    Number Density and pressure

    Is the moles the number density divided by Avogadro's number? And how do i get the volume? I can't use the ideal gas law since i don't have temperature.

    Number Density and pressure

    Homework Statement The number density in a container of argon gas is 2.00 X 10^25. The atoms are moving with an rms speed of 455 m/s. What is the pressure inside the container? Homework Equations V rms = sqrt( (3)(k)(T) / m) P = F/A = (1/3)(N/V)(m)(v^2 rms) The Attempt at a...

    Solving Circuit with Mesh Analysis

    i3 is simply equal to 1 amp. There is no need for a loop equation for Loop(i3). This also makes the problem easier to solve.

    Max Tension Force for Box Not to Slip: 24.5N

    Homework Statement A horizontal rope pulls a 10kg wood sled across frictionless snow. A 5.0kg wood box rides on the sled. The coefficient of static friction for wood on wood is mu = 0.5. What is the largest tension force for which the box doesn't slip? Homework Equations f(static) =...

    What is the explanation for the varying weight readings in an elevator going up?

    Homework Statement You've always wondered about the acceleration of the elevators in the 101-story-tall Empire State Building. One day, while visiting New York, you take your bathroom scale into the elevator and stand on it. The scale reads 150 lbs as the door closes. The reading varies...

    Distance Travelled by Doubled Mass Block with Unchanged V0

    There is no friction invloved. What i typed, is exactly, and everything the problems gives. Their not looking for a numerical answer. Something like 0.5d or 0.25d or something.

    Distance Travelled by Doubled Mass Block with Unchanged V0

    Homework Statement A block pushed along the floor with velocity V0 slides a distance D after the pushing force is removed. If the mass of the block is doubled but its initial velocity is not changed, what distance does the block slide before stopping? Express your answer in terms of D...

    Solve Trajectory Motion Homework: Find t, Drop Apple to Pierce Arrow

    Ah, it finally makes sense. Thanks for your reply, it really helped. On part b i left out part of the question on accident. It said that "Suppose someone drops an apple from a vertical distance of 6.0 meters, directly above the point where the arrow hits the tree." How long after the...

    Solve Trajectory Motion Homework: Find t, Drop Apple to Pierce Arrow

    Thanks for your response,but I still can't get it. With the equation x = Vcos(theda)t there is 2 unknowns, time and velocity. I don't understand how to manipulate the equation so my info fits. Thanks for your time.
