I essentially know how to find eigenvalues and thus eigenvectors, though when solving a problem about diagonalization I do not know how to order them (as in, I can find all the eigenvectors but do not know which order to place them into find my X that diagonalizes my A) In the examples of my...

bump, I really need help on this for tomorrow please.

Homework Statement A truck loaded with cannonball watermelons stops suddenly to avoid running over the edge of a washed-out bridge (Fig. P4.64). The quick stop causes a number of melons to fly off the truck. One melon rolls over the edge with an initial speed vi = 12.0 m/s in the horizontal...

Thanks for the help, but I'm sorry to say I'm still a little bit lost on that...

Homework Statement The acceleration of a marble in a certain fluid is proportional to the speed of the marble squared, and is given (in SI units) by a = -3.00v^2 for v > 0. If the marble enters this fluid with a speed of 1.50 m/s, how long will it take before the marble's speed is reduced to...
