I understand that it's a nonlinear relationship because R=R0(1+\alpha(T-T0)). My confusion is why does the relationship differ for two, nonohmic materials. The book depicts a graph that shows a horizontal asymptote, yet my graph looks as though I have a vertical asymptote, as well does a graph...

I'm working on a basic physics lab report (not homework) and I'm trying to understand something better. We're establishing a relation between voltage and current using Ohms law. It goes as follows: We apply different voltages to two materials and record the current in order to determine the...

Can you clarify how it is wrong? v^(-1/2)dv >>> 2*v^(1/2) when integrated, correct? ...I see how I just typed it wrong part way through before but the answer I typed is the correct one for this integration which is wrong.

I understand the v^(-1/2)*dv but I'm confused about the other side. Shouldn't it be: v^(-1/2)*dv = (-3/2)*dt? ...Even with that though when I integrate it would be (2/1)*(v^(-1/2)+v^(2/2)) from 0 to vf = -3/2t from 0 to 2. Therefore 17/4=vf from that solution...I'm definitely doing...

Problem #1. A particle is moving along a line such that when it is at the origin it has a velocity of 4m/s. If it begins to decelerate at the rate of a = (-1.5v1/2) m/s2, where v is in m/s, determine the particles position and celocity when t = 2s. Therefore the givens are: v=4 m/s when...
