    Exploring Newton's Law of Cooling with Physics Project

    Hi everyone. I am doing a physic’s project about Newton’s law of cooling. This project was basically to evaluate the change in temperature between a cup of cooling water and the room temperature as a function of time by using different methods of heat retention (via convection & evaporation...

    Understanding Water Flow Dynamics in a Bernoulli's Pipe

    Hi everyone….I have a new question. I am writing a lab write-up and I am kind of confused about a concept. In this lab I studied the even flow of water by analyzing the flow of water through a Bernoulli’s pipe. The pipe was set up in a way that it was vertical, open at the top (where a hose...

    Solving Vectors: Boater Needs to Cross River at 20mph

    Hi everyone…it feels like it has been a while but I have another question? This is dealing with vectors. Q: A boater wants to cross a river that has a current of 5mph and measures .75 miles in width. If the boat can travel at 20mph through the water, what heading must it take in order to...

    Is spin the same as torque in physics?

    Hi everyone this is hopefully a quick and easy question: If a person spins an object that rotates, is that considered torque? When that object that is rotating, are the forces that act upon it: gravity, air resistance, friction, and the beginning twist from that person, Newton’s second law?
