    Solving for x (this should be easy but somehow I keep messing it up)

    Oh, THANK YOU! I tried using substitution to check but yeah since it's so messy I probably messed up somewhere. Thank you so much! This problem was really starting to freak me out. Thank you, eumayang, for cleaning it up! I tried converting my answer to the book's answer but I was really...

    Solving for x (this should be easy but somehow I keep messing it up)

    Intro: I'm starting college this fall. I asked one of my professors if we had a textbook and he said that there's an online version and I should read a bit of it if I wanted to. On the first chapter they were talking about simple (I mean really simple algebra, this is a vector geometry...

    Finding the time using the acceleration (forces)

    awesome :D thank you! sorry >.< the reason why i put it in advanced is because I'm taking ap physics right now >.< i didn't know where to put it

    Finding the time using the acceleration (forces)

    Homework Statement Joey is now on a raft in the ocean, try to sail home. The raft + Joey have a total mass of 195kg. The ocean current produceds a force of 60N eastwaard and the wind produces a force of 95N at 80 degrees. Find the acceleration of the raft (magnitude and direction). If these...

    Calculus: Rates of Change of Cone: height and radius

    Homework Statement A water tank the shape of an inverted circular cone with a base radius of 2m and height of 4m. if water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 2m^3/min, find the rate at which the water level is rising when the water is 3m deep. dv/dt = 2m^3/min h = 3m r = h/2...

    Finding the Work done on a Ride?

    actually no >.> my previous questions used the sin when finding height but when i looked up the formula for work with angles it gave me cos. can you tell me why?

    How to Calculate Work Done by an Escalator?

    I have a similar problem like this so if I was to solve this problem would it go like this: Work=Fsin(theta)D ?

    Calculating the Speed on a Roller Coaster

    ohhh okay 14 and 12 m represented the height so then: 14 +12 = 26 so then 26 x 2 x 9.81 = 510 square root of 510 = 23m/s so is 23 m/s the final velocity?

    Calculating the Speed on a Roller Coaster

    it says calculate their speed after they have ridden the first 75m of track, and then you said it would be better to use the overall height
