very helpful! thanks

thank you so much. I completely follow you here:). Do you mind elaborating on when I can use the technique where you choose what in your expression is delta and what is epsilon? It seems pretty powerful but I just want to make sure when and how to use it. Thanks for the help

Homework Statement Hey guys. I am having a little trouble answering this question. I am teaching myself calc 3 and am a little confused here (and thus can't ask a teacher). I need to find the limit as (x,y) approaches (0,1) of f(x,y) when f(x,y)=(xy-x)/(x^2+y^2-2y+1). Homework Equations...

thanks that's perfect

So if a ball is rolling down a ramp and not slipping, you have two torques... the mg*sin(theta) portion of gravity and the (mu)mgcos(theta) for friction. My question is this: Does this friction force remove energy from the ball? (I know it affects the balls rotation but this is just changing...

oh I see. thank you

Well in general moment of inertia R^2dm and I am using the thin shells to eventually make up the entire volume so I can sub out for dm in terms of r

Homework Statement I need to know why my derivation does not work. I am attempting to derive I=2/5 mR^2Homework Equations I have seen people derive it using disks but my question is why do the shells not work? Where in my set up did I go wrong? Thanks The Attempt at a Solution I am attempting...
