    Solving a Simple Laplace Transform Equation: Tips for Beginners

    I'm new to Laplace and having slight difficulty with what looks like an obvious equation. I can do basic first and second order equations. Why is it that the seemingly easy equations are always the ones to stump you? Homework Statement \frac{dy}{dx}=-y y=2, x=0, y_{0}=2 Homework...

    How Do You Calculate the Maximum Speed of a Cart Given Its Velocity Equation?

    I guessed they weren't decimals. Hmm...this seems a lot more complicated than it looks. I must be missing something pretty fundamental to be this lost. Edit: Oh, now I've seen your edit I was understanding it perfectly well. I just got confused again. Sorry. Edit II: Sorry, should that...

    How Do You Calculate the Maximum Speed of a Cart Given Its Velocity Equation?

    I follow you up until the last equation, but I'm at a loss as to where you got those figures from. Edit: Unless that first 4 is supposed to be 3? But even then, is there a mathematical process I am missing for the final 4?

    How Do You Calculate the Maximum Speed of a Cart Given Its Velocity Equation?

    Hi I'm electrically-biassed, and we had a maths exam that was for both electrical and mechanical students. The last question on the paper was separated into two; one for electrical, one for mechanical. I did the electrical question (all about mean and RMS of an instantaneous voltage,)...

    Can I Calculate a Power Triangle with Given Voltage and Current?

    This is an enquiry into whether something is possible, so the numbers might be rubbish to work with. If I apply a voltage of v=25sin(wt+0.2rads) to a circuit, with a resultant current of i=15sin(wt-0.5rads), can I work out all three sides of a power triangle? I've been working on it for...
