Thank you for both of these replies, I would think the centripetal acceleration is horizontally towards the centre. I apologise for not using LaTeX, I will get up to scratch to use it next time. Finally I am unsure of what you mean in your first reply.
Well yes, 13.1 is the answer from the mark-scheme (see the second attachment), my problem is how you arrive at this result. You must have resolved the forces differently to me, and if you don't mind I would like to know how/why you did it this way. Thank you for your reply!
Hello all, I am sadly stuck on the last part of a circular motion question sheet I was given for homework. I have a mark-scheme with me, but it has actually given me more questions than answers. I have attached my working, and how I arrived at my answer, and the differences it has with the...
Hello, thank you for responding. I understand both of your comments (I think), you are saying that, in the area were the equipotential lines are closest together, there must be a greater potential difference gradient, and therefore a greater field strength. I now understand, you have both helped...
Hello everyone, thank you for taking your time to read this. I was assigned a homework task of multiple choice questions to do with gravitational fields. This is one of the last questions and I have been pondering over it for some time now. I don't understand how any sort of answer is...
But if the axis really was at an angle, wouldn't this mean that the flux is always hitting at an angle? Surely that means the 2nd drawing is slightly wrong at least.
Thanks for replying!
Hello all, I am currently studying for a physics a-level qualification in the UK, I use the AQA specification and I am having trouble understanding this image representing a scenario I found in my textbook. The first image in the three part diagram shows this rotating coil and to me, it makes...
