    What is the wavelength of the sound wave?

    Here's the problem: Two speaks side by side are separated by 1 meter. If the sound intensity is found to reach its first maximum when someone stands 1.0 meter directly in front of one of the speakers ( ie. perpendicular to the line between the speakers) what is the wavelength of the sound...

    What is the Formula for Newton's Law of Cooling?

    I am stumped on one question out of twenty on my lab report. T = T0e-kt + Troom When T = 0 what is the value of e to the negative kt

    How far apart are two electrons in an electric field?

    No they didn't give me the radius of the earth. I gave you the entire problem.

    How far apart are two electrons in an electric field?

    1. An electron with a speed of 3.0 x 106 m/s moves into a uniform electric field of 1000 N/C. The field is parallel to the electron's motion. How far does the electron travel before it is brought to rest. I read the part of the text related to electric fields but I saw nothing that related...

    Free body diagram Homework Problem

    Can someone please help with this problem. I'm lost! 1. A 150 kg bear walks out onto a beam as illustrated in Fig P8.20 trying to get to a picnic basket with mass 10kg. The beam is 6m long and has mass 40kg (you can consider its weight to be concentrated at a point 3m from the wall. (a)...

    How fast must a Puma leave to ground to go 12 feet high?

    This seems like an easy problem but without "time" i"m confused. The best leaper is a Puma that can jump to a height of 12 feet when leaving the ground at a 45 degree angle. With what speed in SI units must the Puma leave the ground to reach this height? I'm not sure what formula to apply...

    Calculating Resultant Displacement in a Cave: A Trigonometry Problem

    Thanks for your help so far. I feel really dumb so please be patient with me. Ok, I took 250/75 and got the inverse tangent of 73.3 degrees. Then I took the sin of 73.3 degrees (.9578) and divided 250 by .9578 to get vector quantity of 261. Is this correct so far?

    Calculating Resultant Displacement in a Cave: A Trigonometry Problem

    Yes. We are currently doing projectile motion, but of course I am having trouble. I'm a Bio major with a 3.8 index. I think I just need to be pointed in the right direction (no pun intended). I need to get the appropriate vector neurons to start firing.

    Calculating Resultant Displacement in a Cave: A Trigonometry Problem

    Here's the problem: While exploring a cave a student starts at the entrance and moves the following distances. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 125 m at an angle 30.0 degrees north of east, and 150 m south. Find the resultant displacement from the cave entrance. I drew a diagram to...
