I would say B, C, and D. If the upward force of the parachute is greater in magnitude than F, then the new resultant force must point upward (and may be more or less than F). If the upward force of the parachute is equal and opposite F, then they must cancel out, and if the upward force is...

In the 2nd question, I definitely think it's D, because the force the rock exerts on your toe is equal in magnitude to the normal force the toe exerts on the rock which in turn is equal to the rock's weight, which is related to m by the constant g. In the 1st question, I am not as certain, but I...

In the solution to the example problem, they wrote the following statement. “The least significant digit is the units digit, and so your weight is uncertain by about 1 pound. That is, your scale would read 119 lb for any weight between 118.5 and 119.5 lb.” I don’t understand why the scale...

If each ball rises two meters, then the time is in the air is equal to around 1.28 seconds. After this, what am I supposed to do? I feel really stuck. If all of the balls are released at different times, how am I supposed to find the answer?

Homework Statement:: This is from 5 ed, Physics 1Halliday, Resnick, and Krane. page 428 about sound waves I have highlighted the equation that I don't understand. How did the author get it? I understand how they get from the middle side to the RHS of the equation, but I don't understand how...

Hello! This is a problem from Halliday Resnick Krane (Chapter 4: Problem #15). “A puck is moving in a circle of radius r0 with a constant speed v0 on a level frictionless table. A string is attached to the puck, which holds it in the circle; the string passes through a frictionless hole and is...

Hello! In Chapter 4 of Halliday Resnick Krane on Pg. 73, they write “the descending motion is much steeper than the ascending motion” when discussing how the trajectory of a projectile changes when we consider drag force. Why is this statement true?

As the force on a pulley is equal to twice the tension, I just have to find the tension to solve part A. To do so, I first wrote the equations for both m1 and m2. m1 * a = T - m1g m2 * a = T + N - m2g The tension must have the same values for both equations so I added both equations to find...

Homework Statement:: Not a homework problem. I need a conceptual explanation. Relevant Equations:: ##p_2 = p_1 + \rho g(y_1 - y_2)## (1) ## p = p_0 + \rho gh## (2) When deriving equation (1) we use the example of a submerged cylinder in static equilibrium with its top at position ##y_1## and...

Is surface tension topic present is resnick halliday walker, principles of physics 10th edition,if present then please tell me on which page

Hi, So I'm trying to self-study AP Physics C and found the first volume of Halliday/Resnick's Fundamentals of Physics on my parent's shelf, 3rd edition (from 1988). They also have the 2nd edition of University Physics, volume 2 (E&M). I do, however, have a copy online of the extended 10th...

I continue to see references to time dilation that I don’t understand. Maybe the bluntest one is in a textbook by Resnick. Introduction to Special Relativity, p. 93: “Indeed we find that the phenomena are reciprocal. That is, just as A’s clock seems to B to run slow, so does B’s clock seem to...

In Chapter 11, section 11-4, subsection friction and rolling, it is stated that the static frictional force is along the same direction as the direction of motion because the point of contact of the wheel with the floor is moving in the opposite direction. Then, in the next subsection, the same...

Resnick and Halliday have many physics books and they have more than 6 named fundamental of physics I don't know which one I should choose they have many editions for each book and they have the same name .

Was wondering what is the difference between the 2nd and 3rd ed of Physics by Resnick and Halliday? I know for the most part, at least for mathbooks, the earlier edition the better, and that there is ussually few changes in newer edition. However, I already own the 2nd edition (Blue Cover) and...

Hello all, I am interested in physics and I know that a some amount of calculus is required for high school physics. We don't start calculus until the end of next year i.e end of 11th grade (I have just finished 9th grade), although the level of physics we do is quite high. Can someone...

Is Resnick Halliday's textbook "Principles of physics" a good book ? Is it useful for olympiads like IPhO (International Physics Olympiad) ? It would be good if somebody could give a review on the book ?

I know there are a lot of similar questions here but just hear me out. I am going to start self-studying quantum mechanics in a few days. I think I am going to use the MIT quantum mechanics 1 lectures as a starting point. But books will be essential as I spend most of my time in school. I have...

$\newcommand{\uvec}[1]{\boldsymbol{\hat{\textbf{#1}}}}$ There is a uniform magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ directed along the axis, and confined to a cylindrical volume of radius $R$. The magnitude of $\mathbf{B}$ is decreasing at a constant rate of $10$ mT/s. In unit-vector notation, what is the...

I am reading Resnick and Halliday's "Basic Concepts in Relativity" (ISBN: 0023993456) and have come to an impass about deriving equation 3-4a \begin{equation}m = \gamma m_0\end{equation} in the text. The authors wrote that the equation can be derived from the following equations...

Hi, My uni uses the Halliday and Resnick textbook. The uni website says to get either the Principles of Physics Extended 9th Edition or Fundamentals of Physics Extended Edition 8th and that it will cost ~£38. Whilst searching for the text I found some are sold in separate volumes whereas some...

Homework Statement A cord is attached to a cart that can slide along a frictionless horizontal rail aligned along an x axis. The left end of the cord is pulled over a pulley, or negligible mass and friction and at cord height h = 1.20m, so the cart slides from x1 = 3.00m to x2 = 1.00m. During...

Hi! This fall, I'll be taking calculus based physics at U of M. This course covers only mechanics I believe, and from what I've researched, the textbook by Resnick is the best for this. Now my question is: Which of his textbooks should I buy? From what I've found on Amazon, there are...

Hi, new member here ^_^ "A 1000kg boat is traveling at 90km/h when its engine is shut off. The magnitude of the frictional force f_k between boat and water is proportional to the speed v of the boat: f_k = 70v, where v is in meters per second and f_k is in Newtons. Find the time required for...

I have an older text I found, and was wondering if it is ok to use as an intro to physics. It is Physics vol 1. halliday and resnick.copyright is 66'

Why isn't time a vector? Hi, I found the following question in Halliday and Resnick's Physics Part I chapter on Vectors and the Laws of Motion. 5.We can order events in time. For example, event b may precede event c but follow event a, giving us a time order of events a, b, c. Hence there...
