    Prove that 5^(2/3) is irrational

    Homework Statement Prove that 5^(2/3) is irrational Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I tried writing a proof but that is not getting me any where. This is what I did so far - Show that 52/3 is irrational Proof: Suppose that 52/3 is rational: 52/3 = a/b...

    Rocket Propulsion - Varying mass

    Homework Statement A rocket at rest in space, where there is virtually no gravitational force, has a mass of 2.55 * 105 kg, of which 1.81*105 kg is fuel.The engine consumes fuel at the rate of 480 kg/s and the xhaust speed is 3.27 m/s. The engine is fired for 250 s. Find the thrust of the...

    Find distance for gravity to do only -4 J of work

    I know this is wrong because there's no way the answer can be this simple ... W=F.d -4 = mgsin30 * d d = -4/20sin30 d = -.4 .4 to the left is that even righttt?

    Spring force, find the speed at equilibrium

    A .50 kg block sliding on horizontal frictionless surface is attached to one end of a horizontal spring (with k = 500 N/M) whose other end is fixed. The block has a kinetic energy of 20J as it pass through its equilibrium position (the point at which the spring force is zero.) what is the speed...
