    When Does the Angular Velocity of a DC Motor Reach Zero?

    Well I got that part figured out but I can't get the next part. 1. How many revolutions does the motor shaft turn through between the time when the current is reversed and the instant when the angular velocity is zero? 2. Deltatheta=.5(w+w0)t revolution=(1/2pi)radians 3. Since the...

    When Does the Angular Velocity of a DC Motor Reach Zero?

    Homework Statement At t=0 the current to a dc electric motor is reversed, resulting in an angular displacement of the motor shaft given by theta (t) = ( A)t-( B)t^{2}-( C)t^{3} At what time is the angular velocity of the motor shaft zero? Homework Equations quadratic The Attempt...

    Solving a First-Order DE: A Student's Struggle

    1. Homework Statement [/b] y'=4x–y+4; y(0)=8 2. The attempt at a solution[/b] This is simply a first-order DE So: y'+y=4x+4 P(x)=1 Q(x)=4x+4 p(x)=e^x So that ends up being: ye^x=(4xe^x+4e^x)dx Integration: ye^x=4xe^x-4e^x+4e^x ye^x=4xe^x divide by e^x y=4x+C y=4x+8...
