    Trajectory Motion Using Calculus

    So, the "second derivative of displacement s" (the "acceleration a") is equal to 2A. So, what is the coefficient A in s=At^2+Bt+C? It would be 1. But where are you going with this? Let me just throw some dummy values out there. Say my initial velocity is 15 meters/second and the...

    Trajectory Motion Using Calculus

    To see what the coefficient of t^2 represents, take two derivatives of the displacement s, written as s=At^2+Bt+C, with respect to t. Ok, the first derivative would be 2At + B and the second derivative would be 2A. I'm not quite sure of the consequences of that, but would you mind helping me...

    Trajectory Motion Using Calculus

    Oops. I apologize, I just realized this probably is in the wrong forum section. I didn't see the sticky note at first. Sorry never posted here before. Could a moderator move this to the proper forum?

    Trajectory Motion Using Calculus

    At this point in my project I'm merely trying to work out the correct formula to put together to find the x and y components of a trajectory traveling in a parabollic path. My teacher showed me two different forms and said for me to try to figure out which one was best for my specific...

    A Commuter Diode Explanation Problem

    I have been trying to figure how a commuter diode effectively works in a circuit with a coil. I know that once the electric/magnetic field collapses in the coil after the current is cut to it that it induces a current in the opposite direction on the diode, which can only travel one way. But...
