    Engineering Careers in materials science & engineering

    Hey, I am currently going to a community college nearby Syracuse University and I want to transfer into there. I didn't get the best gpa in the fall semester (below 2.0), but this semester will be about 2.5 - 3.5. Looking at 3.0 so far. I don't know if my cumulative will be above 2.5 but I want...

    Coulomb's Law regarding theta and plotting

    Homework Statement In lab, there was a string with a charged ball, and another charged ball moved closer to it. The ball's repelled and we had all sorts of data to calculate. I did a graph of the D vs 1/R^2 and the points fell almost right on. However, towards the end of that line, the...

    Find Limit of Vector: i+(Sin(4t))/(4t)+e^(-5t)k

    Find the limit (if it exists). (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) lim t → 0 e^9t i + (Sin(4t))/(4t) j + e^(-5t) k My approach was to plug in 0 and get i+k but that didn't go through with webassign. So I tried the DNE answer because maybe since the y could be undefined, the whole...

    Two-Thirds Point Between Vectors

    Yeah, I got it after that last post of mine >_<. Sometimes I'm used to thinking so complex that I forget about just visualizing the concept first lol. Thanks a whole bunch :D

    Two-Thirds Point Between Vectors

    a little more push? lol We learned about tip-to-tail method. no tip-to-tip that i know of

    Two-Thirds Point Between Vectors

    The question is: Use vectors to find the point that lies two-thirds of the way from P to Q. P: (1,2,5) Q:(6,9,5) I tried finding the distance, then multiplying by 2/3 but obviously that will yield a scaler. Tried multiplying 2/3 by every coordinate then add them? That didn't work. I am...

    How to Derive Parametric Equations for a Curtate Cycloid?

    A wheel radius a rolls along a line without slipping. The curve traced by a point P that is b units from the center (b < a) is called a curtate cycloid (see figure). Use the angle θ to find a set of parametric equations for this curve. I went through the book, went to the math lab at...
