    What is the largest mass the sun can have without destroying the Earth?

    This is one of the questions on a small exercise but I don't understand it. I thought that the Earth is in orbit because the mass of the Earth and the Sun combine perfectly such that the orbital velocity is exactly the same as the pull of the sun so the Earth is forever falling towards it. If...

    Find velocity required to reach a certain height given only height and gravity

    Darn it I forgot the acceleration is negative in this case, this changes everything. Thanks.

    Find velocity required to reach a certain height given only height and gravity

    On the surface of the sun the acceleration due to gravity is approx 0.25km/s². A mass of gas forming a solar prominence rises from the sun's surface. If only gravity is considered, what must its initial upward velocity be, if it is to reach a height of 24000km above the surface? I can't...

    Integration with x denominator plus a few antiderivative concept questions

    What do you mean? Would 2 dt become a single term? -ln|1+2t| + 2t + C is supposed to be the antiderivative s(t) and the following is solving for C at s(0). I thought it's only if n is not -1 because then it would become x^0 / 0, then you have to use ln|x|? Sorry I missed a lot of things...

    Integration with x denominator plus a few antiderivative concept questions

    Oh I forgot to say √ is supposed to be the integration symbol.

    Integration with x denominator plus a few antiderivative concept questions

    Homework Statement v(t) = (-2 / (1 + 2t)) + 2 I must find the antiderivative s(t) such that s(0) = 5. The Attempt at a Solution u = 1 + 2t du/dt = 2 dt = du/2 √(-2 / (1 + 2t dt)) + 2 =√(-2u^-1 du/2) + 2 =√(-u^-1 du) + 2 = -ln|1+2t| + 2t + C At t = 0 -ln(1 +...

    How to find work done in exact values?

    10N force acting in the direction of the vector (1, 1) moves an object from P (-2, 1) to Q (5, 6), calculate the work done. The Attempt at a Solution I can do this question correctly except I only know how to do it using decimals but the answer is in exact values of 60√2J. I can't figure out...

    How to find the antiderivative of 4/(1+2x)^2?

    Oh ok that makes a lot more sense. Thanks so much for your help. Edit: I didn't see the rest of the question and now I'm even more confused. I edited the original post to show the entire question.

    How to find the antiderivative of 4/(1+2x)^2?

    Homework Statement I have to find the antiderivative of 4/(1+2x)² New question: Find s(t) 2. Given variables and equations a(t) = 4/(1+2x)² v(0) = 0 s(0) = 5 The Attempt at a Solution ∫4(1+2x)-2 = 4∫(1+2x)-2 = 4[(1+2x)-1/-1] = -4/(1+2x) But the correct answer has a -2...
