    Derivation of the electric field from the potential

    Sorry, I mean : You have to use the quotient rule!

    You have to your the quotient rule!

    Dipole in physics and Chemistry

    Here is my concern, In my physics class I learned that a dipole moment always goes from the - charge to the + charge. But as I was reading my Organic Chemistry book, it says that the dipole goes from + to -! how can this be? P = Qd Does anyone know about this? Simon

    I've been stuck on this problem forever.

    answer exactly, my answer is the correct one.

    Charge Distribution on a Sphere: Exploring Gauss' Law

    The elementary charge is = 1.6X10^-19 C not 1.6x10^19 C

    How Do You Solve Complex Physics Problems Involving Newton's Laws?

    of course, I didn't draw the other tension on the other side because is understood.

    2nd problem ok the hyp that you got is good. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 a= 16 b = .182 c = 16.001 using the formula. Good you got until this point. 2nd step= get the angle theta. (see diagram) 90-tan (16/.182) = theta step 3 = Get the tension by adding the Forces on the y axes. See diagram

    First problem (sail boat) check the attachment Fx = F(east) - F(northwest)Xcos45 = -12339 N Fy = F(northwest)Xsin45 = 39739 N Fnet = Squareroot of (Fx^2 + Fy^2) then, Fnet = ma a = Fnet/mass = 3.4 m/s

    I've been stuck on this problem forever.

    1st step is to draw a gaussian surface 2nd step is to find the flux = EA = E 2(pi)(r^2) 3rd step is to find the charge from the equation, rho = Q/V ; Q = rho * Volume = (rho)[(2)(pi)(r^2)(d)] 4th step is to use gauss law, EA = Q/8.85X10^-12 and solve for E. Epsilon = 8.85X10^-12
