For the firecracker problem, I believe the only net external force is gravity. Therefore using, Fnet * delta t = delta p. Change in momentum is 12 kg * m/s., Thanks Delta 2 that's very helpful :) Just a question View attachment 283194 So this one always for nonconservative forces or all forces? and the other equation just for conservative forces? This is for the work of all forces, conservative and non conservative., A particle moving in the x direction is being acted upon by a net force F (x)=Cx^2, for some constant C. The particle moves from x initial =L to x final=3L. What is Delta K, the change in kinetic energy of the particle during that time? I tried thih by doing the integral of F (x), replacing x with 2L (because final-initial, 3L-L)., The problem with a wye-delta transform is that you are transforming the resistor in question, the 14 ohm resistor will no longer be 14 ohms and it's current will be different. You will get a solution to the equivalent network, and the currents in the branches outside of the delta will be correct., So the total energy conservation equation becomes which is expected because the net force must be zero. To understand your question better, consider the case when the system is only the object. In this case, two external forces act on the system and do work that crosses the system boundary, gravity and hand., Homework Statement A thin film of oil (n = 1.50) floats on water (n = 1.33). If the film appears yellow-green (\lambda = 550 nm) when viewed at normal.
