So, the area of the triangle between two vectors (let's say A and B) is 0.5|Axb| right? I still don't see how I can use that to solve this. I can find the area of every triangle but the one I need.
EDIT: Alright, I was just being a dummy. I redrew my picture so that each of the vectors point...
Homework Statement
Three vectors A, B, C point from the origin O to the three corners of a triangle. Show that the area of the triangle is given by
area = \frac{1}{2}|(B\timesC) + (C\timesA) + (A\timesC)|
Homework Equations
area of triangle with sides a, b, c = \frac{1}{2}|a\timesc|...
Homework Statement
A metal block of mass m slides on a horizontal surface that has been lubricated
with a heavy oil so that the block suffers a viscous resistance that varies as the 3/2
power of the speed: F(v) = -cv3/2
If the initial speed of the block is vo at x = 0, show that the block...
Homework Statement
A cannon shoots a ball at an angle \theta above the horizontal ground
a) Neglecting air resistence, find the ball's position (x(t) and y(t)) as a function of time.
b) Take the above answer and find an equation for the ball's trajectory y(x).Homework Equations...
Ok, so would the new x component momentum for the photon be h/λ2 * Cosθ? Or is there something I'm missing?
And would the initial y components for the photon and electron be zero?
As for the final y components would they be:
Ppfy= h/λ2 * sinθ?
Pefy= p sinψ?
So, in total:
h/λ1 +...
I have a vague idea of what I'm supposed to be doing but I'm just so horrible at this.
Ok, here's my attempt:
The initial momentum of the photon in the x direction PLUS the initial momentum of the electron in the x direction (would it be zero??) has to equal the sum of both final x direction...

Okay, so here's the problem:
In a Compton scattering experiment, a photon is scattered through an angle of 90.0 and the
electron is set into motion in a direction at an angle of 20.0 to the original direction of the
photon.
(a) Explain how this information is...

Hey all, this is for a laboratory. I need to determine the fractal basin boundaries for a magnetic pendulum swinging chaotically about 3 other magnets underneath. I was able to plot a single path for the pendulum in Mathematica, but now I need to expand my code to...
