I thought of that, but I am entirely uncertain how to add that in because we won't know the potential of gravity unless we know the final length, right? How would I add this in?

A mass of 0.5 kg hangs motionless from a vertical spring whose length is 0.80 m and whose unstretched length is 0.40 m. Next the mass is pulled down to where the spring has a length of 1.00 m and given an initial speed upwards of 1.5 m/s. What is the maximum length of the spring during the...

What dimension is the vector [0,0,0] in? For example, I know that vector [o] is in dimension zero, but would [0,0,0] be in that too? Or, is it classified as being in R3 since there are three components?

Okay, I feel like I am just missing something that should be very easy to see, but I can't seem to wrap my head around this concept. Can anyone explain to me why a force perpendicular to the momentum only changes the direction of the momentum and not the magnitude? By my logic, if...

Homework Statement Find the second derivative of x^3+y^3=1 by implicit differentiation. The Attempt at a Solution I found the first derivative to be x^2/y^2. Do I then use the first derivative and take the derivative of that? I tried to do this, but got stuck on what to do.
