sorry, i don't know what that means. Terrible at physics...

Homework Statement The displacement (in meters) of a wave is y = 0.13 sin(t - 3.82x), where t is in seconds and X is in meters. (a) Is this wave traveling in the +x or -x direction? 1.+x direction. 2.-x direction (b) What is the displacement y when t = 26.5 s and x = 6.4 m...

yea i got 10.76. Its not right...

ok. so i set the to two pressures equal to each other so i got P(oil)=P(mercury) (.91)(980)h = (980)(.72)(13.6) solved for h, and provided my answer in cm but its not right :\

Homework Statement A manometer using oil (density 0.91 g/cm3) as a fluid is connected to an air tank. Suddenly the pressure in the tank increases by 0.72 cm of Hg. (a) By how much does the fluid level rise in the side of the manometer that is open to the atmosphere? (b) What would your...

OMG THANKYOU. That did the trick. They wanted us to use density of 1024 for water in a previous problem so i was still using that. Thanks for all your help!

ok that's what i was thinking. So i did .262/9.8 to get the mass as .0267. Then I divided this by the volume (3.87 × 10-5 m3 ) to get the density of alcohol. Then i divided that density by the density of water (1024), to find the specific gravity. ...its not correct...:(

so shouldn't that just mean that I should be able to use .0773 kg / 3.87 × 10-5 m3 to get the density of alcohol??

hmm. so i do i subtract out the mass of the aluminum cylinder (.104) from the apparent wieght in alcohol and then use the new mass in my calculation (m/v)/density of water?

ok...soooo since weight = m x g do i divide by 9.8? sorry I am retarded when it comes to conversions...

Thanks cepheid...that makes sense. I had totally forgotten the density = m/v formula. I have another question that has been troubling me regarding specific gravity... An aluminum cylinder weighs 1.02 N. When this same cylinder is completely submerged in alcohol, the volume of the displaced...

@Sean -Ahhh that works perfectly. I have no idea what i did tho. lol

Homework Statement Accomplished silver workers in India can pound silver into incredibly thin sheets, as thin as 3.00x10-7 m (about one hundredth of the thickness of this sheet of paper). Find the area of such a sheet can be formed from 1.39kg of silver? (For the density of silver use the...

Homework Statement The rotational inertia for a diver in a pike position is about 15.5 kg m2; it is only 8.0 kg m2 in a tucked position (the figure above). (a) If the diver gives himself an initial angular momentum of 106 kg m2/s as he jumps off the board, how many turns can he make when...

Ok so I used 1/2Mr^2 for inertia.. and did the same thing as before and got 5666.367 still wrong... uhhhhhh!

Thanks a bunch!

Ok so i found the moment of inertia of a solid to be 2/5mr2. Used that in the eqn to solve for angular velocity. Then I multiplied that number by 2pie n divided by 60 to get 6330.554 rev/min. This is wrong too! :/

Homework Statement A flywheel is a solid disk that rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the disk and its center. Rotating flywheels provide a means for storing energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy and are being considered as a possible alternative to batteries in electric...

I tried doing it both ways. I am so confused as to which formula to use. But i believe i know how to find moment of inertia. I used the formula I =mr2 and then multiplied that with acceleration n still got the wrong answer...

that gives me an angular accelration of .580 using that to find Torque: T = F (r) = MA (r) =.26 *.589 8.154 =.023? ahhhhh what am i doing wrong?? :(

yea I am still not getting the right answer for torque...

SOoo... 10.682= 0 + 2*ang acc * .308 m 114= .616angaccl 185.06=ang accl?

1.72 rev= 10.68rad Im confused..? The problem says that final speed should b 1.72 n ur right about the initial speed.

Already tried that. I got 10.682=3.522+ 2*angaccel*193.5 (multiplying diameter by 2pie) solving for ang accelration, i got ...26.25 ...which is wrong...

yup that was a typo. sooo what ur saying is..in order to find Torque: Torque = Tsin 35(2.38) - [80(1.5) + 120(3)] 480 = T sin 35(2.38) T = 350! Thankyou!

ummm... I multiplied the diameter (after converting into m) by 2 pie, in order to get theta. then i solved for angular acceleration in order to find torque in the eqn: Torque = Impulse * angular acceleration. however this didn work for me either... sooo I am lost...

you are right. I found the eqn : w=ang velocity @-ang accelration theta - angle w2f = wi2 + 2@theta. how do i find theta?

Homework Statement A sign is supported by a uniform horizontal boom of length 3.00 m and weight 80.0 N. A cable, inclined at an angle of 35 with the boom, is attached at a distance of 2.38 m from the hinge in the wall (see figure below). The weight of the sign is 120 N. What is the tension...

Homework Statement An LP turntable must spin at 3.52 rad/s to play a record. How much torque must the motor deliver if the turntable is to reach its final angular speed in 1.7 revolutions, starting from rest? The turntable is a uniform disk of diameter 30.8 cm and mass 0.26 kg. Homework...

yea i tried it again. still no success. I think i give up now.

I should say the length of the distance from the satellite to the planet... not the length of orbit...

well i assumed since we don't know the gravity of that planet the length of the orbit would be equal to the G. However, I am still not able to get the right answer using either method...

ahhh i still didn't get the right answer..? maybe I am just doing my arithmatic wrong. but why would gravity = 6.67?

Please help asap! Orbital speed Homework Statement A satellite is placed in orbit 5.19x105m above the surface of Jupiter. Jupiter has a mass of 1.90x1027kg and a radius of 7.14x107m. Find the orbital speed of the satellite. Answer = m/s Homework Equations v = sqrt [GM/r]...

yea the definition for acp=r w2 so i got .026m * (25.132rad/sec)2 = 16.422 then i divided that number by 9.8...it didn't work :( any ideas??

So i did v2/r and I divided that number by 9.8 since it asks for a multiple of G. I did not get the answer. I also do not understand why you say it should be centripedal and not centrifugal

Homework Statement How many meters above the ground would a person ( 188.3 lb ) have to climb to gain 3 kilojoules ( 3000 joules ) of potential energy. We usually measure our weight ( W = mg ) in pounds. For conversions, you may need to know that 1 pound is equal to 4.448 Newtons...

Thankyou so much! This was such a help to say the least

Your numbers worked out perfectly. I don't understand where i am going wrong, because i am not getting your numbers. can you do a step by step please? id really appreciate it.

nevermind...got it

Im sorry, I don't understand. I am a beginner at physics and don't have a good basis. Was I on the right track. If not, can you demonstrate what ur saying

Sorry, my typo, I meant to say i got avg velocity by using the above equation. I got acceleration by using vf - vo/t. Using that info, i plugged it into P = FV (avg V)
