I'm taking cal 2 right now and i missed the part in cal 1 where he talked about "log theorem". Now this guy tells us that he's lazy when he corrects exams and if we don't use the log theorem to derive a term then he won't correct that term. I've looked on the net but couldn't find explanation or...

Hello, I have very interesting physics problem. But i really have no idea how to solve it... Maybe somebody can give me some useful hints? Here we go: "Air drag (air resistance, drag) is a resisitvie force which is the result of a moving object colliding with air molecules. Dervie the drag...

In the same way that it is possible to derive most trigonometric identities from the addition formulas, what is the way that the difference of sines and cosines formulas were derived, such as \sin{a}-\sin{b}=2\cos{\frac{a+b}{2}}\sin{\frac{a-b}{2}} thanks, I am trying to avoid as much...

A question that I've spent hours on, but still can't seem to extract friction from it: 10.) A flight attendant pulls her 70.0N flight bag a distance of 253m along a level airport floor a a constant velocity. The force she exerts is 40.0N an angle of 52.0 Degrees horizontal. Find the...

How do you derivate this: x^(x/8)=4x Can anyone help?

Does anyone know a website that will derive the force from different spring configurations, i.e. two springs in series with different spring constants. I would just like to be able to understand and work with any combination of springs: two in series, connected to 3 in parallel connected to one...

The forumula for 2¶r can intergrated to make ¶r^2 (at least I think). So can anyone derive the volume of a sphere 4/3¶r^3?

I'm asked to derive the mathematical expression for the erlationship of centripetal force as a function of T, m, and R. I've found, from data, that F=0.615/T^2 = 0.05m = 1/4R how would I bring it all together to form one equation involving T^2, m, and R? Any help, thanks.

Hi guys, Need a spot of help as i can't seem to find where to go next :( Ok, so there is a source which emits beta particles (currently unknown whether they are positrons or electrons). It can move at an angle +/- 90 degrees to the GM tube. I need to find an expression for the energy of the...

A circular cone is inscribed in a sphere with a radius of 30cm. The semi vertical angle is theta. Derive a trigonometric equation for the volume of the cone. This has be stumped. I tried looking up proofs for the expression of the volume of a cone for inspiration but all involve calculus.

I have a box at rest on a plane raised to the critical angle. I need to derive the formula \mu_s=mgtan(\theta) I know f_s/n=\mu n=f_y=mgcos(\theta) f_s=f_x=mgsin(\theta) This leaves me with tan(\theta)=\mu cause the mg cancel out... what did I do wrong?

Pretty much like the title says. I'm having a hard time finding where the formula: d=1/2gt^2 comes from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having trouble with this question. It's from Rindler's Introduction to Special Relativity which I'm going through myself. I'm just starting to learn about tensors. <<<<i) A vector A^i has components \dot{x}, \dot{y} in rectangular Cartesian coordinates; what are its components in polar...

Hi! How to relate the Young's Modulus with the coefficient of linear thermal expansion? It is known that they are inversely proportional to each other, but how to prove this?

(Projectile Motion)How to derive the equation?? I made a device which use elastic band to launch a ping pong ball. I have measured the distance traveled with different length of stretch at constant 36 degree launch angle. The graph plotted out is kind of curved, not straight line. And now I am...

I've been trying to derive the Roche Limit and have been successful for the most part but out of curiosity i was wondering how the tidal force equation was derived to be: -2GMmr/d^3 ?? Also on a related note i always get the constant at the front of the Roche Limit equation to be the cube...

I am programming a software which generates random (or close too) numbers. I am adding a multi-player feature to it. I ask the user how many players there are (variable P'), and how many turns in a row each player gets (variable e, for every). I also know the total amount of global turns that...

when we derive a formula for blackbody radiation, we say that each electromagnetic mode has energy nhf, n is an integer, h is Planck's constant f is the frequency of the radiation. We interpret n as the number of photons per mode. However, a deeper QM analysis involves replacing the...

How do we derive the equilibrium constant formula? ie: Kc= [C]^c*[D]^d/ [A]^a*^b Thanks in advance. :smile:

Can anyone derive the equation e=mc2 for me. :approve:

I didn't know where else to post this, so sorry if this is the wrong subforum. Anyway, I bought myself a physics textbook for self-teaching purposes. I decided to take a look at its Fields chapters, and now I know how to derive Coulomb's Law using F=eE and Φ=∫ E dS. Right, so how advanced is...

Using the fact that z=e^ibeta and the identity 1 + z + z^2...+z^n=1-z^(n+1)/1-z Help me derive 1 + cosbeta +cos2beta + ... +cosnbeta= 1/2 + sin((2n+1)beta/2)/2sin(beta/2) where beta is between 0 and 2pi

Hey everyone, I am doing relativisitc physics right now, and in my notes the following formula was derived. t' = t\sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2}} they use two main pictures to describe this, http://aci.mta.ca/Courses/Physics/4701/EText/TimeDilation.html they are. I am just wondering if...

Setting the Stage: A uniform sphere has a mass of 100 kilograms and a radius of 10 meters. It is located at [0,0,0] It is in static equilibrium. We are in constant time. We are in a vacuum, there is no gravity, friction, or any other forces to act upon our sphere. We are using a...
