    Power rule for antiderivatives

    it would be 103x^3 / 36 . Or do you want it simplified more?

    Power rule for antiderivatives

    Ok, thanks for the reply. If that's the case, does that make the rest of the equation: (-x^5) / 12 + (5x^4)/6 - [(103x^3)/12) / 3] + [(23x^2)/3) /2 ] Thanks again.

    Power rule for antiderivatives

    I am taking an Architectural Geometry class, and have only had Precal. We just started antiderivatives (I understand regular derivatives), and had a question: I have to find the antiderivative of (-5/12 x^4) + (10/3 x^3) - (103/12 x^2) + (23/3 x) I think I use the power rule for...

    Calculating Temperature Change of a Lead Bullet on Impact

    Thanks for the reply...ok the spec. heat of the lead bullet is 128 kg/J*C how do I convert the Kinetic Energy into Thermal? So far I have: Q = (m)(c)(change in temp) ? = (.0042)(128)(x) I don't know how to find Q, so then I can solve for x. Thanks.

    Calculating Temperature Change of a Lead Bullet on Impact

    A 4.2 g lead bullet moving at 260 m/s strikes a steel plate and stops. If all its kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy and none leaves the bullet, what is its temperature change? --- I don't even know what formula to use or how to start. I could get force, by multiplying the mass...

    What Is the Correct Approach to Solve This Specific Heat Calculation Error?

    Doc Al, I called a classmate, and he had used the same formula I did...and got the correct answer. After walking through my steps with him, I found that messed up here: cp water, given || (4186) (.630) (x-90) = (4186) (.445) (x-22) 774.41x = 196365.26 It should have been 90-x...

    What Is the Correct Approach to Solve This Specific Heat Calculation Error?

    Please Help! - Specific Heat Problem... I have been stuck for a while, it's online (Webassign), so it told me my answer was wrong. ------- A 6.3x10^2 g sample of water at 90.0°C is mixed with 4.45x10^2 g of water at 22.0°C. Assume no heat loss to the surroundings. What is the final...

    Why Am I Getting the Wrong Answers in These Rotational Motion Problems?

    Thanks again for sticking with me, but I am still pretty confused. I'll just ask my teacher to walk me through the steps to see where I messed up. Thanks though.

    Why Am I Getting the Wrong Answers in These Rotational Motion Problems?

    Thanks for the reply, but I am still unsure as what to do: the first (here's the question again) The Emerald Suite, a revolving restaurant at the top of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, makes a complete turn once every hour. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of...

    Why Am I Getting the Wrong Answers in These Rotational Motion Problems?

    Just a little more help please... Thanks for the reply, I was eventually able to work through it and get my answer! It turns out that I had the formula wrong. --- This is similar to the second question I had, but they want the centripetal accel. The Emerald Suite, a revolving restaurant...

    Why Am I Getting the Wrong Answers in These Rotational Motion Problems?

    I have been stuck on these forever...but here goes: 1st question: A tire placed on a balancing machine in a service station starts from rest and turns through 5.5 revs in 1.0 s before reaching its final angular speed. Assuming that the angular acceleration of the wheel is constant...
