    Two Superposed Vibrations of Equal Frequency

    Start by assuming the 0.25mm wave is fully dispacing the particle, so its moving it 0.25mm from equilibrium position. the difference between the first and the second is 45 degrees so it will effect it as per the phase its in at that time.

    How Does Projectile Angle Affect Range and Height?

    you havnt said your ideas about the question... whether you need to take into account air resistance or the mass of the object... so essentially it could be a mass less projectile in a vacuum crusing along until the end of the universe? lol...

    Solve Projectile Motion with Head/Tail Wind - Help Needed!

    I have no idea about quantifying miles because I am an aussie and we use metres and I am 18 so i wasnt around when they had miles... in the x direction you have an initial velocity of 110*cos45 essentially the only thing that will stop it in terms of x wil be drag so (110cos45) - air drag...

    Confusion on Potential Changes in Electric Fields

    This formula is more quantifying the KE, so i wouldn't use it to figure out your answer. Consider what potential is, its the potential to do something. If an electron is traveling at a high velocity you need to put more energy into it to make it go faster (if that energy is a magnetic field or...

    Aerodynamics - Standard Atmosphere problem

    I would assign a random value for displacement - say 100m, you can use resources to find the values for temp and pressure etc at that height and then sub that into your formula for point 2, to either check or to help solve...

    What was the i-component of the wind velocity vector?

    My inturpretation of the question is that he has to fly 20 degrees east of north to correct for wind. If the plane is traveling at 330 km/h for 2.266 h then the distance travled = 330*2.266 = 747.78km but the initial distance before the wind was 800, and we know there is an angle of 20...

    Tricky relfection/absorbtion optics question

    I have the following question: A disabled tanker leaks kerosene (n = 1.20) into the Persian Gulf creating a large slick on the top of the water (n = 1.30). a) If you looking straight down from an aeroplane, while the sun is overhead, at a region of the slick where the thickness is 460...

    Hall Voltage Effect: Calculating Potential Difference

    Hey I am having trouble with the following question. Because blood contains charged ions moving blood develops a Hall voltage across the diameter of an artery. The blood in a large artery with a diameter of 0.85 cm has a flow speed of 0.6 m/s. If a section of this artery is in a magnetic...
