I calculated q(a)=1s
q(b)=7cm
I don't understand q(c)

Apologies.
A ball bearing is fired vertically upwards in a straight line through a tub of butter. The upward velocity of the ball bearing is given by v=13-10t-3t^2 cm/s, where t is the time from when it was fired upwards.
a) Find the time when the ball bearing comes momentarily to rest
b) Find how far the ball bearing has traveled upwards at this time

The ball bearing then falls downwards through the hole it has made in the butter. The downward velocity of the ball bearing is given by v= 10T cm/s, where T is the time from when it was momentarily at rest.
C) Find the time that the ball bearing takes ( from when it was momentarily at rest) to fall to its original position.
Iam not understand how to calculate (c)
 
$\displaystyle \int_0^t 10T \, dT = 7$

solve for $t$

Thank you very much!
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
I'm interested to know whether the equation $$1 = 2 - \frac{1}{2 - \frac{1}{2 - \cdots}}$$ is true or not. It can be shown easily that if the continued fraction converges, it cannot converge to anything else than 1. It seems that if the continued fraction converges, the convergence is very slow. The apparent slowness of the convergence makes it difficult to estimate the presence of true convergence numerically. At the moment I don't know whether this converges or not.
