    Force of 6" x 18" Steel Panel Weighing 3.25 Pounds Striking a Person

    And i forgot to mention, i also made an assumption that the plate is a point object with a mass of 3.25 pounds.. I guess that about covers it..

    Force of 6" x 18" Steel Panel Weighing 3.25 Pounds Striking a Person

    Like filiplarsen has mentioned, you'll need more details for more accurate measurements... but if you were to simplify the case, by ignoring air resistance you could calculate the speed of the plate just before it hit the head by the work-energy theorem. it comes out to be approx 16...

    Physical Significance/Interpretation of Angular Wave Number.

    My doubt is on the angular wave number 'k' in case of a sinusodal wave on a string, the angular wave number k = (2*pi)/lambda lambda being the wave length of the wave. What does 'k' signify in physical terms ? for e.g. general wave number = 1/lambda again, lambda being...

    How do i compute distance if shot at 45degrees

    sorry...forgot to mention this in my previous post, 'u' is the initial speed of the projectile... in this case is would be 100fps

    How do i compute distance if shot at 45degrees

    well...if you are shooting from level ground then the maximum range(R) of the projectile will be R= ( ^{}u^2 )/g so your answer would be..approx 1020 feet... actually for a projectile fired from level ground on solving the various equations of motion you'll get Range = {...

    Doubt regarding Force exerted by a magnetic field on a moving charge

    a charged particle ( say 'q' ) moving with velocity 'V' in a region containing a magnetic field 'B' experiences a force 'F' given by: [FONT="Arial Black"]F = q(VxB) when V = 0, then force = 0 my doubt is, is this velocity relative to the magnetic field ? ( i.e. when the velocity...
