    Calculus: Finding First Derivatives for Functions - Homework Help

    Hi, I was hoping someone could help me out with my homework set. I have done a lot of the questions, and it would help if someone could tell me if I have done them correctly. Thanks! :) Q1: Find first derivatives for the following functions (a)g(s,t)=sin(st^3)...

    Kinematics of Rigid Bodies question

    @ Andrien Well, the pole accelerates to the left (opposite the direction of the car) at 0.9m/s^2, and accelerates downward at 9.8m/s^2. These are both constants, but I don't know which to use in the formula. It can't possibly as simple as angular vel=(0^2+2*0.9*90)^1/2

    Kinematics of Rigid Bodies question

    Homework Statement The uniform 3.6m pole is hinged to the truck bed and released from the vertical position as the truck starts from rest with than acceleration of 0.9m/s^2. If the acceleration remains constant during the motion of the pole, calculate the angular velocity of the pole as it...

    Dynamics Coursework; Velocity/Acceleration/Kinetic Friction

    I also found the third equation to use as 0=2Aa+2Ac. Using this I found T, and substituted it into find Aa and Ac. However, by this method Aa and Ac and equal with opposite signs (as I should have predicted from the above formula). This is incorrect, so I'm stumped again.

    Mech. engineering; Homework Help; Velocity&BrakeForce

    Thankyou Jay! I worked out the first part using the kinematic eqn Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2AD and got that Vf = 38.34m/s. Moving to parts 2 and 3, I am a little bit stuck. I believe that I am supposed to use this 'energy eqn': U1-2 + T1 + Vg1 + Ve1 = T2 + Vg2 + Ve2 or U1-2 = deltaT + deltaVg +...
