    Work Done on A Proton in an Electric Field

    W=-qEd =-(1.6*10^-19)(23)(0.75) = -2.76*10^-18 J However, the answer is 2.76*10^-18 J. Why is the word done positive and not negative? Since it's traveling in the same direction as the electric field, shouldn't it be negative work?

    How to Determine Whether to Accept or Reject a Hypothesis?

    Summary:: Confused on correction for contunuity I'm confused about one step for questions like this where you have to determine to accept or reject the null hypothesis. Sample size: 50 Number of successes: 23 Significance level: 10% Null hypothesis: p = 0.4 Accepted hypothesis: p > 0.4...

    B Stats: Determining significance level in problem

    Question: In finance, the strong form of the efficient market hypothesis states that studying financial information about stocks is a waste of time since all public and private information that might affect the stock price is already reflected in the price of the stock. However, a study of 450...

    Sig Figs: 10.00cm, 16.38cm, 29.10cm to 2 Decimal Places

    e.g. 10.00cm = 0.0010 m, 16.38cm = 0.1638 m, 29.10 cm = 0.2910 m Or, would the sig figs for the meters be to 2 digits after the decimal (e.g. 16.38 cm = 0.16 m)

    Clarifying Ambiguities in High School Physics Problems

    Yep. Word for word. My teacher posted the answer: 4.5*10^3m is the distance

    Clarifying Ambiguities in High School Physics Problems

    I tried using the equation E(k)=1/2mv^2 and isolating for v but no mass was given. Then, I tried W=fd but there is no distance given. I don't know how to solve this.

    Max Power of a Tesla SUV: Solving F(net)=F(app)-F(resistance)

    F(net)=F(app)-F(resistance) ma=F(app)-F(resistance) (1.5*10^3)(16.67)=F(app)-600 25005=F(app)-600 P=ΔE/Δt P=25005/6 P=4167.5 W I got the incorrect answer (because I didn't take into account the resistance?). I am also confused about which Force value to use for the...

    The energy of a ball shot upwards

    I still wouldn't be able to calculate velocity for part b by using kinematics as I have 3 missing values (no acceleration, no final velocity, and no displacement). Would I have to assume that the velocity is constant?

    The energy of a ball shot upwards

    a) E(mech)=E(k)+E(g) E(mech)=1/2mv^2+(0.2)(9.8)(0) E(mech)=19.6 J b) E(mech1)=E(mech2) E(k)+E(g)=E(k)+E(g) E(g)=E(k)+E(g) 0=1/2mv^2+(mgh) *No height is given so I can't solve using this method. It says instantaneous velocity meaning the velocity at...
