I'm aware of that. Like I said I just wanted to make sure I understood how I could solve more complicated versions of the problem. thanks.

Homework Statement You are in charge of a cannon that exerts a force 19000 N on a cannon ball while the ball is in the barrel of the cannon. The length of the cannon barrel is 1.92 m and the cannon is aimed at a 37° angle from the ground. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. If you want...

Yes I did,but you'll notice that still doesn't get rid of x. Vela, what do you mean by that?

Homework Statement Determine the second derivative of y with respect to x when 2x2+3y2=0 Homework Equations possible answers include: 2/(3y2) -2/(9y3) 2/(3y3) -2/(3y2) -2/(3y3) The Attempt at a Solution I took the first derivative with respect to x implicitly and came up with...

I've been self-learning math and physics topics for the fun of it, and I'm not quite sure where to go from here. So far, I have a firm foundation in differential, integral, multivariable, and vector calculus. I'm working on differential equations. I don't know much linear algebra at all...

I'm not entirely sure what you did there here's what would be a good idea: ∫ dv/dt dt = k∫1/t^2 dt v= -k/2t^2 + d now you know that when t=1 v=3, and you also know that the limiting velocity (when t→∞) is 5, so when t→∞, d=v, and v= 5, so d = 5, so now you have the formula v=-k/2t^2...

I won't answer the question directly for you, but this is just a basic algebra problem, remember that when y is proportional to x, you use the formula y=kx where k is some constant, inversly proportional to x and you have y = k/x. Once you know how y is proportional to x, and you have test...

thanks!

Yeah I plan on taking some classes in nuclear engineering (The option I'm choosing for my major is radiation physics) But i'll definitely talk to some people from both departments. Thanks for the help!

Well that makes it sound like physics major is definitely for me thanks!

That's the answer I was looking for, thanks!

Except that an electric dipole isn't a true dipole. There isn't a complete circulation. If you placed a positive charge just next to the positive end of the electric dipole, it would follow a path to the negative end of the dipole, but would be stuck there. An electric dipole has a source and...

My guess is that they don't since it's thought that they might be possible, but here's why I'm asking this question: in the magnetic field created by a magnetic dipole, couldn't you place a magnetic monopole into the field (make sure it stays on the set path) and have it circulate continuously...

ok I see where I made an error in my reasoning now. Yeah I can see why this couldn't be solved without more data now.

Ahh put in the 48.84 instead of 48.86 and 34 instead of 32, I can't believe I managed to do that lol. Well glad you caught that mistake, glad I could help!
