    Calculating Spatial Separation Using Lorentz Transforms: Homework Solution

    Could you give me maybe a walk through on how to find that or even the problem. I am really at a loss, I missed a week of classes because i was sick.

    Calculating Spatial Separation Using Lorentz Transforms: Homework Solution

    I know the speed of light is invariant. The way I worked it was putting it through the Lorentz time transform solving for v. then put that v in the x Lorentz transform

    Calculating Spatial Separation Using Lorentz Transforms: Homework Solution

    Homework Statement Two events occur at the same place in a certain inertial frame and are separated by a time interval of 4 seconds. What is the spatial separation between these two events in an inertial frame in which the events are separated by a time interval of 6 seconds? Homework...

    Length of a Curve Homework: 0-1, 3ti+8t^(3/2)j+12t^2k

    Homework Statement 3ti+ 8t^{(3/2)}j + 12t^{2}k 0 \leq t \leq 1 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I thought you are supposed to take the derivative of all three then square that. those all go into the length formula My book says answer should be 15 but I am not...

    How Do You Calculate y = 5 + 8x^(3/2) from 0 to 1?

    OK I just put it in and it said it was wrong so I don't care anymore. I think its right as do all of you so I am going with the homework having a typo in the answer. Thanks again

    How Do You Calculate y = 5 + 8x^(3/2) from 0 to 1?

    ok i have got to the that point is that answer right? then you just substitute the 1 in and that's the answer? I just want to know that I did it right my online homework is picky about the answer format. Thanks to all

    How Do You Calculate y = 5 + 8x^(3/2) from 0 to 1?

    Arc length is the Integral of sqrt(1+(f '(x))^2) so Derivative of the equation is 12x^1/2. Then I believe you are supposed to square that. Thats the same as (sqrt(12x))^2 right? so I tired it like that I also did 12x^1/2 * 12x^1/2= 144x so then I know you finish of the integral. I used U...

    How Do You Calculate y = 5 + 8x^(3/2) from 0 to 1?

    Homework Statement y = 5 + 8x^3/2 from 0 to 1 Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I have tried it a few times Keep getting variations of 1+ 12\sqrt{12}. I would like some to give me a step by step how to work it. Something is killing me on this I am lost.

    Momentum of blocks compressing spring

    Oh ok so the total kinetic energy plus the spring energy equals the original energy of the system. I might not have said the right but I understand what your saying. I was just having a hard time figuring out where the energy went but then, like you showed, it wasnt a perfectly elastic...

    Momentum of blocks compressing spring

    Homework Statement In the figure below, block 1 (mass 1.6 kg) is moving rightward at 8 m/s and block 2 (mass 4.2 kg) is moving rightward at 2.8 m/s. The surface is frictionless, and a spring with spring constant of 1120 N/m is fixed to block 2. When the blocks collide, the compression of the...

    How Do You Integrate 59x(cos(x))^2?

    just did x(1+co(2x)/(2)) Do i distribute or use by parts now?

    How Do You Integrate 59x(cos(x))^2?

    I got the the answer to be 59(\frac{1}{4}x sin(2x) + \frac{1}{8}cos(2x) + \frac{x^2}{4}) But this was from my calculator I still don't know how to do it.
