So, acceleration nor, gravitational potential play into the derivation of an equation of motion such as this? The following problem on my worksheet is the same as this one except it is given that the potential function is V(x) = A*x, which leads me to believe that it is crucial in developing...

Homework Statement An object is moving in one-dimensional space with a potential funciton V(x) = constant. Find the equation of motion, x(t). Use x_0 as the initial position and v_0 as the initial velocity at t=0. Homework Equations initial position = x_0 initial velocity = v_0 The Attempt...

Thanks for your help, I finally figured it out. I think I was just miscalculating and making some stupid mistakes.

Okay. Would this mean that q_max and Q_final are equal? I'm inclined to say no because I keep reaching the same (wrong) calculation. I can't figure out any way to find them without eliminating them from both sides of the equation. I keep getting that t=RC, which I know is wrong. What am I not...

Homework Statement A 1.47 micro F capacitor is charged through a 123 Ohm resistor and then discharged through the same resistor by short-circuiting the battery. While the capacitor is being charged, find the time for the charge on its plates to reach 1/e of its maximum value. Homework...

Okay, I see what you're saying. What about determining the piecewise form of a function? Is there any systematic way to go about that?

Hello All, First off, I will apologize in advance for being so ignorant and scatterbrained. Please humor me. In my Calc. I class, we are currently covering the continuity of functions. Our current problem set consists of determining where a given function is NOT continuous. My professor...

I found my answer key. It says the correct answer is 36544 N, so this implies that they are looking for a real numerical value in Newtons rather a symbolic representation.

In my understanding, N = Avogadro's constant, m = mass of one mole of the gas, v = velocity of one molecule of the gas, and d = the length of one side of the container, which in this case is 20 cm. Please correct me if I am mistaken about this or if I'm approaching this problem the wrong way...

The problem I'm working on is verbatim as follows: "A sealed cubical container 20.0 cm on a side contains three times Avogadro's number of molecules at a temperature of 20.0 degrees Celsius. Find the force exerted by the gas on one of the walls of the container." So, I would assume that I need...
