    Can Formulas for Acceleration on an Inclined Plane be Written without Friction?

    thanks, but I was only giving some points in the right direction. i was hoping that would have physiker99 think some .. in the future I will keep this in mind and just do the work for them ... i am new to the thread and was under the impression that the questions are not just answered with a...

    Can Formulas for Acceleration on an Inclined Plane be Written without Friction?

    I would draw the free body diagrams for both objects first ... then remember "In the absence of friction and other forces (tension, applied, etc.), the acceleration of an object on an incline is the value of the parallel component (m*g*sine of angle) divided by the mass (m). This yields the...

    MATLAB Simulation Code: Frequency & Phase Response of Quantum Well Laser

    Plotting the Frequency Response Using MATLAB The frequency response of a system is the major way of characterizing how a system behaves in the frequency domain. It is important to understand the frequency characteristics of a given system rather than time domain characteristics alone for many...

    Second Derivative of 3sec\sqrt{x}

    I would say yes .. take the derivative again .. I think d^2y/d^2x, should read d2y/dx2 ... I have the first derivative to be f' = (3/2) ((sec\sqrt{}x)\cdot(tan\sqrt{}x))/\sqrt{}x

    Manning's coeff to absolute roughness

    Does anyone have the equation that the absolute roughness is expressed in terms of Manning coefficient, with the reference included? I have found one from Webber 1971. n = k1/6/26 where: n = applicable Manning roughness coefficient, k = absolute roughness (mm) Reference :Webber...
