    Spherical coordinates rewrite help

    no, I've never seen jacobian's. I know the name and have heard them mentioned, but have never seen them It says home work, buts it on the bottom of a test review, its not something to turn in, i can post the entire test review if you don't believe me, where it says it at the top of the page...

    Spherical coordinates rewrite help

    Homework Statement Let f(x,y,z) be a continuous function. To rewrite f(x,y,z) as a function of spherical coordinates, the conversion x-rcos(\theta), y=rsin(\theta), and z=rcos(\varphi). Suppose S is a region in 3 dimensions. How would you rewrite _{\int\int\int}s f(x,y,z)dV as the integral of a...

    How Far Does a Skier Jump at 15° Launch and 50° Slope?

    ok, my times up anyways but i still want to figure it out. how do i solve for t in the y direction. cause in m equation i still have d right? i know the quadratic formule is x equals negative b plus or minus the sqr root of b^2-4ac all divided by 2a. i get lost there

    How Far Does a Skier Jump at 15° Launch and 50° Slope?

    Homework Statement A skier leaves the ramp of a ski jump with a velocity of v = 8.0 m/s, θ = 15.0° above the horizontal, as in the figure. The slope is inclined at 50.0°, and air resistance is negligible. (Assume up and right are positive, and down and left are negative.) (a) Find the...

    Unit Vectors Homework: Write Vector Expression for Golf Ball Position

    I didnt just drop the 3.3 i added it to the 16.0; i realized where i was mistaken at. check out the edit i just posted after you answered! Thank you for your help though! :-)

    Unit Vectors Homework: Write Vector Expression for Golf Ball Position

    Homework Statement A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by the following expressions. x = (16.0 m/s)t y = (3.30 m/s)t - (4.90 m/s2)t^2 Write a vector expression for the ball's position as a function of time, using...

    Why does this expression simplify to 1-sin(x)?

    [(1-sinx)(-sinx)-cosx(0-cosx)]/(1-sinx)^2 then (1-sinx)/(1-sinx)^2 then the final being (1)/(1-sinx) PS sorry for the double posting

    Why does this expression simplify to 1-sin(x)?

    thats what i kept seeing. i see it simplifies to one. the answer in the book shows the answer i previously gave over (1-sinx)^2 then the final answer being 1 over (1-sinx)

    Why does this expression simplify to 1-sin(x)?

    ok, i have this and know what it should simplify to, but why? (1-sin(x))(sin(x))-(cos(x))(0-cos(x)) i know it simplifies to 1-sin(x) but my book doesn't explain what exactly happens. could someone please shed some light and explain what exactly happens

    How can I convert m/s to mi/h using only simple unit ratios?

    Ok, i know how to convert to and from the metric system and how to convert within, but what exactly am i supposed to do with this. Notice I am not asking for it solved, but guidance on how to solve, bc this seems like a really stupid way for us to have to convert with extra steps added and mixed...

    Vector notation. just an explanation

    im at the library an ddont have it on the comp. I am tryin to work it on paper but i think I am plugging it it wrong. try this (.23*10+.5*.023*10^2)ihat + (0.46*10+.5*.046*10^2)jhat 3.45 i hat + 6.9 jhat

    Vector notation. just an explanation

    damn, i know this stuff should be easy, i think I am thinking about it way to hard and confusing myself.

    Vector notation. just an explanation

    so if I am looking at it just in a generic way, that is just the length of the line/ magnitude if its a vector
