Yes. Thank you sir!

Homework Statement Use the power series for e^z and the def. of sin(z) to check that sum ((-1)^k z^(2 k+1))/((2 k+1)!) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I apologize, but I am not particularly good with latex. Therefore, I attached a picture of my solution thus far...

I apologize for the copy and paste mishap. From my understanding the time on the clock that the light reaches Experimenter B is 3 µs, but the actual time of travel for the light is 1 µs (making the time of the incident at t=2 µs). The 3 µs is almost like a "false time". Does that look correct?

S is the standing reference frame for which both Experimenter A and B are within. I will post the solution to the problem below in (.jpg format). Hopefully this will help clarify my concerns.

I think that this problem relates to relativity because frame of references are possibly important to the understanding of relativity. From my understanding, light takes 1.0 μs to reach experimenter B (as light travels at 300 m/μs). However, he/she sees it at 3.0 μs. I don't understand why they...

For the problem below, I understand how to solve it using numbers, but I am having trouble understanding the physics/logic behind the solution. More specifically, I do not understand how the time of seeing the light flash is different compared to the actual arrival of light. Any assistance would...

Homework Statement A 140μF defibrillator capacitor is charged to 1500 V. When fired through a patient's chest, it loses 95% of its charge in 40 ms. What is the resistance of the patient's chest? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution According to "Mastering Physics," the solution that...

You know that fx(x0,y0) exists. What can you tell about the continuity of g(x)=f(x, y0) at x=x0? I know the answer is that it is continuous but I just wanted somebody to confirm why.

I don't understand why you put R1(t) as the r0 vector in the R3(u) vector equation instead of just inputting the given point A there.

Equation 1 and 2 are not supposed to be given.

Line 1 and line 2 are given by equation 1 and 2. Point A has coordinates (xo, yo, zo). Find the equation of line 3 which goes through A and crosses L1 and L2.
