So how would I do this if the rabbit has 1/2 the velocity? how would i set up an equation for how X, and Y will change?

Consider a rabbit which sits a distance L east of a dog. At time t = 0 the rabbit starts running north (in y-direction) at constant speed v. The dog starts chasing the rabbit at constant speed 2v, and always changes its running direction towards the rabbit. The rabbit always runs north and never...

Hey all, I am trying to work on my programming skills. I write programs in C, and I am attempting to write a computer algorithm such that for some small t. Let's call it dt we get the position of a dog, and the position of a rabbit, as the dog chases the rabbit. This is being asked on a...

no its an online problem... and the first case would be correct yes? also, thanks for the help

ok so what I tried to do is I took mvrsin(theta)=I(omega) then substituting in and solving for omega i get (omega)=mvrsin(theta)/((1/12)MD^2+mr^2) where m=.2kg M=5kg v=20m/s r=2.2/2=1.1m D=2.2m theta=70deg I thought this was right but I am not getting the correct answer I get...

ok so angular momentum where we have L=I(omega), but then the momentum coming in would be 20(.02)? also does I=mr^2/12

so then am I supposed to use m1*u1+m2*u2=(m1+m2)v2?

Homework Statement A uniform thin rod of length L=2.2 m and mass 5 kg can rotate in a horizontal plane about a vertical axis through its center. The rod is at rest when a 0.2 kg ball of putty, moving in the horizontal plane of the rod, hits and sticks to one end. As viewed from above, the...

no I don't know it, or maybe I just don't recognize it... When i broke it down I got 1/n!+1/(n+1)!+...+1/(n+1)!+1/n!

Homework Statement let f[k]=1/k!, then let fsub2[k]=f[k] convoluted with f[k] what is a simple formula for fsubm[k]? Homework Equations f[k] convoluted with f[k] = summation from negative infinity to infinity of 1/m! * 1/(n-m)! The Attempt at a Solution I tried a base case, but...

So in class today we were talking about Normal Force, and I was really confused on one diagram. Here is a link about the question, but I don't understand why n<mg because if it is less than mg wouldn't that make it go through the earth? not sure but help understanding would be great...

Yes, i know the definition, however i don't know how to show that it has to be linear, or that the dot product has to be of that form...
