I would say B, C, and D. If the upward force of the parachute is greater in magnitude than F, then the new resultant force must point upward (and may be more or less than F). If the upward force of the parachute is equal and opposite F, then they must cancel out, and if the upward force is...

In the 2nd question, I definitely think it's D, because the force the rock exerts on your toe is equal in magnitude to the normal force the toe exerts on the rock which in turn is equal to the rock's weight, which is related to m by the constant g. In the 1st question, I am not as certain, but I...

The following passage is from Halliday Resnick Krane in Chapter 3 which is about dynamics in one dimension. "We can measure frictional forces. By placing the body on a horizontal surface where it experiences a frictional force, we could attach a spring and pull the body with just the right...

In the solution to the example problem, they wrote the following statement. “The least significant digit is the units digit, and so your weight is uncertain by about 1 pound. That is, your scale would read 119 lb for any weight between 118.5 and 119.5 lb.” I don’t understand why the scale...

Hi there! I am teaching the algebra- and calculus-based physics courses at my university. The courses are taught at different times but in parallel, and students from both courses share the same lab sections. I'd like to keep them on the same content schedule without jumping around the...

If each ball rises two meters, then the time is in the air is equal to around 1.28 seconds. After this, what am I supposed to do? I feel really stuck. If all of the balls are released at different times, how am I supposed to find the answer?

Homework Statement:: This is from 5 ed, Physics 1Halliday, Resnick, and Krane. page 428 about sound waves I have highlighted the equation that I don't understand. How did the author get it? I understand how they get from the middle side to the RHS of the equation, but I don't understand how...

Hello! This is a problem from Halliday Resnick Krane (Chapter 4: Problem #15). “A puck is moving in a circle of radius r0 with a constant speed v0 on a level frictionless table. A string is attached to the puck, which holds it in the circle; the string passes through a frictionless hole and is...

Hello! In Chapter 4 of Halliday Resnick Krane on Pg. 73, they write “the descending motion is much steeper than the ascending motion” when discussing how the trajectory of a projectile changes when we consider drag force. Why is this statement true?

As the force on a pulley is equal to twice the tension, I just have to find the tension to solve part A. To do so, I first wrote the equations for both m1 and m2. m1 * a = T - m1g m2 * a = T + N - m2g The tension must have the same values for both equations so I added both equations to find...

Homework Statement:: Not a homework problem. I need a conceptual explanation. Relevant Equations:: ##p_2 = p_1 + \rho g(y_1 - y_2)## (1) ## p = p_0 + \rho gh## (2) When deriving equation (1) we use the example of a submerged cylinder in static equilibrium with its top at position ##y_1## and...

I tried the second rocket equation vf = vi + v rel * ln(Mi/Mf) but it gives out approximately 4900 m/s for the answer but the answer is 4160 m/s

Is surface tension topic present is resnick halliday walker, principles of physics 10th edition,if present then please tell me on which page

A strategy I use when learning is to consult multiple books. It is great most of the time, but occasionally I find that there seems to be a contradiction between different books. For example, when proving the conservation of mechanical energy theorem, Tipler & Mosca claim that the total work of...

Hi, So I'm trying to self-study AP Physics C and found the first volume of Halliday/Resnick's Fundamentals of Physics on my parent's shelf, 3rd edition (from 1988). They also have the 2nd edition of University Physics, volume 2 (E&M). I do, however, have a copy online of the extended 10th...

Hey everyone! I have a course-book related question. I hope this is the correct thread. If not, please let me know. I want to prepare myself for our national physics olimpiad and I heard about a very useful book named Fundamentals of physics by David Halliday. We have the extended 5th edition...

Hello, what level of math should I have before learning this book?

I honestly don't like this text at all. Is there any other calc based physics textbook out there? I just got textbook from the library which is titled: Physics for scientists and engineers 1st edition Please if there's any book out there post it!

In Chapter 11, section 11-4, subsection friction and rolling, it is stated that the static frictional force is along the same direction as the direction of motion because the point of contact of the wheel with the floor is moving in the opposite direction. Then, in the next subsection, the same...

Resnick and Halliday have many physics books and they have more than 6 named fundamental of physics I don't know which one I should choose they have many editions for each book and they have the same name .

Hi I know eveyone buys Young University physics, and i think it's great for easy problem solving, a bit wordy but quite clear, however I like books that give a bit more insight into the reasoning and mathematical development and/or derivations of the theories, instead of just telling you "this...

Was wondering what is the difference between the 2nd and 3rd ed of Physics by Resnick and Halliday? I know for the most part, at least for mathbooks, the earlier edition the better, and that there is ussually few changes in newer edition. However, I already own the 2nd edition (Blue Cover) and...

I'm trying to get a Halliday and Resnick for me, but I don't know which one to get. http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?tn=Fundamentals+in+Physics+&sts=t&an=Halliday+and+Resnick This is where I'm looking, and I don't know if the first option is what I'm looking for or what. Thank you

Is Resnick Halliday's textbook "Principles of physics" a good book ? Is it useful for olympiads like IPhO (International Physics Olympiad) ? It would be good if somebody could give a review on the book ?

I am aware that all three of them are good ones. But, if one is to be picked, which one would it be? I have basic knowledge of mechanics and a little of thermodynamics. I am looking for a book which will further strengthen my basics.
