Physics teacher | Tutor for 8 years
I hold a degree in Physics from Eastern Mennonite University. With a passion for unraveling the mysteries of the universe, I thrive on sharing my knowledge with students. From classical mechanics to quantum theory, I offer clear explanations and engaging lessons to foster deep understanding. Let's explore the wonders of physics together, tackling questions across various subjects.
Questions
An object is at rest at #(7 ,4 ,2 )# and constantly accelerates at a rate of #4/3 m/s# as it moves to point B. If point B is at #(3 ,1 ,9 )#, how long will it take for the object to reach point B? Assume that all coordinates are in meters.
How did Coulomb study the repulsion and attraction forces of charged particles?
An object with a mass of #24 kg#, temperature of #210 ^oC#, and a specific heat of #7 J/(kg*K)# is dropped into a container with #48 L # of water at #0^oC #. Does the water evaporate? If not, by how much does the water's temperature change?
An object is at rest at #(1 ,5 ,1 )# and constantly accelerates at a rate of #4/3 m/s^2# as it moves to point B. If point B is at #(9 ,4 ,8 )#, how long will it take for the object to reach point B? Assume that all coordinates are in meters.
