Define electrical resistance

It's often best to use an equation when asked for definitions like this. In this case, use Ohm's law: R = V/I (where V is potential difference, I is current and R is resistance, measured in ohms)

A ball is dropped from a 5.0m high window. Assuming air resistance is negligible, calculate the time taken for it to hit the ground.


Ignoring air resistance, use an energy argument to find the speed of a ball when it hits the ground if it is dropped from 50m, where m is the mass of the ball.


The LHC accelerates protons to a speed of 0.999999991c around a 27km ring. Due to relativistic effects, their mass increases. Given that the magnetic fields used are 8T, calculate this mass. What is the total energy of an LHC beam containing 3e14 protons?


Explain why an object moving around a circle is said to be accelerating when it has no resultant force acting upon it.
