value and the value of the battery, in short the answer is also 12 microCoulombs.

    Conserv. of Momentum and Energy Question

    There are really factors affecting on conservation of energy because some goes off on this factor. Maybe they are absorbed by friction or something else. There must be an exception on the problem.

    Ideal gas equation and heat problem

    That would be definitely constant. Because on V=(nR)(P/T), the only value we need to consider here is P and T because it will be assume that they have the same number of n and R is constant also.
