    Can Substitution Simplify the Integral of (x + arcsin(x)) / sqrt(1-x^2)?

    Can I do it with UV - Integra (VdU)

    Can Substitution Simplify the Integral of (x + arcsin(x)) / sqrt(1-x^2)?

    Int (x+ arcsin (x))/(sqrt(1-x^2)) It's not working when I put U = (x+ arcsin (x)) and dU= 1/(sqrt(1-x^2) Is there anyway to solve it? Thanks

    Solving the Ball's Kinetic Energy and Frictional Work

    I don't know when to use the kinetic or when to use the rotational kinetic and since I don't have the mass of the ball here I guess it will be the rotational kinetic they are asking for, but I don't want to guess in further problems. What logic to use to know which one they are asking for?

    Calculate the kinetic energy of rotation of the earth

    a) velocity=(2*Pi*(1.5*10^11m))/(365days*24*60*60) why the 2pi? Can't I just calculated without the 2*pi, I mean isn't velocity = distance / time? b) I = 2/5 MR^2 = 2/5 ((6.0*10^24kg)(6.4*10^6m)^2) w = (2pi)/(24h*60min*60s) = 6.2831 / 86400s = 7.27 * 10^-5 rad/s and then I plug them in...

    Calculate the kinetic energy of rotation of the earth

    hehe..the question was that I wanted to know if I was right with my reasoning, but I guess I wasn't :mad:

    Calculating Height of Rolling Marble

    A marble of mass M and radius R rolls without slipping down the track on the left from a height h1. The marble then goes up the frictionless track on the right to a height h2 where h2<h1 . Find h2. I don't know how to think of this one, any hints please?

    Solving the Ball's Kinetic Energy and Frictional Work

    A billiard ball initially at rest is given a sharp blow by a cue stick. The force is horizontal and is applied at a distance 2R/3 below the centreline of the ball. The initial speed of the ball is v0 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is Mu k. a) what is the initial angular speed w0? B)...

    Calculate the kinetic energy of rotation of the earth

    Calculate the kinetic energy of rotation of the Earth about its axis, and compare it with the kinetic energy of the orbital motion of the earth’s centre of mass about the sun. Assume the Earth to be a homogeneous sphere of mass 6.0*10^24kg and radius 6.4*10^6m. The radius of the earth’s orbit is...

    How Do You Calculate the Angular Acceleration and Torque of a Merry-Go-Round?

    like in this case what would be the significant figures rule?

    Conservation of angular momentum (hard)

    you mean L = m * 800m/s * 3m and L = I*w= 4000kg.m^2 * 0.6286 rad/sec = 2513.27 kgm^2/s so 2513.27 = m * 800m/s * 3m and m = 2513.27 /(800m/s*3m)= 2513.27 / 2400 = 1.04 kg (I.m not sure of the rounding again) t = 1.04kg/0.01kg/s = 104s ?
