    Atwood's Machine: Finding Acceleration & Tension Magnitudes

    There is an Atwood's machine. The masses of blocks A and B are m_A and m_B, respectively, the moment of inertia of the wheel about its axis is I, and the radius of the semicircle in which the string moves is R. Known: m_A > m_B a)Find the magnitude of the linear acceleration of the block...

    Proving Angle Bisector of A and B with Vector Magnitudes

    Prove that \frac{|B|A+|A|B}{|A|+|B|} is the bisector of the angle formed by A and B. where i have used normal text for vector and abs value bars to represent magnitude of vector. i have no clue how to get started on this. i have tried many approaches such as constructing a triangle with a, b...

    Magnitudes of the largest and smallest force?

    This is what I have and I have a feeling that I do not understand. 11. A box with a mass of 22 kg is at rest on a ramp inclined at 45 (degrees) to the horizontal. The coefficients of friction between the box and the ramp are: (mu(s): o.78 and mu(k): o.65) a) Determine the magnitude of the...

    Multirange Ammeter and magnitudes of the resistances

    Can someone please help me out with this problem? I am not sure if what I am doing is right The question: The resistance of the moving coil of the galvanometer G in Fig. 26.63 is 43.0 ohms, and the galvanometer deflects full scale with a current of 0.0295 A. When the meter is connected to the...

    How Do You Calculate Astronomical Magnitudes and Photon Count Rates?

    Hey I've been practicing these example questions that our lecturer gave us as part of the preparation for the upcoming exam. I'd appreciate any help. I find it really difficult to do his work because his lecture notes barely explain anything. It would have been nice to have a textbook for the...

    Rank magnitudes of the electron's accerlation.

    Hello everyone, I'm lost as usual. Because they are two sheets, infinite and nonconducting. I thought I would use this equation: E = \delta /(2Eo). But they give the separation which i don't see how that fits into this equation. I figured I could find the accerlation using F = MA. But...

    Force Magnitudes, directions, gravity, etc (lost)

    Hey all, First-time poster here, hope y'all can help me. I'm ok with 85% of my homework this evening, but this one darned problem keeps tripping me up. Real quick, just to note, I'm still in high school, but this is Physics AP, so let me know if I'm in the wrong forum. Thanks! (a)...
