    Integrate (x2 - 1)/(x2 + 1): Lunar Guy's Question

    1. Integrate on the interval [0, 1]: (x2 - 1)/(x2 + 1) 2. No relevant equations. 3. S x2/(x2 + 1) - [S 1/(x2 + 1)] = S (x2 + 1) - 1/(x2 + 1) - [(arctan x)] = S -1 - [(arctan x)] = -x - arctan x I can plug in the numbers on my own, but I would like to know if what I've done...

    Solve Trig Expressions: Inverse Sin and Tan -1/2, Inverse Tan 3/4

    Yes, that is true because: tan[Tan^{-1} (\frac{3}{4}) ] Cancel each other out. Hint, hint... ;)

    Solve Trig Expressions: Inverse Sin and Tan -1/2, Inverse Tan 3/4

    Okay, let's work inside of the parentheses first: Sin^{-1} -\frac{1}{2} You can look at this as: sin \theta = -\frac{1}{2} \theta = -30° or 330° Convert that into radians, and you get: \frac{11\pi}{6} or -\frac{\pi}{6} In order for you to get sin x = -1/2, draw a graph...

    Specific heat capacity (Calorimetry)

    [SOLVED] Specific heat capacity (Calorimetry) Homework Statement When a driver brakes an automobile, friction between the brake disks and the brake pads converts part of the car's translational kinetic energy to internal energy. If a 1500 kg automobile traveling at 32 m/s comes to a halt...

    Fluids in motion (Bernoulli's equation)

    1. The time required to fill a bucket with water from a certain garden hose is 30.0 s. If you cover part of the hose's nozzle with your thumb so that the speed of the water leaving the nozzle doubles, how long does it take to fill the bucket? 2. Homework Equations : None required. I hope...

    Calculating Weight of Truck on Ferry Boat

    [SOLVED] Bouyant force 1. A ferry boat is 4.0 m wide and 6.0 m long. When a truck pulls onto it, the boat sinks 4.00 cm (0.04 m) in the water. What is the weight of the truck? 2. F(sub: B) = F(sub: g)[displaced fluid] = m(sub: f)g (magnitude of bouyant force = weight of the fluid...

    Conservation of energy of a block of ice

    All right, I'll attempt to work off of that. :) Here we go: PEi + KEi +Ui = PEf + KEf + Uf PEi & PEf = 0 KEf = 0 KEi +Ui = Uf KEi = Uf - Ui <--- (∆U) ½mv² = ∆U ½(2.5 kg)(5.7 m/s)² = ∆U 42 J = ∆U 3.3 × 10^5 J/1.0 kg = 42 J/m m(3.3 × 10^5 J) = (42 J)(1.0 kg) m...
