I discovered that that is the conjugate and I came out with this: 27-6sqrt(t)-tsqrt(t) ---------------- 9-t So in other words, that limit does not exist. Is that right?

Problem Calculating a limit with a square root, I'm stuck :( Homework Statement The limit is equation 9-t / 3-sqrt(t) as t approaches 9 I'm stuck on the how to simplify this? Thanks for any help. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

I'm sorry but both of those answers made no sense...

Homework Statement The figure shows the graph of a cubic polynomial. The function graphed is f(x)= Hint: You may write the function as f(x) = a(x-b)(x-c)(x-d) where b, c, and d, are integers and a is a fraction. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I'm lost...

Homework Statement How would you solve this problem: x^2 - 5x >= 0 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I think it might be something to do with the Quadratic Formula?

Actually would I be correct in saying that all like terms would be combined? because D'+D'+D'=D' so the simplified form of the equation above would be AB'+D' Is that right or am I completely crazy?

Homework Statement I came to an equation which looks like this: AB'D' + AC'D' + CD' I know I can simplify out the C to this AB'D' + AD' + D' Any further simplification available (And am I simplifying properly so far?) Thanks Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

Let me throw another one out there to hopefully make it easier to understand (don't worry about the transfer function) so 2.2e3/2.2e3+i2pi10e-3 How would that be simplified or in simpler terms a/a+b How would you simplify that The problem above would be i*2pi*f*L/R+i*2pi*f*L f is the...

My algebra is really rusty, anyway I'm trying to simplify a Transfer Function so I have H(jw)=ZL/R+ZL so ZL is the impedance of an inductor and R is the impedance of the Resistor, my question is how would I go about simplifying that transfer function into it's simplest form? Thanks...

Oh yeah your right, thanks for catching that.

Oh and Quick question about Calculating Vb I know that I can use the Voltage Divider Rule to get it (I did that for Va) For Vb would I use the total impedance of all the impedances above the 820 ohms as say Z1 and then the impedance of the 820 Ohm resistor so it would be Vb=V*...

I'm glad it's right, The book tries to simplify things by adding the ohms to help us realize that impedance is similar to ohms when the book get's more complicated it shows the actual capacitance. So I guess the book is kind of in "Training Wheels" mode at the moment :)

I have a circuit here: And I simplified it like so: Did I do it correctly? Thanks, Jordan Homework Statement Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

i is what you would actually put into a calculator i=sqrt(-1) or something like that.

i is what you would actually put into a calculator i=sqrt(-1) or something like that.

what is wrong with 32+i isn't that what the +j32Ohms represents? I thought j was used in electronics because i is used for current.

3. I'm just asking if impedance is equivalent to Resistance when it asks for the Impedance of a Resistor. 4. The equation given is Vs(t)=10sin(400t) and the Inductor L is 80mH so from those two values I came up with the following as the value of the Impedance of the Inductor...

Homework Statement I have a couple of questions about one of my homework assignments any help would be greatly appreciated. 1. How do you find the Voltage drop of a Resistor in an AC Circuit is it similar to DC? V=IR The Resitor value is 68 ohms and there is an 80mH inductor in front of...

Sorry to bash on Physics websites but so far every Physics site I've found has had terrible design, poor teaching and organization. (similar to my teaching) With the exception of this site. (Best Physics Site I've found). I've found great resources for learning on every other subject through...

Cool thank you, And does anyone know a good site to learn Physics it's all going over my head in class.

Thanks for the help i'll try it, anyone know of resources that help you learn Algebra like this, it's really confusing to me. Thanks

Homework Statement mgh=1/2mv^2+1/2mr^2(v/r)^2 I need to solve for v, I'm really stuck on Algebra can anyone show me the steps I'd take to solve for V? Thanks Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Tried thinking it through but I'm getting stuck :( :(

I'm trying to take that into account but I'm still lost I think it's because I'm really rusty on Algebra

Oh yeah, good point

Ok, I used this equation: Vi1+Vi2=Vf1+Vf2 Vi1-Vi2=Vf1-Vf2 which would mean 15m/s + -15m/s=Vf1+Vf2 0=Vf1+Vf2 or Vf1=-Vf2 and 15m/s- -15m/s=Vf1-Vf2 15+15 30m/s=Vf1-Vf2 30m/s=Vf1-Vf1 what am I doing wrong?

I'm reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_collision#One-dimensional_Newtonian I'm confused on what the 'u' means under one dimensional Newtonian, does it just mean velocity? Thanks

The Kinetic Energy is conserved So I guess KEi=KEf or KEi=1/2M1Vi1^2+1/2M2Vi2^2 KEf=1/2M1Vf1^2+1/2M2Vf2^2 Where would I go from there?

Homework Statement Two elastic balls, one with mass m = 50 g and the other with mass M = 3m experience a head-on elastic collision after initially traveling in opposite directions at the same speed v = 15 m/s. Use the conservation of momentum strategy to obtain symbolic expressions and...

Why though? is the plane traveling downward?

Homework Statement A parachutist with mass m = 70 kg jumps from an airplane traveling at a speed v = 100 km/h at a height H = 2500 m and lands with a speed vf = 5.00 m/s. Use the “conservation of energy strategy” to calculate the change in internal energy of the system from just after the...

no never, thanks for the help!

well velocity could be I guess but it's square so it will always be positive.

Ok, that makes sense, what does it mean when it says Total Energy? I think it means E=KE+PE E=1/2mv^2+mgh So Total Energy can be negative because Potential Energy can be negative, is that right?

Homework Statement Explain why it is possible for potential energy and total energy to be either positive or negative, but kinetic energy is always positive Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I'm thinking that Potential Energy and Total Energy can be opposite and take...

Homework Statement I have a problem for Work which looks like this: W=[(5.0i+2.0j)]N * [(2.0i+3.0j)]m =5.0i+2.0i+5.0i*3.0j+2.0j*2.0i+2.0j*3.0j Nm =[10+0+0+6]Nm = 16 How does that work? I don't understand? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

Homework Statement A frieght train has a mass of 1.5x10^7 kg. The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of 7.5X10^5N, so the tracks push forward on the locomotive with a force of equal magnitude. (ignore aerodynamics and friction) how long would it take...

That information was useful to me lol

Homework Statement What does \mathbf{\frac{d\vec{x}}{dt}} mean? If my latex doesn't work that should be dx/dt where x is a vector? Thanks, I think it has something to do with derivatives if so how do I use it? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution

Sorry I'm still a bit confused I first tried solving for Velocity Final LaTeX Code: v_f = v_i + at and did vf=0+2(-10m/s)(-75m) which gave 1500 and then I tried to solve for time using LaTeX Code: s = \\frac{(v_f + v_i)}{2}t and that came out with .1 second but I don't think I'm doing it right. :(

Alright, here is what I got R=L*sin(37) R=1 Diameter=2 Circumference=pi(2) Circumference=6.3 Speed=Distance Traveled/Time Speed=6.3m/2.3s = 2.7m/s Is that right?

accident put wrong post in this forum

Ok, the angle still throws me a little bit off, because won't the displacement (s) be more than 75 meters? Because it is shot up 40 degrees into the air? How do you take that into consideration? Thanks

I didn't really understand our teacher when he taught those formulas, is there a place I can look which teaches the formulas i'll need to use?
