AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student struggling to understand the concept of periods in physics after missing three weeks of class. The student is seeking clarification on the units of periods needed for homework and equations. It is confirmed that the unit of period, referring to periodic time, is the second. The student expresses frustration over the lack of available help during winter break. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the challenges of catching up in physics without direct support.

I've just been introduced to wavelengths and so forth in my Physics class but i was out for 3 weeks and I'm basically expected to do all these equations and homework with no help or anything. Can't contract my professor, it's winter break and I've tried researching but i can't find what the Units of Periods are...please help me.

The unit of Period(as in periodic time) is the second
 
thanks

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
