    Understanding E=F/q: Solving for E at a Specific Point q_p

    Yes exactly, but when do you know you've made your mistake if everything you are doing is an assumption made on best case knowledge, you're adding tomatoes to a fruit salad... Charge exerted on each charge can be found using Columbs law F=K*((Q1*Q1)/d) Electrical potential energy = Total...

    Please help me find what 't' is (Plane flying across the Atlantic Ocean)

    Thanks Caz, I'll keep this in my mind the next time I attempt this course!

    right, so because the maximum value sin(t/5) can be is 1, and then -1, So if t in this equation is 450, the value of sin(90) is maximum, then 2/5 of 1=0.4 and then for the same reason in the first part, sin(90) is maximum = 1. Then 50 times this or -50 times this... the value of t doesn't...

    You are right with the answer of 50, but can you please explain where are you getting 0.4 from?

    Am I overthinking this? (Noise cancelling headphones for airplane noise)

    the answer is negative the same equation...start points and end points will be the same? Shifting the wave will move the start and end points by either (2pi, pi or pi/2)

    You're going to have to realize I'm the biggest idiot on this forum and saying these things is going to be painful! I think I need to do them numerically, but I don't even know if I'm meant to be working in radians or degrees... I agree with your principle of t=5s, but I'm don't see how I can...

    I'm sorry, I really don't know...I cannot think of a number where you multiply it by 10 and 5th it to get sin(-1)...

    Can I just shift the wave over by 2Pi to get the opposite wave?

    Please help me find what 't' is (Plane flying across the Atlantic Ocean)

    Maybe...I don't really know what it entails without an example... Maximum value of a sine wave is 1, so is it just 1 as we are looking at the maximum?

    Please see below question and formula for Z(t) - position, I differentiate twice to get the below formula for acceleration. But I cannot solve it because of the unknown t... What is t representing in the original equation?

    Understanding E=F/q: Solving for E at a Specific Point q_p

    the answer is apparently k*(q_1*q_p/r_1 + q_1*q_2/(r_1+r_2)) It is a physics course on edx called pre university physics. Looking at the difference, my answer is no a million miles away, but you make one mistake in physics and it doesn't really matter. The question started in a new thread...
