    Undergrad How do you solve this nonlinear first order DE

    I just need someone to explain to me what the answer to the equation is. Can someone do that without plugging it into a computer program.

    Undergrad How do you solve this nonlinear first order DE

    I just looked at the equation again, it is suppose to be: dy/dx = m*x + b - k*y^2 where m is multiplied by x. However, can both sides be multiplied by dx such that dy = (m*x + b - k*y^2) dx where the right hand side can be integrated with respect to x. Then both sides are divided by the...

    Undergrad How do you solve this nonlinear first order DE

    Show me the process by which you solved it, starting with the original equation. Then explain to me what the airy function is.

    Undergrad How do you solve this nonlinear first order DE

    I am having trouble solving the following nonlinear first order differential equation: dy/dx = mx + b - k*y^2 The variables m, b and k are constants. I have had DE in school, but it was mostly linear first order, so I am not sure how to solve this one. Someone has recommended...

    Undergrad How does kinetic friction change around a curve

    If I am running in a straight line, and I am experiencing kinetic friction that is proportional to my weight, i.e. my normal force, then when I run around a curve, does my normal force increase by my velocity squared divided by the radius of the turn as if it were a perfect circle (...
