    Can you help me determine the convergence of these series?

    Homework Statement Determine whether the following series converge, converge conditionally, or converge absolutely. Homework Equations a) Σ(-1)^k×k^3×(5+k)^-2k (where k goes from 1 to infinity) b) ∑sin(2π + kπ)/√k × ln(k) (where k goes from 2 to infinity) c) ∑k×sin(1+k^3)/(k + ln(k))...

    Values of x for which a geometric series converges

    Need help with a homework question! The question gives: The first three terms of a geometric sequence are sin(x), sin(2x) and 4sin(x)cos^2(x) for -π/2 < x < π/2. First I had to find the common ratio which is 2cos(x) Then the question asks to find the values of x for which the geometric series...

    How does a hinged mass affect a catapult's launch time?

    Yes I have done this: Yes so this is what I have: where T is the tension, mg is the gravitational force and r is the length of the rod from the string to the pivot I have already done the experiment where I investigate the effect a hinged mass has on the catapult. I have measured how different...

    How does a hinged mass affect a catapult's launch time?

    Homework Statement Okay, so I am doing a physics investigation and I am supposed to have a theory I can test. I have a catapult I made myself, and I change the force exerted on the rod of the catapult by changing the mass that hangs by a string. It is a seesaw with a hinged mass on one end. I...
