    Indexed Family fo Subsets

    Homework Statement Let f: A \rightarrow B be given and let {X_{\alpha}} for \alpha \in I be an indexed family of subsets of A. Prove: a) f(U_{\alpha\inI} X_{\alpha}) = U_{\alpha\inI}f(X_{\alpha}) The Attempt at a Solution To prove these two things are equal I must show...

    Another simple harmonic motion

    Homework Statement A spring is hung from the ceiling. A 0.400 kg block is then attached to the free end of the spring. When released from rest, the block drops 0.150 m before momentarily coming to rest. (a) What is the spring constant of the spring? (b) Find the angular frequency of...

    Simple harmonic motion

    Homework Statement A 15.8 kg block and a 31.6 kg block are resting on a horizontal frictionless surface. Between the two is squeezed a spring (spring constant = 1868 N/m). The spring is compressed by 0.152 m from its unstrained length and is not attached permanently to either block. With...

    Linear Algebra Dual Basis

    [SOLVED] Linear Algebra Dual Basis Let V= R3 and define f1, f2, f3 in V* as follows: f1 = x -2y f2 = x + y +z f3 = y -3z part (a): prove that {f1, f2, f3} is a basis for V* I did this by using the gauss jordan method and showing that {f1, f2, f3} is linearly independent. Now...
