    Why Is Choosing the Right Gaussian Surface Crucial in Gauss' Law Calculations?

    Homework Statement I know D . n(hat)dS =Qencl I do not really have problems with the dS or Qencl but I do not really know why they choose the gaussian surfaces. Like on the second page where z> pi/2 It seems to me that one would go from (pi/2) to z but won't z effectively just be...

    Engineering Basic Circuit Homework: Is Vx Connected?

    Homework Statement [PLAIN]http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/1456/pforum.png Is the Vx in this connected to the 14[V] source and the 3.9 [kΩ]? I basically just want to look at it like a voltage source but I think it is incorrect. I mean can it still be considered a closed loop? :redface:

    Solving Two Lens System: O1, F1, F2, i2, M

    -(1/f) - (1/O) = (1/i) -(1/6.5) -(1/9.6) = 1/i = 0.258 i1 = -3.87 :redface: d = 13 cm o2 = d - i1 o2 = 13 +3.875 o2 = 16.875 cm 1/i2 = (1/f) - (1/o2) 1/0.07587 = (1/7.4) - (1/16.875) i2 = 13.179 Thank you both :smile:

    Chemistry Moles of solute particles are present in 5.07 mL of 0.688 M

    No, it was simply marked incorrect so I am unsure of the actual answer. I just looked up osmolarity after you mentioned it. My book unfortunately neglected it :(. This is the first encounter with it so I was not sure if the method of obtaining it was correct. "the osmolarity of a simple...

    Stuck in a Lab Course - Should I Drop or Settle for a C?

    Basically I am taking the lab concurrently with the class, unfortunately we learn how to do the lab a few weeks after we do it so its becoming quite depressing. I could probably slide out of it with a B or C and get absolutely nothing out of it. I should have waited to take it butI didnt realize...

    Constant Acceleration one dimension

    Hm, So... c) Vo = 100m/s v(t) = -10t + 100m/s 0 -100/-10 = t t = 10 s x(10) = -500 + 1000 = 500m d) = 20 s?
