    Change the order of triple integration

    Mark44: Hmm, how would I check without a function to integrate?

    Change the order of triple integration

    Mark44: Thank you for your tip :) I'm actually not leaving anything out at all. Many of these questions are vague (and rather annoying). I think I might have it, but am not sure: \int_{0}^{8}\int_{0}^{\sqrt[3]{x}}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{z}}dydzdx. However, this seems way to easy to be true...

    Change the order of triple integration

    Homework Statement Rewrite \int_{0}^{2}\int_{0}^{y^3}\int_{0}^{y^2}dzdxdy as an integral with order dydzdx. Homework Equations N/A The Attempt at a Solution Honestly, I got as far as sketching it: and after sketching it, I'm lost... I can't figure out how to set z or y, but...

    How can I improve my approach to solving physics problems?

    Mark44: In class we never really had many (if any) word problems on tests. Maybe some in homework, but I'd usually have to look at a solution to get an idea of how to solve it. I can't remember a-lot of the related rates part of calc 1, we might not have covered it that well. I agree with your...

    How can I improve my approach to solving physics problems?

    Hey, I'm in my Physics 1 course now, and am having issues. I've done well in math, and will be entering Calculus 3 next semester. I usually have no issues doing calculations at all. The problem I seem to be having is with physics problems in general. Sometimes I have to derive a totally new...

    Applying Newton's Laws: Crate on an Inclined Ramp

    Thank you for your response, it seems I did not understand the relationship between forces correctly. I've got it now :)

    Applying Newton's Laws: Crate on an Inclined Ramp

    Well, Fn = mg (since there's no acceleration), so that's not hard to find. I'm assuming Fy isn't either, and I figured it was only trig, but whenever I try with trig, I can't seem to get anywhere near -217.8476

    Applying Newton's Laws: Crate on an Inclined Ramp

    I apologize, I left out a part. The answer that is given for that part is: Fy = -217.8476. I did set Fnety to 0 and solve that way, but when I do that I get: Fy = 838.2589. So there is something I'm missing here :frown:

    Applying Newton's Laws: Crate on an Inclined Ramp

    Homework Statement In the figure, a crate of mass m = 96 kg is pushed at a constant speed up a frictionless ramp (θ = 27°) by a horizontal force F. The positive direction of an x-axis is up the ramp, and the positive direction of a y-axis is perpendicular to the ramp. (a) What is the magnitude...

    Projectile Motion Problem with thrown ball off roof

    What you had said triggered an idea, and after playing around with the equations, I found out that I had misunderstood the Constant Accelloration equations all along.. well, I do now :biggrin: Thank you guys for your help!

    Projectile Motion Problem with thrown ball off roof

    So, I'm either using the wrong formula, or I need to find the initial velocity (or angle)? I don't know of any other formulas (other than v = v_{\circ}+at), and I have no idea how I would even obtain the angle up there. Could you possibly give me a hint? (or another one :wink: ) Thanks for...

    Projectile Motion Problem with thrown ball off roof

    Homework Statement A ball is thrown leftward from the left edge of the roof, at height h above the ground. The ball hits the ground 1.50s later, at distance d=25.0m from the building and at angle \theta =60^ {\circ} with the horizontal. (a) Find h. What are the (b) Magnitude and (c)...

    Constant Acceleration involving two identical objects

    I went on ahead with what I had and got it wrong. But the second time around (it gives you new values), I concentrated on the green car, and only used the red car to get the time, and I got the correct answer. Thanks for your help! :biggrin:

    Constant Acceleration involving two identical objects

    Homework Statement a red car and a green car, identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to an x axis. At time t = 0, the red car is at xr = 0 and the green car is at xg = 250 m. If the red car has a constant velocity of 23.0 km/h, the cars pass each...
