Homework Statement
A concave mirror forms an image on a screen twice as large as an object. Both object and mirror are then moved such that the new image is 3x the size of the object. If the screen is moved 75cm, how far did the object move?
Homework Equations
m = image distance / object...

Note: I think there is a typo here but I'm not sure. Is there supposed to be a comma between the delta t/2 and y_n on K2 and K3, and delta t and y_n on K4?
Homework Equations
See above.The Attempt at a Solution
Substituting dy/t = z gives
\frac{dz}{dt} = 3z - 2ty - cos(t)...
v for centripetal force refers to tangential velocity of the rolling object, so its the velocity of the cork rolling down the ramp, assuming the cork has enough friction against the ramp to not slide.
Homework Statement
Given some ElGamal private key, and an encrypted message, decrypt it.
Homework Equations
Public key (F_q, g, b)
Private key a such that b=g^a
Message m encrypted so that r=g^k, t=mb^k
Decrypt: tr^-a = m
The Attempt at a Solution
My problem is finding r^-a...
Compare it to
\sum \frac{2^n}{3^n}
\frac{2^n}{3^n}\cdot\frac{3^n-1}{2^n}
\frac{3^n}{3^n} - \frac{1}{3^n}
1- \frac{1}{3^n}
With limit n->infinity, this = 1

Let the two plaintext pairs be (a, b) and (c, d). Let the...
m(t) = m_{0} - dm*t
Thanks, didn't quite think about that one. Forgot to consider that the amount of mass the asteroid picks up in a set amount of time is dependant on its velocity, and is thus not a constant term.
Homework Statement
A rocket of initial mass m_{0} accelerates from rest in vacuum in the absence of gravity. As it uses up fuel, its mass decreases but its speed increases. For what value of m is its momentum p = mv maximum?Homework Equations

Note: this is one of the suggested practice problems for my second-year classical mechanics course.
Homework Statement
A spherical asteroid of mass m_{0} and radius R, initially moving at speed v_{0}, encounters a stationary cloud of dust. As the asteroid moves through the cloud, it collects...
