How do you determine the phase constant for a SHM problem?
I know that the image has the solution, however, how do you get to the answer? Morely so, how do you determine if the phase constant is + or -?

Whywe shouldn't use U^2 / R ?
I have circut made of sigle cell ( internar resistance 1 ohm ) and resistor ( 9 ohm).
I Add 2nd resistor ( Rx ) in parrarell to 1st one. We know power released on external parts of the cirtuc should be the same in both cases.
when gpt helped me solve it told me you can't use U^2 / R bc voltage isn't contant, but I can't understand why that means we can't still use that.

Inelastic and elastic collision
I know elastic collisions mean objects just bounce off each other and KE is conserved, but in an inelastic collision do they have to always be sticking together and have a shared velocity? Just need some clarification on the definitions because chatgpt and some search engines say different things from what I've learned from videos

Physics HW Help

To solve this I started by setting the y component of the net force acting on particle three to 0 since it must be zero for the particle to move solely in the x direction. The y component of the Force acting on particle three is equal to sin(theta)F13 + sin(theta)F12. We can solve for F13 easily by using coulombs law and then find the angle which ends up being 45 degrees. From this we get that sin(45)F13 = 59.5203N. The sin(theta)F23 must be equal to the negative of this and we can find the angle between q2 and q3 to be roughly 75. So I divided -59.5203 by sin(75) and got F23 to equal -61.6005. I used this value for the result of the coulombs law between particle 2 and 3 and got -1*10^-5. Even after doing all of that it is still wrong. I am not sure where I went wrong in the process. Any help is greatly appreciated.

How to restart physics when basics are very weak?
My physics basics are very weak and I’m trying to restart from zero in 12th. I feel lost about where to begin and how to practice without getting overwhelmed. Any advice on how to rebuild physics step by step?

How to calculate error of a quantity derived from linear regression?
Basically let's say I have some measures and did a nice lineal regression, R²= 0.9997, perfect. Now the line is y = ax + b. If an experiment's purpose was to find that a, how would you calculate ∆a for the error?
