    Are My Physics Homework Answers Correct?

    Hey thanks! Problem #2, I believe, is assuming an object is on perhaps an air track...(frictionless)...and moving horizontally... So then for #2, it is answer c...?? And for #6...then then mass does not affect the frequency of the period T?? so then the correct answer for #6 would be...

    Are My Physics Homework Answers Correct?

    Going through these last few multiple choice HW problems tonight (about 50 of them total to finish tonight and I am down to these alst few)...and wondering if these are correct: 1. Newton's First law states... a) An object can only move in a circle if external forces act on it. b) An...

    This is a difficult problem- Identities

    Prove this identity: sin (2 X) ----------------- = 2 sin (X) - 2 sin^2 (X) sec (X) + tan (X) How would you do it? It was suggested in another thread that this can't be proved or that there is an error in the problem...but I think it is a hard problem to figure out. Anyeays, the...

    Trig Identities Help Arrrggghhh

    Thanks! I tried working both sides and got this: 2 - 2sin^2 X = 2 cot X sin X cos X Left side of 2 - 2sin^2 X = 2-1 (1-cos 2 X) =2-1 + cos 2 X =1 + cos 2 X For the right side, I worked it like this: 2 cot X sin X cos X = 2 (cos X /sin X) (sin X) (cos X) = 2 (cos X) (cos...

    Trig Identities Help Arrrggghhh

    ok, I think I may have one of the last ones... 1. 2 - 2sin^2 X = 2 cot X sin X cos X Working on the Right side, I replaced cot X with (cos X/sin X) Which makes... 2 (cos X/ sin X) sin X cos X the two cos X's cancel, leaving 2 (cos X) (cos X) =2 (cos^2 X) and since...

    Trig Identities Help Arrrggghhh

    Awesome! Thanks so much for your help! Really appreciate it. I have been working on the rest of my homework problems and have only three left to go, but two of them are totally different than the other problems he assigned, but I'd still like to finish them tonight, eventhough he said we'd...

    Trig Identities Help Arrrggghhh

    Ok, now for trig identity #3. cot^2 X = (cot^2 X+1)(cos^2 X) Here's what I did: Working on the right side, replace (cot^2 X + 1) with csc^2 X which gives me... csc^2 X cos^2 X then I rewrite it as ... 1/sin^2 X (cos^2 X) which is... cos^2 X -------- sin^2 X...

    Trig Identities Help Arrrggghhh

    Thanks for the tips! I'll be back in a bit and post what I have done :smile: OK, for #1. cos^3 X-cos X = - cos X sin X --------------- sin X working on left side, I get: cos X (cos^2 X - 1) -------------------- sin X and that gives me... cos X (-sin^2 X) ----------------...

    Trig Identities Help...Arrrggghhh! :) I typed all of this out but the system then said I was not logged in and I lost it all...don't have time to retype everything. note: the ^ symbol is like "squared" for example, if I have 4^2 , that would be "four squared" or 4 times 4 = 16...

    Specific Heat of Metals/Homework Help?

    Here is a homework problem I am working on: 1. Suppose 50 cm^3 of water at 85 degrees C is addedto 100 cm^3 of water at 10 degrees C. What is the equilibrium temperature of the mixture, assuming there is no heat lost to the environment? * = multiplied by T = Temperature of water m = mass...

    How Do You Calculate Temperature and Pressure in Boyle's Law Problems?

    ok , gotcha... I reworked it as follows: nRT=45.6 atm L n=3.00 moles :smile: R=.0821 and solve for T (3.00 moles)(.0821)(T)=45.6 DIVIDE both sides by (3.00)(.0821) OR (.2463) and solve for T T=45.6/.2463 T=185.140073082 Kelvin or approximately 185 Kelvin So, as...
