    Python Solve Python 3 Question Homework: Ear Infection Diagnosis

    Homework Statement You're going to create some medical diagnoses software. You are going to ask the user if they have a fever, a rash, if they have a stuffy nose, and if their ear hurts, and give one of the following responses: Don't have a fever and don't have a stuffy nose: Hypochondriac...

    Differential equation that describes the voltage with respect to time

    In class we discussed RLC circuits in series. My homework problem, however, has me analyzing an RLC circuit in series. a) Write the differential equation that describes the voltage with respect to time. b) Find the natural frequency of oscillation and the damping constant of the circuit...

    Car Acceleration: Top Speed, Travel Distance & Mile-Long Race

    See what I mean? Get ahead of myself and flustered and try to make a certain scenario fit. Then for part c I am given acceleration, the time for that acceleration, and top speed. Plug and chug then. Very helpful Al.

    Car Acceleration: Top Speed, Travel Distance & Mile-Long Race

    I figured that's what it stood for I seem to have a habit of jumping to conclusions like that early on in the problem and confuse my self because I get determined to make that scenario be the case (right or wrong.) So part a is understood. Part b would be the distance equation setting t=∞?

    Car Acceleration: Top Speed, Travel Distance & Mile-Long Race

    So what I'm getting is that: v(t)=vm(1-e-at) We've said that the max value for (1-e-at) = 1 So that means at max v(t)=vm In order to get that t=∞.

    Car Acceleration: Top Speed, Travel Distance & Mile-Long Race

    Nevermind. Duh. I was thinking something completely different. So what is the a in the exponent? Acceleration due to gravity? If so then the max value would be 1, but that doesn't make sense.

    Car Acceleration: Top Speed, Travel Distance & Mile-Long Race

    Increase in time=Increase in speed. Max value of 1-e-at = 0

    Car Acceleration: Top Speed, Travel Distance & Mile-Long Race

    I know I won't get a numerical value as the top speed. I just do not know what path to take to manipulate v(t) to get top speed.

    Car Acceleration: Top Speed, Travel Distance & Mile-Long Race

    Hello all, here is my problem: A car accelerates, starting from rest, with a speed that is given by: v(t)=vm(1-e-at) a) What is the top speed of the car? Explain why. b) How far does the car travel in time t? c) Suppose the car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.9s, and has a...
