    Calculating Energy Dissipation in Free Fall with Drag Force

    Homework Statement Need to energy dissipation by the drap force on a ball in free fall from height h and when it has reached terminal speed, assuming it happens before it hits thr ground. Drag force has magnitude bv^2, where b is drag coefficient and v is instantaneous speed of the ball...

    Solving Satellite Speed Problem: Draw Path for Faster & Slower Orbits

    Homework Statement When a satellite is at the desired altitude over the equator or Jupiter its velocity has the correst direction but the speed is (a) slightly faster that the correct speed for a circular orbit of the radius and (b) is slighly slower than the correct speed for a circular orbit...

    Finding a relationship between functions

    I posted on this tangent a little while ago but I've moved forward and was looking for some input. I have two exponential equations each is described by a different variable (n and v respectively): y=1.44E-24*exp(46.22n)+2.006E-8 y=2.88*exp(-2.4v)-3.009E-5 Since the end constants are so...

    A.: Exploring Coherent States & Perfect Solutions

    I just watched the latest episode of NUMB3RS which brought up a very interesting concept called Coherent States. From what I got from the show this concept has something to do with data which contains no outliers and no anomalies, therefore pointing to a perfect solution. In the show it was...

    Dividing Exponential Functions: A Guide

    Hmm I will try your method Werg but like you say I am not sure it is what I am looking for. I am also trying to make both individual functions into linear expressions by taking the natural log of both sides however I run into natrual log rules which keep this from succeeding. Any ideas in the...

    Dividing Exponential Functions: A Guide

    How would one go about dividing two exponential functions. Basically I have f(x)=k*g(x) So to solve for k, k=f(x)/g(x) How would one accomplish this when the functions are both within the format: A*e^(Cx)+B Thanks

    AN implementation of gauss's law

    Thanks alot, I think I can get parts b through c from here!

    AN implementation of gauss's law

    hmm, well i thought i did that since if charge density = Q/(4pi*L*R1^2) and the volume is pi*L*r^2 then multiplying the two would give (Q*r^2)/(4*R1^2) ok, now I take this Q(enc) and put it Gauss to obtain: EA=(Q*r^2)/(4*R1^2*Eo) but you said Q is not present? In any case I continued from this...

    AN implementation of gauss's law

    Ok ok I'm starting to see it, so i would have (permittivity of free space= Eo) int(E) x dA = Q(enc)/Eo EA= (r^2/R1^2)Q/Eo then dividing both sides by the area would give E? and if so would I need to use the left side of the equation divided by the area of the face of the cylinder plus the...

    AN implementation of gauss's law

    To state my current attempt: for part (a) i know p=Q/4*pi*permittivity of free space*R1^2*L V(enclosed)=pi*r^2*L so p*V(enclosed)= the ratio (r^2/R1^2)Q which is the total Q enclosed

    AN implementation of gauss's law

    A long solid nonconducting cylinder or radius R1 is uniformly charged with a charge density (p). It is surrounded by a concentric cylindrical tube or innder radius R2 and outer radius R3, it also has uniform charge density, p. Before I can go on i need to find the electric field as a function of...

    Pricing and Worth of Rare Books: Seeking Advice

    Thats a really good point about second hand stores. Only thing I have access too is garage-style sales, there is a saddening dearth of second-hand dealers in my area so online is my main source of literature.

    Pricing and Worth of Rare Books: Seeking Advice

    Thanks for the input, I see what you're saying about physics texts, makes sense. also found another possibility http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=4-9781114767423-0 ooo the options :rofl:
