A bead lies on a smooth table connected to a light string through a hole in the table to a 2nd bead of mass M. The 1st bead moves in a circle of radius r while the 2nd bead remains stationary. show the speed of the 1st bead is

hey i put the extra negative sign in there because its in the negative Z direction so we have the vector -K

I've tried to find the second part of the equation
however i realized the dz/dt is equal to velocity not speed  so i'm still not sure how to get the

#4 Re: Help Me ! » continuous » 2008-04-27 19:54:22

So if i re-write it like this then


isn't this continuous if x does not equal 4

but if x equals 4  then f(x)=8 which is not continuous for all real values of x

therefore the function is not continuous????

show the function f:R->R

when x does not equal 4
                        8 when x equals 4

is continuous on R

so i've got a question which i'm stuck on
prove

p divides (p-1)!+1
the converse of wilsons theorem
now i've googled this but all i can find is history about this theorem but no proof does anyone know it?? please help

a and b are elements of group G. show that ab and ba have the same order. to complete this question iam suppose to find a reationship between (ab)^n and (ba)^n using the general associative law

I'm a little confused how to do this question as i would have used the comutative law which must be wrong because the question is worth a lot of marks please help me i have an exam on algebra soon and its quite worrying i can't answer this question sad

#9 Re: Help Me ! » index laws » 2008-04-25 07:32:41

so you can prove the base step is true for n=1 by

]

for the induction step if you let N=m+n



dividing by x we get

i think that may be right any other suggestions???

I don't think there is any need for rudeness, this person requires help there's no need for put downs

A parachutist of mass m, falling vertically with mass m , speed U at height h above ground, he experiences a resistance equal to

show that the velocity at time t is

so this is what i've done so far

from newtons 2nd i get:


which becomes:
where K is the position vector

taking the dot product i with the z components we get

dividing by m

let

then we get:

the integrating factor is


this becomes:

integrating this gives:

which becomes:
where

so

So i get the general solution

Now its obvious this is not the required solution if anyone can please help me to get the complete solution i will be very gratefull

Let G be the group

the set of binary vectors
in which ai=0 or 1

Let H be the subset of G consisting of all binary vectors with an even number of 1's. show that H is a subgroup of G.

Determine the order of H

please help me with this question i've had a look at proofs of lagranges theorem but i dont really see how i can possibly apply it to this question.
