Hmm, I think I got it
The max height is simply the horizontal distance traveled by the small block in the large block reference frame. This distance was unspecified, but call it x_o. Thus, h_max=x_o.
This will be a S.H.O, based won the equivilance princ, because the small block can't tell the...
Ohh, just w=∫F.dr?
which you calculate for the circular section of the ramp. Then find the speed at the top of curved portion K.E=w-mgR (we don't have R, Ohh well).
So I guess, the question is how to find the velocity of the small block atop the curved portion of the ramp? There must be some way to find the work the large block is doing? then this work is simply w=K.E + U.E. We are looking for the max height, thus K.E=0. Then, w=mgh.
Then how do I explain...
I understand that page up until tidal forces. I feel like after that is applied to rotation, which should not be relevantn (I should read the whole thing, but time is short!)? I don't know how to apply this to the given system. The acceleration of the large block in the inertial ref. frame...
errr. Not really. I am also working a problem involving rotational reference frames (i.e. coriolis, and centrifugal fictitious forces), but am confused by that too. I know about coordinate transforms... kinda. just things like x'=x+at, for an accelerating frame. I guess, I'm lost!
Homework Statement
A block in the shape of a quarter circle moves at constant acceleration across the floor. At some moment a small block of mass m, which is at rest with respect to the floor, is placed atop the horizontal part of the large block. There is no friction in this problem. Assuming...
I am having a hard time describing this situation, and getting proper cancelations\simplifications.
To start we need to find an equation describing the momentum... I think. This would look like.
P = P_ship + P_exhausted fuel + P_gas cloud = 0
P_ship = (M_total)(v+dv)
P_exhausted = (v_ship -...
Homework Statement
To solve this problem you will need to construct a differential equation. A picture of the situation will help. Ignore all gravitational forces. A Rocket ship of structural mass M and fuel mass m, begins at rest relative to a gas cloud. The ship burns fuel at the rate ω which...
Another Idea that I have is my school offers a 'Big Data Analytic's Certificate'... I don't know anything about this, but intend to talk to a couple of prof. about it. Does anyone know anything about the certificate...would it be worth an extra semester if need be?
I understand that my academic knowledge isn't all that tangible to the work force, and If I weren't going to grad school I of would probably done engineering to prepare myself for the workforce better. I just want a job that isn't in retail, or the restaurant business ...etc. I want a job that...
