f(x)= a(0) + a1(x-x(0)) + a2(x-x(1))(x-x(0)) I am having a hard time understanding the intuition of (x-x(1))(x-x(0)) being multiplied by the coefficient a(2). For example, if I added a(3) to the equation, I would have had to multiply a(3) by (x-x(0))(x-x(1))(x-x(2)). I've researched the Mean...

Well I wanted to prove that the axis didn't need to be rotated. It certainly makes things easier if you do, but I wanted to break everything down into components to get a better understanding of how all of the forces are represented in the problem by using vectors. I want a fool proof way to...

∑F(x)=Fcos(5.7)-F(Resistance)cos(5.7)-F(Normal)cos(84.3)-mg*cos(84.3)=ma ∑F(y)=Fsin(5.7)-F(Resistance)sin(5.7)+F(Normal)sin(84.3)-mg*sin(84.3)=ma I uploaded a free-body diagram.

The engine exerts a traction force of F(1/20) of the weight of the train. Not 1120

Homework Statement The 160-Mg train travels with a speed of 80 kmlh when it starts to climb the slope. If the engine exerts a traction force F of 1120 of the weight of the train and the rolling resistance F D is equal to 1/500 of the weight of the train, determine the deceleration of the train...

How does a modern clock signal sychronize a computer command? What does pipeline mean? Lets say that the cpu being considered is an intel product.

How did scientists/chemists experimentally determine how many electrons an atom has? Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, etc... I'm wandering what physical experiment would tell you how many electrons an atom has?

Could someone give me an applied math example of the uniqueness theorem in the physical sciences (physics, chemistry, biology)? Because I am not sure of its application. I understand that there is an interval (x,y)~intial conditions.

Can someone give me a qualitative example of the uniqueness theorem of a first order linear differential equation? I have read the definition, but I am not 100% positive of what it means in regards to an initial value problem. Im confused about what a unique solution is when/if you change the...

What is the logic behind equating differential equations to zero? For example the equation y''-5y'+6y=0 Because it can just as easily be written y''-5y'=-6y I am interested in the meaning of why if we sum y''+(-5y')+6y equals zero. What is the relationship of its second derivative, first...

This may be vague, so I apologize. I am interested in applied mathematics, so my question is about the process a scientist or engineer uses to determine what differential equation to use for a non-linear process. I am not familiar enough with describing non-linear processes to be able to...

How do you calculate an object in 4 dimensions? Like the 4 dimensional cube. I understand that a point is the beginning of a line and a line is the beginning of a plane. From there a plane translates into a 3 dimensional object. A 3 dimensional object translates into a 4 dimensional thing... I...

Are you an engineer tygerdawg?

I suffer from really bad OCD & Anxiety. I would love nothing more that to be part of the research team. I would love to do all kinds of medical research but I am an engineer, not a biochem/chem/biology major.
