2008-11-17 velocity: The standard equation for mechanics is v = at where v is velocity, a is acceleration, and t is time. The one you listed, v=gt, only applies to falling bodies near the surface of the Earth where the acceleration...

2008-11-17 electricity: You can only transmit so much power and P =VI so for the same power if you increase the voltage you can reduce the current. The power loss in the line is I^2R so the lower the current the lower the line...

2008-11-16 HELP!: Somehow you have to determine the velocity which is the time to fall a certain distance. The only way you can show that it has reached a terminal velocity is to time it over two different distances to...

2008-11-15 HELP!: That would not be easy to do with simple equipment. First of all you would have to determine how far it would have to drop to reach terminal velocity. One possibility would be to drop it off a roof and...

2008-11-12 magnetism: Magnetism is due to magnetic domains that exist in certain metals and alloys. There are some metals, such as Fe, Co, and Ni, that can be used to make permanent magnets. You can produce magnetic fields...
