What is the frequency of a tuning fork oscillating at 2770 rad/s?
A tuning fork oscillates with simple harmonic motion described the equation: x = 0.00150cos(2770t) (where t is seconds) a) calculate the frequency in Hz of the tuning fork b) Suggest why only this tuning fork (taken from a set of 10 forks) gets louder when held above a glass bottle full...- Timiop2008

General Thermal/Energy Physics Problem
The Plug of a new steel, electric kettle says "power rating 2.5W" a) The metal wall of the kettle and the water inside the kettle always remain close to thermal equilibrium, even when the water boils. Explain how this is true. b) The kettle uses 300J to raise its temperature by 1 Kelvin...- Timiop2008

Partial Fractions and Parametric Equations
For the Parametric Equations Question, can you do part (a) by thinking of x=cost as cos=k and y=2-cos2t as y=2-k2t where k is some constant? Can you sketch the graph by calculating a table of values of x,y and t from -3 to 3?- Timiop2008

Partial Fractions and Parametric Equations
This is my attempt at question (1) (3x-1)/(x+3)^2 = A/(x+3) + B/(x+3)^2 (3x-1)/(x+3)^2 = A(x+3)/(x+3)(x+3) + B/(x+3)^2 (3x-1)/(x+3)^2 = Ax+3A/(x+3)^2 + B/(x+3)^2 now cancel all the denominators to get 3x-1=Ax+3A+B I don't know where to go from here- Timiop2008

Partial Fractions and Parametric Equations
Hi Can anybody help me with these 3 problems?: 1) Express (3x-1)/(x+3)^2 in the form A/(x+3) + B/((X+3)^2) where A and B are constants. 2) A curve C has parametric equations: x=cost and y=2-cos2t (between 0 and pi) a)prove this can be expressed as the cartesian equation y=3-2x^2 b)...- Timiop2008

2 Trigonometric Problems i'm stuck with. Help
Yes, I think 1(b) is: cos(x)cot(x) = cos(x)[cos(x)/sin(x)] = cos²(x) / sin(x) = [1 - sin²(x)] / sin(x) = [1/sin(x)] - [sin²(x)/sin(x)] = csc(x) - sin(x) but I don't have a clue about 1(a) I can only get to: [3(1/sinx)]-5sinx-2=0 and then don't know how to carry on- Timiop2008
