Magnitude of the acceleration of the fly

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on demonstrating that the magnitude of the acceleration of a fly moving in a helical path is constant when certain parameters are held constant. Participants emphasize the importance of clearly presenting mathematical work for better readability and engagement. There are suggestions to use LaTeX for formatting equations and to correct errors in the initial equation provided. The conversation highlights the need for precision in mathematical expressions to facilitate understanding. Overall, the thread aims to clarify the conditions under which the fly's acceleration remains constant.

I can't see anything there that looks like an answer.
 
@syamsul andry -- Welcome to the PF.

It is much better to type your work into the forum window. It makes it easier for us to read, and it let's us use the "Quote" and "Reply" features when we want to highlight part of your work.

You can use the math symbols under the sigma symbol ∑ at the top of the reply window, and you can learn how to type math equations using LaTeX in the tutorial under INFO, Help/How-To at the top of the page. Thanks. :smile:
 
There is not a factor "2" between ##\vec(j)## and the cos. You forgot the square in the sinus and the cosinis as well...
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
