Thank you so much--especially with the first one. Now I can actually do the problems.

Thanks for any help you can give. I just started modern physics and my teacher has a tendency to give questions that were based on things not mentioned in the book and only briefly mentioned in the lectures, so I'm a bit confused. Homework Statement 1) Calculate the distribution function of...

It really depends on you. I was taking a semester long course in differential equations at a local community college -- considered to be the best in the state -- at the same time I was "taking" the MIT open courseware DifEq course. In about 10 MIT classes I learned everything that my classmates...

I checked it out and the transfer deadline isn't until March, so I'm reading up on it.

I'm sure similar questions have been asked before, but all the threads Google and the search seem to find are the standard lists of ivy league schools. If you know of a good thread or two please drop a link. I'm transferring out of a community college, and I was planning to transfer directly...

The hardest part of calculus is the algebra. If you are good at algebra the rest of it should be fairly easy.

Thank you.

In situations like these you have to think about what the they physically represent. Think of it this way how would you move a book with negative force? No matter what direction you move the book the book is always moving positively with respect to the force you apply on it.

You first need to find the distance he traveled before his speed was constant. Once you find that distance then find the relative distance between him and the bus as a function of time. He travels at some constant speed v*t towards the bus which closes the gap while the bus moves away at the...

Mixing Differential Equation -- need confirmation of the process. Homework Statement There is a box with 320 cubic feet of air mixed with .2 pounds of some some impurity. A small ventilation fan is added to the box at one end. Find the flow rate (R) of the fan as such that no more than .0002...

The force along the x direction in your problem is incorrect because the friction between the box and the hands is important to the problem overall. However in bug fixing your problem I was able to see where I went wrong so thanks.

I have a problem I'm working on where the general premise is that there is a box being pushed along the ceiling at a constant speed. The force F is at some angle with respect to the vertical. There is a coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ceiling and the persons hands and the...
