    "Zero Displacement at Time t=? - Solve for t

    initial velocity v(t) = \frac{At^{2}}{2} - \frac{Bt^{3}}{3} + v_{o} initial displacement x(t) = \frac{At^{3}}{6} - \frac{Bt^{4}}{12} + x_{o} at t = 0; For v(t): v(0) = v_{o} since v_{o} = 0 at time t = 0 v(0) = 0 For x(t): x(0) = x_{o} since x_{o} = 0 at time t = 0 x(0) = 0when : x(t) =...

    "Zero Displacement at Time t=? - Solve for t

    v(t) is velocity dv/dt = At - Bt^2 dv = dt(At - Bt^2) v(t) = \frac{At^{2}}{2} - \frac{Bt^{3}}{3} + Constant x(t) is displacement dx(t)/dt = (At^2)/2 - (Bt^3)/3 + Constant dx(t) = ((At^2)/2 - (Bt^3)/3 + Constant)dt x(t) = \frac{At^{3}}{6} - \frac{Bt^{4}}{12} + Constant

    "Zero Displacement at Time t=? - Solve for t

    Homework Statement A body experiences acceleration "a" given by the expression a=At-Bt^2 where A and B are constants and t is time. If at time t=0, the body has zero displacement and velocity, at what next value of time does the body again have zero displacement?Homework Equations a is in...

    Calculating Work using the Integral Method | Density of Water Formula

    found the answer thanks for the advice slice of cylindrical element anywhere inside cylinder dV = 36{\pi}dy dF = 32.2(62.4(\pi{36})dy) work done from this differential element to the top: then (distance = 15 - y) dW = 32.2(62.4(\pi{36})dy)(15-y) W = \int_{0}^{15} dW etc. W = 25564974 lb-ft...

    My thesis group mate is an A student but doesn't work at all

    He doesn't show up in our group project(circuit testing, documentation, software etc.). My batch mates think he's the smart kid. He only relies on Test scores, but when it comes to projects (not only thesis) he doesn't show up/ work at all. He even gives us the worst excuse we've ever heard...

    Signals and Systems: Determine if the signal is periodic or nonperiodic

    your right i do have a glitch 1. = \cos(\frac{n\pi}{8})\cos^2(\frac{n\pi}{8}) = \cos(\frac{n\pi}{8})\frac{1}{2}(1+\cos(\frac{2n\pi}{8})) = \frac{1}{2}(\cos(\frac{n\pi}{8}) + \cos(\frac{n\pi}{8})\cos(\frac{2n\pi}{8})) = \frac{1}{2}\cos(\frac{n\pi}{8}) +...

    Signals and Systems: Determine if the signal is periodic or nonperiodic

    btw the equations are not a continuous signal but discrete signal sry i didnt mention it in the 1st post 1.) the only problem is i need to find the Least common multiple of the three to find the total number of samples in the period or N = 1/f N1 = 16, N2 = 16 , N3 = 16/3 k/m=N1/N2 = 16 /...
