Does the plane that intersects the cone need to be parallell to the axis of the cone to make the section a hyperbola, or is it enough that it is not parallell to a generator? If the latter is correct, can one say that a parabola is a special case of a hyperbola?

I don't know where have I gone wrong... I converted Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates: \frac{\partial^2\Psi}{\partial x^2} +\frac{\partial^2\Psi}{\partial y^2}= \frac{1}{2}(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2 }{\partial y^2})\Psi^2 - \Psi(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial...

With the success of my effort to write the orbits of the Schwarzschild metric in "Cartesian" coordinates, (see https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=126996 ) it is now time to compute the orbits for Painleve coordinates. When I'm done, I will have an applet that allows the computation...

Hello everyone. I read in a book that for metric spaces (X, \rho), (Y, \sigma) we can form the metric space (X \times Y, \tau_p) , for 1 \leq p < \infty where \tau_p is given by: \tau_p((x_1,y_1), (x_2,y_2)) = (\rho(x_1,x_2)^p + \sigma(y_1,y_2)^p)^\frac{1}{p} I can easily verify the...

I have no clue where to start on this question. Use Cartesian vectors in two-space to prove that the line segments joining midpoints of the consecutive sides of a quadrilateral form a parallelogram. Atm all i can deduce from the information is that vectors 2A+2B+2C+2D=0 therefore midpoint...

This is driving me crazy, I just can't see how to do it. I want to express the cartesian unit vectors \hat{x}, \hat{y} and \hat{z} in terms of the spherical unit vectors \hat{r}, \hat{\theta} and \hat{\phi}. I have tried to do something similar in polar coordinates (just to make it a bit simpler...

i would like to know how a cartesian diver works using mathematics. I have found how the diver works using words and explanation but not using equations and math. Please HELP!

Given the typical cartesian xyz- coordinate system, is it correct to speak of a position vector? Isn't (x,y, z) just shothand for the coordinates? Distance vectors, force, velocity are real vectors with magnitude and direction in position space, but what is with a position vector in position...

(1)If you are given the parametric equations x = sin(2\pi\t) y = cos(2\pi\t) and 0\leq t\leq 1 how would you find the cartesian equation for a curve that contains the parametrized curve? Using the identity \sin^{2}\theta + cos^{2}\theta = 1 would it be x^{2} + y^{2} = 1 ? Thanks

Hi everybody, When we have two sets A and B , we define the cartesian product of A and B as the set A*B={(x,y): (x element of A) and (y element of B)}. We also define A*A*...*A (n factors)=A^n. So when we write (A^2)*B, this is the same as A*A*B? I mean, for example (R^2)*R is the same as...
