I am working on a simulation where a ball is dropped from a random height with some x component of velocity and y velocity being zero. When the ball hits the surface it should bounce off with a spin. Here's what I've thought up of so far: In the first case the \omega is zero. When the ball...

Homework Statement The box slides down the slope described by the equation y = 0.05x^2 m , where x is in meters. If the box has components of velocity and acceleration of vx = 3 m/s and ax = -1.5 m/s^2 at x = 5 m determine the y component of the velocity and acceleration Homework...

I'm having a difficult time understanding how the coulomb came to be around as a unit of charge. The definition that a coulomb is equal to the charge of 6.24151×10^18 electrons and that the charge of one electron is -1.602176487(40)×10^19 seems to me like circular reasoning. The other definition...

Check out this textbook Elementary Calculus: An infinitesimal Approach http://www.math.wisc.edu/~keisler/calc.html The approach is slightly different. I highly recommend reading the first chapter carefully before continuing with the rest of the text as instead of conventional limits he uses...
