Improper Integration of (1/x)(lnx)^2: Troubleshooting and Correct Solutions
I don't know what I'm doing wrong when taking this simple integral. The integral is: \int (1/x)(lnx)^2 dx \int (2/x)(lnx) dx 2 \int (lnx/x) dx Let u = lnx du/dx = 1/x dx = xdu 2 \int (u/x) xdu 2 \int (u) du 2 \int (u^2)/2 + C (2(lnx)^2)/2 + C (lnx)^2 +...- st3dent

Calculating Tension in a Model Plane's Horizontal Circular Motion
A model plane of mass .75 kg is flying at a constant speed in a horizontal circle connected to a 30 m cord and is at a height of 18 m. The other end of the cord is tethered to the ground as shown in the picture. The plane makes 4.4 revolutions per minute, and the force that the air exerts on...- st3dent

How Does Friction Impact Motion on Slopes?
Ok, i know the Force is 1312.67N and the velocity is 8.33 m/s the eqn for climbing the hill is mgsin4 + bv2 = Fperson i need to find the new v for going uphill. i know what mgsin4 and i know what b is...what if Fperson? I need to know Fperson to find the v going uphill. Thanks.- st3dent

How Does Friction Impact Motion on Slopes?
Ok...in response to the three equations..They make sense, but they assume that force is equal.. The answer I get is 8 m/s. The question asks if "the cyclist uses the same power, at what speed can he climb the hill" Does using the same power mean using the same force. I know that P = Work /...- st3dent

Undergrad Reducing a System of Equations to One Variable
Hello, I am difficulty solving this system of equations. Eqn1: 1.0416*10-21 = 4.75*10-27(x2) + 1.68*10-27(x1)(cos a) Eqn2: 2.827 = (x1)(sin a) Eqn3: 3.22896*10-16 = 8.4*10-28(x2)2 + 3.36*10-27(x1)2 I keep on getting equations with two variables in it. Can someone tell me how to...- st3dent

Skiing: Calculating Speed and Friction Coefficient
I THINK I have a solution now. Since Ffrd = mg / 32 and F[sub]fr[sub] = \mu _kmgcos30 then \mu _kmgcos30 = mg/32 \mu _k = mg/32mgcos30 \mu _k = 1/32cos30 \mu _k = 0.036 Is that the right answer...THANKS!- st3dent

Skiing: Calculating Speed and Friction Coefficient
I understand the following: Since the change in kinetic energy is zero, Ei = Ef mgh1 = mgh2 + Ffrd mgh1 - mgh2 = Ffrd mg(750 - 850) = Ffrd Since Ffrd = \mu _kFnd...- st3dent

Skiing: Calculating Speed and Friction Coefficient
2. Two mountains are at elevations of 850m and 750m above the valley between them. A ski run extends from the top of the higher peak to the top of the lower one, with a total length of 3.2km and an average slope of 30 degrees, a) A skier starts from rest on the higher peak. At what speed will...- st3dent
