    Undergrad How to Solve Complex Equations Involving i

    Hi, Could anyone please explain to me the procedure of obtaining complex solutions of equations where i is involved? For example z^3=i. Many thanks!

    Parametric Equations of a Plane

    Here is my question: When given three distict points A, B, C, find the parametric equations for the plane through these three points. I was able to get the plane through these three points, first of all by getting the normal vector n = ABxAC, then by multiplying this vector by...

    What is the computation of tangential acceleration in circular motion?

    I'm sorry guys... I'm stuck again... An automobile whose speed is increasing at a rate of 0.600 m/s2 travels along a circular road of radius 20.0 m. When the instantaneous speed of the automobile is 3.00 m/s, find the tangential acceleration component. Magnitude. ... i know that the...

    Calculating Acceleration at t = 2.20 s for a Particle in 2D Motion

    The vector representing acceleration would then be (6.2/t)i + (8.1/t)j ?

    Calculating Acceleration at t = 2.20 s for a Particle in 2D Motion

    At t = 0, a particle moving in the xy plane with constant acceleration has a velocity of vi = (3.00 i - 2.00 j) m/s and is at the origin. At t = 2.20 s, the particle's velocity is v = (9.20 i + 6.10 j) m/s. i am asked to find the acceleration at time t. i know that the acceleration is the...
