    Speed/energy problem, could someone please check my work

    having a look thrugh a textbook it turns out that I am not sure what is correct. the book says E=1/2mv^2+1/2Jw^2 = E=1/2mv^2+1/2mk^2*w^2 please comment

    Solving Distance and Direction-Based Homework Problems

    thats great! I can now see what the method is for this type of question, would I be able to get just a few more mins of your time, could you explain why I had to differentiate and set it to 0?, I know the distance formula was used to get the closest point of the 2 vectors and the result of this...

    ok think I got it pluging t=13.67 back into d^2=22.56t^2-918.88t+6397.57 =d^2=6271.32-12561+6397.57 =d^2=107.89 d=sqrt107.89 d=10.38m

    67.12t-918.88 = 0. therefore t=918.88/67.12 t=13.69 not sure what you mean by "then get R at the t value you get" so close but so far

    Solving Distance and Direction-Based Homework Problems

    hi, I attempted to solve by completing the square but it all went a bit crazy. got it to 33.56t^2-918.88t+211085.1=217482.7 I do not know how to convert the left hand side to square form, the times I have done this before I could just see the answer. I am not sure how to solve...

    Solving Distance and Direction-Based Homework Problems

    good morning I have woken up now and am fresh minded and raring to go. distance^2 = (1.49t-30.61)^2 + (5.6t -73.9)^2 D^2= 33.56t^2-918.88t+6397.57 where to now? do I sqrt the right hand side?

    ah yes, my silly mistake, it is getting late here now distance^2 = (1.49t-30.61)^2 + (5.6t -73.9)^2 ==d^2 = 1.49t^2-2*1.49t*30.61+-30.61^2 + 5.6t^2-2*5.6t*-73.9+-73.9^2 = d^2 = 1.49t^2-91.2t+936.9 +5.6t^2+827.7t+5461.21 =d^2 = 7.09t^2+736.5t+6398.11 is this right so far? I...

    Solving Distance and Direction-Based Homework Problems

    d^2=1.49^2*t^2-30.61^2+-73.9^2-5.6^2*t^2 = d^2=2.22*t^2-936.9+-5461.21-31.36*t^2 = d^2 = -6427.25*t^4 not sure I have done that right beacuse the answer should be positive, I can't see where the sign is wrong

    Solving Distance and Direction-Based Homework Problems

    Ok like ...sqrt(1.49t-30.61)^2+(0-73.9-5.6t)^2
