Simple harmonic motion is defined as a motion where the acceleration of the particle is proportional to but in the opposite direction to the displacement...

The principle necessary to answer this question is the conservation of linear momentum. This means that the sum of the momentum of the hammer and nail before impact must be equal to the total momentum of ...

for a capacitor the equations you need to know are:  Q=CV  V=Vin*e^(t/RC) and E=1/2QV (with Q=charge/columbs, C= capacitance/Farads, V=voltage/volts, R=resitance/ohms, Vin=initial voltage when discharging...

By the Law of Conservation of Momentum, Initial Momentum=Final Momentum, in a closed system.

Take movement to the right as + and to the left as -

Therefore equate the...

An alpha particle is made up of two neutrons and two protons. It is the same as the nucleus of a helium atom.
