    Solving Logarithmic Equations: How to Find the Value of x

    I know this is an old post but incase people find it in the future: rule 1) logbx + logby = logbxy rule 2) x (x + a) = x2 + ax rule 3) solving quadratic equations

    Projectile Motion bombarding cancer tumors

    maybe you could try working backwards to see what you've done wrong. i think that you've used some values in the wrong places

    Young's modulus of spider thread

    Yeah, i was taking the radius as the radius of the web. so I've done this: nb: s=spider p=person a) What is the fractional increase in the thread’s length caused by the spider? Y_s = 4.7x10^9 N/m^2 m = 0.26g = 2.6x10^-^4 kg r_s = 9.8x10^-^6 m F = Y(\frac{A_o}{L_o})\Delta L => mg =...

    Young's modulus of spider thread

    Homework Statement Q 1. A spider with a mass of 0.26 g hangs vertically by one of its threads. The thread has a Young’s modulus of 4.7 x 10^9 N/m2 and a radius of 9.8 x 10^- ^6 m. a) What is the fractional increase in the thread’s length caused by the spider? b) Suppose a 76 kg person...

    Lance Deal's Angular Velocity & Centripetal Force in Rotational Motion

    thanks i didn't realized i'd overlooked that information so: a) \omega = \frac{v}{r} = \frac{28.8}{2} = \underline{14.4rad/s} b) f_cp = ma_cp = \frac{mv^{2}}{r} = mr\omega^{2} = 7.26 x 2 x 14.4^{2} =3010.8672 = \underline{3.01 x 10^{3}N} c) F=mg F=f_cp = 3011N, g=9.81m/s^{2}...

    Lance Deal's Angular Velocity & Centripetal Force in Rotational Motion

    On his last throw of the Atlanta Olympics, Lance Deal launched the hammer 81.12m, good enough for a silver medal. The hammer is thrown by rotating the body in a circle, building up rotational speed until releasing it and letting the rotational velocity change to translational velocity. The...

    How to calculate torque for bicep in rotational motion?

    so if i change sin 20 to cos 20 (or sin 110) i get: \tau1 = Fsin = mgsin = 1.1 x -9.81 x cos 20 x 0.15 = -1.521Nm \tau2 = Fsin = mgsin = 20 x -9.81 x cos 20 x 0.3 = -55.310Nm -3 = 1 + 2 = -1.521 + -55.310 = -56.831Nm therefore 3 = 56.831Nm or 56.831Nm in an anticlockwise...

    How to calculate torque for bicep in rotational motion?

    ok so \tau1 = Fsin\theta = mgsin\theta = 1.1 x -9.81 x sin 20 x 0.15 = -0.5536Nm \tau2 = Fsin\theta = mgsin\theta = 20 x -9.81 x sin 20 x 0.3 = -20.131Nm -\tau3 = \tau1 + \tau2 = -0.5536 + -20.131 = -20.685Nm therefore \tau3 = 20.685Nm or 20.685Nm in an anticlockwise direction

    How to calculate torque for bicep in rotational motion?

    sorry i forgot about the 3rd force \Sigma\tau = 0 \tau1 + \tau2 + \tau3 = 0 \tau1 + \tau2 = -\tau3 but I'm a little unsure about the force of \tau2 (which i have as the object) is it: -\tau3 = \tau1 + \tau2 = m1gx1 + m2gx2 = 1.1 x 9.81 x 0.15 + 20 x 9.81 0.3 = 60.47865N \tau3 =...

    Physics Homework for answers/also explain how to do them

    2) a) plot a graph on a piece of paper with speed/velocity on the side and time on the bottom (i'd just put 1hr, 2hr, 3hr etc for each of the velocities [unless you got given something]) b) those 3 equations that you have are just different ways of writing the same thing. anyhow you have two...
