How do I derive equations for Time of Flight and Range in Parabolic Motion?

A ball is thrown with a certain launch angle (theta) above the horizontal with a certain velocity v. Let us assume that the gravitational acceleration g is constant over the flight, the ball has no...

A skydiver is at a height of 10,000 m. Assuming no air resistance, how fast is the skydiver travelling at 9,990 m above the ground?

The skydiver has potential energy at the top of his/her jump, which is transferred to kinetic energy when he/she jumps. The difference in height between the start of the jump and the point at which his/he...

What is the threshold frequency of a photon to excite and then emit photoelectrons from a material?

Use the photoelectric effect equation which shows conservation of energy between photons, electrons and the material that the electron is being freed from, hf = phi + KEmax . Definin...

How does the angle of an inclined plane relate to its efficiency, given the coefficient of friction between a body and the plane?

Let’s define the efficiency first. The efficiency is basically the ratio between what we want over what we pay for. So, we want to lift an object up to a height, say H. In the ideal scenario we lift that ...

2 resistors of resistances 150 ohms and 5000 ohms respectively are in series with each other. They both are also in parallel with a 1000 ohm resistor. What is the total resistance?

Firstly, you should start by working out the total resistance for the 150 ohm and 5000 ohm resistors which are in series: -In series the total resistance is given as the ...
