    Magnetic Field affect on charges

    Alright, I know what will happen to an electrical charge in a magnetic field, what I'm a bit fuzzy on is why it happens, I don't recall my teacher going over it at all in class, can anyone clarify why magnetic fields cause perpendicular motion?

    Fish Pond Population Growth: Is a Constant?

    t is time in years, sorry, and I solved a for the first part to be 52.869, and from what your saying, p doesn't stay the initial population, it changes as soon as t is greater than 0, therefore, I solve for t, with p equal to 52868.5 aaaand I'm just restating everything you just said, but in...

    Fish Pond Population Growth: Is a Constant?

    Apologies for not being clear enough yesterday, and not getting back until now. e is a constant on our calculators, stated as 2.718281828, and the problem is in the attachment,http://img14.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img14&image=fishpond0ux.jpg if I did it right. The question: (a) Given you stock the...

    Fish Pond Population Growth: Is a Constant?

    Alright, my teacher the sadist gave us an assignment over the holidays, and so far, everyone in my class has gotten all but this. The equation is representative of the population growth of fish in a fish pond. p= m / 1+ae to the -kt p is the intial population, m the carrying capacity...

    I am in 8th grade and I am stuck on a simple physics question

    Use scientific notation, which still requires you to round, but leaving that zero there, it's still significant, because it's not behind a decimal. The correct answer is 8.09 x 10 to the third.

    What is the acceleration due to gravity on Ganymede?

    yeah, that's more reasonable than 0.27, Ganymede is a moon, not an asteroid, and yeah, that's right, it's real easy once you get the hang of it.

    What is the acceleration due to gravity on Ganymede?

    Fg is measured in N, and then you need to manipulate the equation so g is isolated. Does that help?

    Calculate Friction Coefficient Using Pulleys and Mass

    Oops, forgot to mention that the system BEGINS at rest and then the suspended mass is released, hence the acceleration...wow, I feel dumber already! :rolleyes: Acceleration was 0.6525 m/s(squared)

    Calculate Friction Coefficient Using Pulleys and Mass

    Alright, I know I have this stuff somewhere at school, but unfortunately, I can't leave it till tom. A mass is at rest on a horizontal plane, and is attached by a second mass that is threaded through a pulley and is suspended in the air. What is the coefficient of friction? The formula...

    Solve Checkers Problem: 8x8 Board, 7 Moves, Many Paths

    All right...I've been at this all night, and any help whatsoever would be appreciated! Problem- An eight by eight square game board for checkers has a checker positioned in the fourth square of the bottom row. The checker is allowed to move one square at a time diagonally left or right to...
