    Displacement caused by Coriolis effect -

    z = 1/2gt^2 x = v^2sin2(theta)/g pretty sure we don't need y in this case. am i along the right lines? still not sure how to get what they got using these

    Displacement caused by Coriolis effect -

    I was using an equation of motion which relates the acceleration in the Earth's rotating frame and a non moving frame and i tried to intergrate it to get the answer they wanted a = a' - 2wXv' + wX(wXx') where a, a', w, v' and x' are vectors and X is the cross product

    Displacement caused by Coriolis effect -

    http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/6590/mwsnap001.jpg The image above shows the question I'm stuck on. I've done the first part and got the force per unit mass to be -2wV'cos\lambda But I have no idea how to get the equation for the eastward displacement due to the Coreolis. Any...

    Finding Equation of Motion for Oscillations Using Lagrangian Methods

    It's from a Lagrangian Mechanics module I'm doing. I'm studying Physics. I managed to do the question in the end :)

    Finding Equation of Motion for Oscillations Using Lagrangian Methods

    1. A rigid straight uniform bar of mass m and length l is attached by a frictionless hinge at one end to a fixed wall so that it can move in a vertical plane. At a distance a from the hinge it is supported by a spring of stiffness constant k, as shown in the figure Ignoring gravitational...

    Can a neutral pion go to two electron anti electron pairs

    Basically can a neutral pion go to two electrons and two positrons and under what interaction would it do this? I know its defiantly not the strong force, so is it weak or EM? I'm pretty sure its EM but not 100% Thanks

    Does anyone know when the LHC will be open to the public again?

    I am hoping to visit CERN at some point, but the underground areas are closed off at the moment. So just wondering if anyone knows when it's open to the public again Thanks :)

    Nevermind, I've Done It!" - Success Achieved!

    \phi = \phi(0) + w(0)*t +(1/2 alpha*time-squared)?

    Nevermind, I've Done It!" - Success Achieved!

    I've been trying for a while now. I don't know how to relate \phi with the distance rolled down the plane. Could really use some help if you know anything that would help. Thanks
