How do I find an area in m^2 when I'm given lengths in cm?

its tempting when we're given a length in cm - let's use a radius for example - to simply square the number of cm. However this can lead you into traps. Take a circle with radius 5cm. We know that A=pi

A ball is hit horizontally at a height of 1.2 m and travels a horizontal distance of 5.0 m before reaching the ground. The ball is at rest when hit. Calculate the initial horizontal velocity given to the ball when it was hit.

Vertically: u=0 ms-1  s=1.2 m  a=9.8 ms-2 s=ut + 0.5at2 Therefore t = 0.49s Horizontally: t=0.49s  s=5.0m speed = distance/time = 5.0/0.49 = 10.2 ...

If photons are little particles emitted by atoms, where were they before they got emitted?

Eisntein showed that in his theory of relativity that energy and mass were no longer conserved, as they are in Newton's theory. This completely changes how we see particles. They are no longer fundamental...

How would you prove the formula for the total capacitance of a system consisting of several capacitors linked in series?

The first thing you need to do is to decide what is kept constant within the system. (P.S. Essentially all problems in physics require conservation laws to some extent)
In the case of components in ...

What is the photo-electric effect and what impact did it have on the development of Quantum Mechanics?

The photo-electric effect is the process in which a metal will emit electrons when light of a sufficiently high frequency is incident upon it, Before Einstein's description of the photo-electric effect th...
