    Hydrogen bonding force problem

    Ah! Small but critical oversight on my part. "e" meant electron ... so that each base pair is a factor .3 or .4 charge of an electron. This would make: N = (-.3)(1.602x10^-19 C) = -4.806x10^-20 C H = (.3)(1.602x10^-19 C) = 4.806x10^-20 C O = (-.4)(1.602x10^-19 C) = -6.408x10^-20 C C =...

    Water Slide Mechanical Energy Problem

    Homework Statement A 58.5 kg child slides down a water slide with a velocity of 1.2 m/sec at the top. At the bottom of the slide, she is moving horizontally, y=1.5 meters above the water. She splashes into the water d=2 meters to the left of the bottom of the slide. 1) Assuming potential...
