I know that the speed of the centre of mass is ##v_{cm}=(mv_0+mv_0)/(2m)=v_0##. But I don't know how to proceed from here with the angular speed around the centre of mass of the system. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello, Regression analysis is about finding/estimating the coefficients for a particular function ##f## that would best fit the data. The function ##f## could be a straight line, an exponential, a power law, etc. The goal remains the same: finding the coefficients. If the data does not show a...

Let ##u## be a generator of ##H^1(\mathbb{R} P^\infty; \mathbb{F}_2)##. Prove the relations $$\text{Sq}^i(u^n) =\binom{n}{i} u^{n+i}$$

Hi there. Happy new year. I am interested in magic squares. I am particularly interested in how to fill a square of order n in a symmetrical and logical way by analyzing the possible ways to achieve a given sum of numbers. My question is about combinatorics analyses. For example for a square...

I'm computing the trajectory of a moving body and my net is composed by 5 stations. My observations are DTOA: difference in time of Arrival (they have been linearized). I am trying to use Least Squares with a linear model: Y = Ax + b, where Y are the observed measurements (DTOA), A the design...

I was looking at the tiles of my home's kitchen when I realized that you can form squares by summing consecutive odd numbers. First, start with one tile, then add one tile to the right, bottom, and right hand corner (3), and so on. Can this be applied somewhere? And has someone found it already?

Proof: Suppose ## p ## and ## p+2 ## are twin primes. Then we have ## p(p+2)+1=p^2+2p+1=(p+1)^2 ##. Thus, ## (p+1)^2 ## is a perfect square. Therefore, if ## 1 ## is added to a product of twin primes, then a perfect square is always obtained.

Given are non-negative integer variables ##x##, ##y## and ##z##. I am trying to deduce the absolute difference between a certain value of ##C=x^2+y^2+z^2## and the very next smallest increase in ##C## possible. I'd like to do this so I can (dis)prove the following: Whether small absolute...

Was fooling around and wrote down these two equations today that appear to work. I'm not all that bright and I'm positive these either have some proof or restate some conjecture--probably something in a textbook. Could somebody help me out? \forall n \in \mathbb{N}_0\smallsetminus\{0\} n^2 =...

Consider the problem in the attached image. The difference between A and B is 0.0020(20). How does one use the least squares method, particularly in matrix form, to find the best value of the masses of A and B respectively, as well as the Q-value? Aren't more measurements needed for the masses...

I'm a little confused how to do this homework problem, I can't seem to obtain the correct answer. I took my vectors v1, v2, and v3 and set up a matrix. So I made my matrix: V = [ (6,0,0,1)T, (0,1,-1,0)T, (1,1,0,-6)T ] and then I had u = [ (0,5,4,0) T ]. I then went to solve using least...

Does anyone know the command or how to find the least squares solution of Ax=b on Ti-89 graphing calculator? I'm trying to check my answers on Ti-89 for those linear algebra problems.

A magic square is a NxN array of numbers from 1 to N2 such that the sum of elements of each row, column and diagonal adds up to the same number, 65 in the case of 5x5's. An example would be: 15 19 4 7 20 6 14 24 16 5 9 21 1 22 12 10 3 23 18 11 25 8...

The magnitude of the momentum ##p## satisfies ##p^2 = p_x^2 + p_y^2 + p_z^2## and this implies the operator equation ##\hat{p}^2 = \hat{p}_x^2 + \hat{p}_y^2 + \hat{p}_z^2##, so we can say that ##\hat{p}^2 = -\hbar^2 (\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial^2}{\partial y^2} +...

A topless square box is made by cutting little squares out of the four corners of a square sheet of metal 12 inches on a side, and then folding up the resulting flaps. What is the largest side area which can be made in this way? What information I have so far is that since the side of the...

Hello. I have listened to a great lecture, which gave helpful intuitive insight into correlation and regression (basic stuff). But there are formulas, which I cannot grasp intuitively and don't know their origin. To remember them I would like to understand what's happening in each part of the...

I don't know how to show that this limit is zero. It seems that ##\sum_{i=1}^N a_{i,N} /N = 1## and the fact that ## 0 < a_{i,N} < M > 1## implies that some ##a_{i,N}## are less than one. Another conclusion I guess is correct to draw is that ##\lim_{N \to \infty} \sum_{i=1}^N a_{i,N}^2 /N < 1##.
