Christopher Moore is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Longwood University in Farmville, VA.I’m working on programming a problem solution generator.
This will be one of the new features we will be unveiling soon. The generator will allow you to choose from over 100 common problems in physics, plug in your own numbers, and the complete, thoroughly explained solution will pop out with the right numerical answer.
I should have all the problems associated with 1D motion rolled out within a week or so.
Click here to see a simple demonstration.
Are you sure this is a good idea? I would hate to see ILovePhysics.com become a free-for-all problem solver where students come by to drop off their problems and get a plugged in answer. I’m all for tutoring and helping students with questions, but I have to wonder if an automated problem-solver goes too far.
The solutions will be for very common physics problems in introductory classes. Not much more involved than the few already posted.
I’m not offering a problem solving depot, where I’ll solve any problem submitted. But sometimes, students need to see some solved problems to get a feel for how to do it.
The generator will also be used as part of the problem solving email course I’m working on. A guide to the art of problem solving requires showing students some solutions.
a block rest on aan inclined plane. a spring to which it is attached via a pulley and string is being pulled downward with gradually increaseing force. the value of us is unknown. find the potential energy U of the spring at the moment when the block begins to move.
An astronomical unit ( AU ) is defined as the average distance between the Earth and
Sun. ( One light year = 9.46 x 10 m , 1.5 x 10 = 1 AU )
a) How many astronomical units are there in one lightyear?
b) Determine the distance from Earth to the Andromeda galaxy in astronomical units. ( Distance from Earth to the Andromeda galaxy is 2 x 10 m )
2-4. The square of the speed of an object undergoing a uniform acceleration, a is some
function of a and the displacement , s according to the expression v = k a s ,
where k is a dimensionless constant. Show by dimensional analysis that this
expression is satisfied only if m = n =
A rifle bullet is fired at an angle of 30o below the horizontal with an initial velocity of 800 m/s from the top of the cliff 80 m high. How far from the base of the cliff does it strike the level ground below?
An excellent website
It is a hell damn thing,
How do you solve this problem…
A 0.225 kg sample of tin initially at 97.5 oC is dropped into 0.115 kg of water. The intial temperature of the water is 10 oC. If the specific heat of tin is 230 J/kg*oC, what is the final equilibrium temperature of the tin-water mixture?
i need the answer badly please please answer it thnks a lot
a man was stabbed in the neck.his major blood vessel was punctured. if the wound is 1.8 from the ground and blood is coming out horizontally from the wound as it falls 0.8m away from the man, how fast is blood coming out his artery in the neck?
