    Question of the basic properties of tan

    I, too, noticed that they summed to 90. Well, the entire problem, minus the EE info, is: I have an equation that makes an elipse: E = x[10cos(wt + 30°)] + y[30cos(wt)] We can make wt our variable. x and y are the vector directions, I believe. (they have hats ^ above them) gamma is...

    Question of the basic properties of tan

    Homework Statement I've solved a problem in my engineering homework to a point where I have the following data: ψ = arctan(3) = 71.57 (degrees) , inverse tangent of 3 δ = 30 degrees solve for gamma and chi (χ): tan(2gamma) = tan(2ψ)cos(δ) sin(2χ) = sin(2ψ)sin(δ) Homework Equations...

    Separating e^(xi) to form a-bi

    Homework Statement I am in dif eq, but just need to know how to separate a power. separate e^(xi) into the form a-bi, where x is a constant (in my homework, x is 4pi/3, but that's not too relevant) i is the imaginary number sqrt(-1) Homework Equations I don't know if there is some simple...

    Magnetic force of one, moving charged particle on another (vector problem)

    Homework Statement At a particular instant, charge q_1 = 4.80×10^−6 C is at the point (0, 0.250m , 0) and has velocity v_1=(9.2*10^5 m/s) i_hat. Charge q_2 = −2.50×10^−6 C is at the point (0.150m , 0, 0) and has velocity v_2 = (-5.3x10^5 m/s) j_hat. At this instant, what is the magnetic...

    How Do You Calculate Parameters of a Parallel-Plate Air Capacitor?

    It asks for Farads, and to put everything as XXX*10^Z. I have done so. I've used Mastering Physics all last year, so I know how to deal with the inputs. Is there some special integral or another equation that I could try? P.S. The way I'm doing the problem is exactly like the example in...

    How Do You Calculate Parameters of a Parallel-Plate Air Capacitor?

    The other option also resulted in a wrong answer. 6.13*10^-11F using an area of (.16m)^2. I've 3 tries left.

    How Do You Calculate Parameters of a Parallel-Plate Air Capacitor?

    That's the exact question word-for-word, so I can't tell either. The answer I got from doing the calculation was 3.83pF, which is wrong.

    How Do You Calculate Parameters of a Parallel-Plate Air Capacitor?

    A parallel-plate air capacitor is made by using two plates 16 cm square, spaced 3.7 mm apart. It is connected to a 12-V battery. What is the capacitance? What is the charge on each plate? What is the electric field between the plates? What is the energy stored in the capacitor? What I...
