    Loop Outside
AI Thread Summary
An object starts at rest at the top of a loop with a radius of 10 cm and slides down the outside. It will eventually separate from the loop and land a certain distance, denoted as x, from the loop. To solve for x, equations of motion and conservation of energy can be applied. The discussion emphasizes the need for initial problem-solving effort before seeking assistance. The user has indicated they have made progress in solving the problem.

1. An object is at rest at the TOP of the OUTSIDE of a loop. The radius of the loop is 10 cm. It begins to slide along the outside of the loop. It will obviously separate from the loop and then it lands x distance from the loop. What is x?
2. Equations of motion and conservation of energy equations may be used. Other equations may be used as well.
3. I do not know where to go from here.

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 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
