Undergrad Compute Integer to Any Real Power Algorithm
Hi, I was wondering if there exists an algorithm for one by one digit computation of an integer to the power of any real number? Couldn't find anything on the net. -

How do I find the correct magnitude using vectors and magnitudes?
Sorry I got it wrong, you have to determine the part of the velocity verctor that is parraler to the verctor pointing from astronaut to the airlock. Which is |\overline{v}| cos \varphi. Using |\overline{v}||\overline{u}|cos \varphi = |\overline{v}\cdot\overline{u}| you should get it.- michalll

What is the minimum velocity needed to maintain circular motion at point A?
Thats easy just take into account centrifugal acceleration.- michalll

You probably have to detemine the i vector component of the astronaut's speed to hit the airlock.- michalll

How Do You Apply Power Series to Evaluate Functions and Estimate Errors?
I used McLaurin formula for e^x. The limits aren't the same but you can get back to x after integrating. The two term approximations means you use only two first terms in the sum. The sum is alternating so the error won't be greater than the absolute value of the third term in this case.- michalll

How Do You Apply Power Series to Evaluate Functions and Estimate Errors?
The first function is in first two aproximations always zero. For the second i would suggest \int_0^t e^{-x^2}dx = 0.5\int e^{-s}s^{-1/2}ds then approximate e^{-s} which would lead to 0.5\int \sum_0^\infty((-1)^n (1/n!)s^{n})s^{-1/2}ds which can be easily integrated- michalll

Wave Propagation in a Hanging Rope: Time for Reflection and Return
the equation for v is still valid you just have to write F in terms of x (where x is distance from the bottom part of the rope)- michalll

Wave Propagation in a Hanging Rope: Time for Reflection and Return
F is not a constant in this case, each part of the rope is beeing stretched differently depending on how close it is to the ceiling- michalll
