MHB Mechanics- general motion in a straight line.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the motion of a ball bearing fired vertically upwards through a tub of butter, with a focus on calculating various aspects of its motion. The upward velocity is defined by the equation v=13-10t-3t^2 cm/s, and participants are asked to determine when the ball bearing comes to rest and how far it travels upwards at that point. The downward motion is described by the equation v=10T cm/s, and the challenge lies in calculating the time taken for the ball bearing to fall back to its original position after it momentarily stops. There is confusion regarding the integration process needed to solve for the time in part (c). Clarification is sought on how to correctly set up and solve the integral equation related to the downward motion.

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!
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
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...
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...
