Can someone explain to me why this is with finding an integral
Alright, I know how to find the integral of a regular function, But an inverse, is throwing me off Can someone explain why 1/Sqrt(7t)dt is 2sqrt(t/7) I'm probably missing something, but why does the variable end up as a numerator? I know the inverse is 1/(r+1)x^(r+1) So I work it out as...- nickb145

Determining the Frequency Heard by a Helicopter from a Parachutist's Shout
But it is strange that i get a higher frequency of what it should be. The answer is 381.4 and i keep getting 479. I'm getting my signs wrong somewhere... I used f'=f/(1+Vs/V) for a source moving away from reciever.- nickb145

vy=Vyi-gt right? initial speed is 0 so its just -9.8*4=-39.2- nickb145

Oscilations: Bullet collides with wood block on spring
Now for the energy before the bullet strikes. Before the bullet enters the wood block i just have the kinetic energy of the bullet. Because i assume the spring is at x=0 and that just cancels out the potential energy. Now for after the collision I used the X=Acos(ωt) to get X. I got .2544...- nickb145

Oscilations: Bullet collides with wood block on spring
Interesting. SO i just take the difference between Vmax and Vmin? Vmax 485=Sqrt(79/.0062)A A=4.296 Vmin 1.731=-sqrt(79/1.7362)A= -.256 Which i now have is 4.039m. Which mastering physics tells me is incorrect.- nickb145

Oscilations: Bullet collides with wood block on spring
I think using the conservation of momentum will work. M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2)V3 .0062(485)+1.73(0)=(1.7362)V3 V=1.73m/s (that is a massive drop)- nickb145

Oscilations: Bullet collides with wood block on spring
I'm not really sure. I used it because i assume that 485 IS the max velocity- nickb145

What Temperature Triples the RMS Speed of an Ideal Gas?
Ok so the ideal gas equation is PV=NkbT Since i see pressure there i divided the volume so i can get P=(NkbT)/v I set the 2 equations equal to each other and simplified to get T=(mv2)/Kb if that makes any sense.- nickb145
