Homework Statement The correct answer is 20.3 kg, but I got 23.4 kg. What did I do wrong here? Please refer to part 3 for the problem question. Homework Equations Refer to part 3. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]

Homework Statement How do I know what value of m to use when using the equation? Here we had to use m = 1 to find the answer. Please refer to part 3 for the problem statement. Homework Equations Please refer to part 3 for the relevant equations. The Attempt at a Solution [/B]

<Moderator's note: Moved from a technical forum and thus no template.> I'm not sure how they got the extra (1/2)mv^2? My question is shown using pink font in the image below as well as my attempt.

I was watching a lecture on youtube about linear regression and there's a section where it had the statement below (written in purple). Does multiplying by sigma rotate the distribution to make it look like x - N(mew, sigma^2)? Mew in this case is 0 so it doesn't shift the distribution.

The electric field lines are longer for q1, and the magnitude is proportional to the distance. So the bigger the distance, the smaller the magnitude, as is the case with this sketch?

In general, the field lines points away from the positive charge and toward the negative charge. The answer is letter E, but the second part of the answer says, "the magnitude of q1 is less than the magnitude of q2". Is that because q1 is negative and q2 is positive?

Questions 1.) Here, the negative charge from the wool is transferred to the plastic rod. I'm curious as to what determines which object is responsible of transferring their charge to the other object. Like why didn't the plastic rod give its negative charge instead? 2.) If we rub 19 more...

Thanks, it made so much sense when I drew a picture.

Homework Statement I found an answer on the internet for this problem, but I'm not sure on one of the steps. The solution says, "Take ln of both sides to get rid of Ae. If we do that, then the right side will be ln(Ae^t/T). I don't see how using ln will get rid of Ae? Homework Equations Refer...

Homework Statement The question is in part 3 (image). Basically I used the formula for Period, T, of a pendulum of length L with free-fall acceleration g. I got 8.52, but I had to further divide this number by 4 to get the time the person must hang on in order to drop into the water at the...

Hey, I fixed it. It should let you to be able to download the image. I would post the image to the website but the image comes out to be low quality. It's better to download it. Thanks.

1. Homework Statement The first astronauts to visit Mars are each allowed to take along some personal items to remind them of home. One astronaut takes along a grandfather clock, which, on earth, has a pendulum that takes 1 second per swing, each swing corresponding to one tick of the clock...
