    What is the velocity of each ball when the rod hits the ground?

    Yes the rod hits horizontally. Do I have to consider the normal force on the mass at the floor. The Diagram is basically a vertical rod with one end on the floor and the other in the air. both ends have spherical masses attached to them.

    What is the velocity of each ball when the rod hits the ground?

    Homework Statement Two heavy balls of equal mass M are attached to the long but light metallic rod standing on the floor. The rod with the balls falls to the floor. Find the velocity of each ball at the moment when the rod hits the ground. Neglect mass of the rod and the friction between...

    What is the limit of the solution curve as x approaches infinity?

    no i have the integral down f(X) becomes y= 1/(e^-x + 2) +C; now the limit of f(x) without the c value is 1/2 which is an asnwer choice; but if i take the limit with c , which is -1/12 b/c the initial condition given is (0, 1/4) the limit becomes .41666667; this however is not an answer choice...

    Converging Power Series: Finding the Radius of Convergence for (3x+4)^n/n

    yes, so i have lim n --> oo ((3x + 4)^(n+1)/ (n +1)) * (n/ (3x +4)^n) which simplifies to lim (3x + 4) (n/ (n+1)) so is it abs value (3x+4) < 1 if it converges? but i don't think i have this right b/c none of the answer choices fit to make this statement true. a) 0 b) 1/3 c) 2/3...

    Finding the limit and a differential equation

    yeah i know... i get the equation y= 1/(e^-x + 2) +C without the c value it is 1/2 for the limit but with the c value which is -1/12 i get a limit of 5/12 which is not an answer choice... so the question becomes, does the limit depend on the c value or not?

    Converging Power Series: Finding the Radius of Convergence for (3x+4)^n/n

    i know but what do i do to get from the ratio test to the radius of convergence?

    Converging Power Series: Finding the Radius of Convergence for (3x+4)^n/n

    [b]1. The radius of convergence of the power series the sum n=1 to infinity of (3x+4)^n / n is a 0 b 1/3 c 2/3 d 3/4 e 4/3 [b]2. the sum n=1 to infinity of (3x+4)^n / n [b]3. no idea do the ration test to get abs value 3x+4 < 1 ?

    What is the limit of the solution curve as x approaches infinity?

    HELP! limit and differentials 1. i can't seem to figure this out... if the differential equation dy/dx= y-2y^2 has a solution curve y=f(x) contianing point (o, 0.25) then the limit as x approaches infinity of f(x) is a)no limit b. 0 c. 0.25 d. 0.5 e. 2 he...

    Finding the limit and a differential equation

    i can't seem to figure this out... if the differential equation dy/dx= y-2y^2 has a solution curve y=f(x) contianing point (0, 0.25) , then the limit as x approaches infinity of f(x) is a)no limit b. 0 c. 0.25 d. 0.5 e. 2 i usually just separate the variables and find...

    How Do You Solve AP Physics C Mechanics 2002 Free Response Problem 2?

    sorry about that so for a i think i have it right since its just asking for the rotational inertia of the 4 spokes. they give the formula for each spoke as ½ ML2; and since the answers are all variables i am assuming its just ½ ML2 + ½ ML2 + ½ ML2 +½ ML2 = total rotational inertia for the...

    How Do You Solve AP Physics C Mechanics 2002 Free Response Problem 2?

    Can anyone help me with problem 2 on the 2002 free response section for mechanics: The cart is mass m and has four solid rubber tires each of mass m/4 and radius r. Each tire has rotational inertia ½ ML2. The cart is released from rest and rolls without slipping from the top of an inclined...
