    Partial Derivatives of f(x,y,z): Solve Confusing Homework

    Homework Statement I need to find the partial derivitives of f(x,y,z)=50-14x+3y^2-2xy (e^z) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution i think the x-partial would be -14+2ye^z+2xye^z... but I'm not sure and I'm confused of how to find the others!

    Electron speed due to magnetic field.

    The magnetic field for B-Bar is definitely 10MN/C the book says that vector B is in units of tesla which is: (N/C)(m/s^-1)

    Electron speed due to magnetic field.

    the B-bar is measured in tesla. and if the electric field vector is the one that is given, how do I find the magnetic field in order to use the equation Fm=mv^2/B if i am trying to solve for v??

    How Fast Does a Spaceship Travel from Earth to Pluto and Back in 11 Hours?

    Homework Statement A spaceship leaves earth, travels to Pluto (which os 5 hours of distance away at the time), and then returns to Earth in exactyly 11 hours later. assume the spaceships acceleration time is very short so it is always traveling at a constant speed. also assume that Earth and...

    Do I Need the Acceleration Force for a Loop de Loop Diagram?

    thanks that helps a lot for the free body diagram, but for the net force diagram i will then have to vectors pointing downward for the normal and the gravitational force. So then would the net force be pointing downward as well? or do i include something about centripital acceleration in there?
