A Physics graduate from Seattle Pacific University, I'm passionate about unraveling the wonders of the universe. With a commitment to fostering curiosity, I thrive on helping students grasp the intricacies of the subject. My approach combines a solid academic foundation with a knack for simplifying complex concepts. Let's embark on a journey of discovery together, where no question is too challenging.
Questions

Why do batteries run down?
An object travels North at # 5 m/s# for #3 s# and then travels South at # 4 m/s# for # 6 s#. What are the object's average speed and velocity?
A cylinder has inner and outer radii of #8 cm# and #16 cm#, respectively, and a mass of #6 kg#. If the cylinder's frequency of counterclockwise rotation about its center changes from #2 Hz# to #7 Hz#, by how much does its angular momentum change?

An object with a mass of #2 kg# is acted on by two forces. The first is #F_1= < 9 N , 5 N># and the second is #F_2 = < 7 N, -6 N>#. What is the object's rate and direction of acceleration?
An object is at rest at #(2 ,9 ,5 )# and constantly accelerates at a rate of #1/5 m/s# as it moves to point B. If point B is at #(6 ,2 ,7 )#, how long will it take for the object to reach point B? Assume that all coordinates are in meters.
Why is electric power transmitted at high voltages?
An object with a mass of #12 kg#, temperature of #210 ^oC#, and a specific heat of #7 J/(kg*K)# is dropped into a container with #32 L # of water at #0^oC #. Does the water evaporate? If not, by how much does the water's temperature change?
