    Solving Telescoping Series with n Terms

    I have no idea how to do this :'( really the only part I don't understand is the ending part...like for the infinite sum of (1/n(n+1))....I know you start of by partial fractions...then you just plug in a few numbers for n. so I end up with: (1 - 1/2) + (1/2 - 1/3) + (1/3 - 1/4) + ...

    Conservation of Momentum of a uniform thin rod

    K thanks That thread did help and I got the right answer...don't fully understand why but I'll ask my proffesor during his office hours. Thanks a bunch guys.

    Conservation of Momentum of a uniform thin rod

    Well...it doesn't give me the velocity of the bullet and that is what I'm trying to find...so when I solved for the velocity I got 218 m/s. But that is the velocity perpendicular to the plane, right? so then I divided that number by the cos of 30 and got 252 which is also wrong.

    Conservation of Momentum of a uniform thin rod

    A uniform thin rod of length 0.40 m and mass 3.5 kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center. The rod is at rest when a 3.0-g bullet traveling in the horizontal plane of the rod is fired into one end of the rod. As viewed from above, the direction of the bullet's...

    How Does Friction Impact Work and Energy in Physics Problems?

    In the image {08_53.gif}, a block is moved down an incline a distance of 5.0 m from point A to point B by a force F that is parallel to the incline and has a magnitude of 2.3 N. The magnitude of the frictional force acting on the block is 10 N. If the kinetic energy of the block increases by 35...

    Newtonian Problems #4 - Still Struggling

    #2) Correct K=\frac{1}{2} mv^2 (a) K=\frac{1}{2} (6kg)(2\frac{m}{s})^2=12J (b) K=\frac{1}{2} (4kg)(3\frac{m}{s})^2=18J (c) K=\frac{1}{2} (2kg)(5\frac{m}{s})^2=25J (d) K=\frac{1}{2} (6kg)(2\frac{m}{s})^2=27J Therefore...(d) is the correct answer [if I did it correctly :cool: ] #3)...

    Calculating Spring Compression and Impact Speed of a Dropped Block

    Springs, Vectors, and a graph Part 2 Now the Vector problem... 7. [HRW6 7.PN.20.] A force F = (2.9 i + 7.5 j + 8.0 k) N acts on a 2.00 kg object that moves from an initial position of di = (3.0 i - 2.0 j + 5.0 k) m to a final position of df = (-5.0 i + 3.9 j + 7.1 k) m in 4.3 s (a) Find...

    Calculating Spring Compression and Impact Speed of a Dropped Block

    This is my first post...and I hope I am doing this correctly...I know this isn't a place to "get my homework done for me". I just want to know how to do it. 3. [HRW6 7.P.022.] A 220 g block is dropped onto a relaxed vertical spring that has a spring constant of k = 2.8 N/cm. The block...
