Well I created an equation but its implicitly defined. I am not sure if the computer would have a problem with this. But I do considering i would like to be able to map this out without the assistance of a computer.
Here is what I have gotten so far(linked image), but maybe I am overthinking the...
Hi all I have been trying to find A set of equations that can allow me to map the movement of a planetary body on a polar coordinate sheet (a 2-D Problem). As well as allow me to find out about information such as the perigee and apogee radaii.
So far i have been using Keplers equations and...
Homework Statement
A particle in central force field has the orbit r=cφ^2, c is a constant. Find the potential energy, Find r and phi in terms of t.
I get how to find the potential energy and found it to be U=-l^2/mu (2c/r^3+l/2r^2)
l is angular momentum and mu is the reduced mass
But how do I...
No, it gets very weird, I tried to define cos(theta) in terms of x and s(the arclenght of the ramp) to make it solvable (I suppose like a gradient), but then I am left with a Theta somewhere in the equation because I cannot find a way to define x without using hsin(theta) or something like it.
I...
The question is indeed considering friction throughout the entire loop the loop, and I agree, the Integral gets very messy. This isn't for high school though, college.
Question: If the Radius of the loop-the-loop is 10meters, from how high above the ground should the object be dropped in order to successfully complete the loop, with friction?
I attempted to solve it, but get the integral of cos(theta)dx, or more properly ds, and i do not know how to...
Hi all, I am very confused on how to define the vector product or cross product in a physical sense. I know the vector product is a psuedovector, and that it is the area of a parallelogram geometrically. However, I know it used used to describe rotation in physics. As with torque, magnetism and...
For an Ap Physics Homework assignment our teacher had us calculate the Nuclear Strong Force for a Helium nucleus with a diameter of 2 femtometers. However, the intention was to calculate the nuclear strong force by assuming that the nucleus is intact, in such a case the particles would not be...
