AI Thread Summary
The equation for net force (Fnet) is derived from the sum of forces in both the x and y directions, expressed as Fnet = √(EFx² + EFy²). EFx represents the total of all forces acting in the x direction, while EFy represents the total of all forces in the y direction. The discussion highlights the importance of using the Pythagorean theorem to correctly calculate the net force. An initial error was noted regarding the squaring of Fnet itself, which was clarified later. Understanding these components is essential for accurately determining net force in physics.

Fnet = m x a
 
equation for Fnet

Fnet=EFx(squared)+ EFy(squared)

EFx= the sum of all forces in the x
EFy= the sum of all forces in the y

I'm afraid this is wrong. Fnet too had to be squared. (Pythagoras Theorem)
 
i forgot to put that its the square root of EFx(squares) + EF(squared)
oops :smile:
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
I am attempting to use a Raman TruScan with a 785 nm laser to read a material for identification purposes. The material causes too much fluorescence and doesn’t not produce a good signal. However another lab is able to produce a good signal consistently using the same Raman model and sample material. What would be the reason for the different results between instruments?
