    Find the trajectory of a boat that moves in a river

    Homework Statement A boat part from the point P of the bank of a river, with width D, and that flows with a constant velocity VR, and moves with a constant velocity VB, directed towars a point Q, located on the other side of the river directly in front of P. If r is the instantaneous distance...

    Energy and radius of a shock wave

    One last question why is taking the limit when t tends to infinity wrong? because the data just gives me the radius of the shock wave for small values of t

    Energy and radius of a shock wave

    Homework Statement A shock wave moves away from the center of the explosion, its pressure is decreasing, and its speed tends to a constant value. In the filming of a particular explosion, the following data was obtained: t(s): 0, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 ,0.08, 0.1, 0.12, 0.14, 0.16, 0.18...

    Frame of reference in a simple harmonic motion vertical spring

    I have doubts of how can I put my frame of reference in a simple harmonic motion vertical spring. Normally the books choose the origin in the equilibrium position and the positive distance (x>0) downward, and in this conditions Newton´s second law is: ma=-kx; but instead of putting the positive...

    Understanding Free Gibbs Energy: The Role of TΔS in Thermodynamics

    I´m having serious problems with free gibbs energy equation. My main problem is that i don't know the meaning of TΔS that appears in free gibbs formula. I know that S is entropy and T temperature; but some books say that TΔS is energy lost or dispersal energy; energy unavailable to do work; but...
