Aparticle slides frictionlessly along a path in a vertical plane from point a to a lower point b under the force of gravity. the brachistochrone problem is to find the path that gives the minimum travel time when the particle starts from rest at a. find a solution for the path. you can take point a to be the origin of your coordinate system hint: you should find that you need to evaluate an integral of form v2 dy, where a is a constant. make the substitution y = a(1-cos θ). this will allow you to find a parametric solution for the minimum time path in terms of θ

Bob camina 200 m sur, luego trota 400 m suroeste, luego camina 200 m en una dirección 30? norte del este. a. dibuje una gráfica de los movimientos de bob. use una regla y transportador. b. use método gráfico y analíitico para hallar el desplazamiento total que bob recorrió. (magnitud y dirección) c. compare los resultados obtenidos por el método gráfico y analítico. (por ciento de diferencia).

Two loudspeakers, 5.5 m apart and facing each other, play identical sounds of the same frequency. you stand halfway between them, where there is a maximum of sound intensity. moving from this point toward one of the speakers, you encounter a minimum of sound intensity when you have moved 0.33 m . assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s. part a) what is the frequency of the sound? part b) if the frequency is then increased while you remain 0.21 m from the center, what is the first frequency for which that location will be a maximum of sound intensity? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Learning goal: to understand newton's 1st law. newton's principia states this first law of motion: an object subject to no net force maintains its state of motion, either at rest or at constant speed in a right line. this law may be restated as follows: if the sum of all forces acting on an object is zero, then the acceleration of that object is zero. mathematically this is just a special case of the 2nd law of motion, f⃗ =ma⃗ , when f⃗ =0. when studying newtonian mechanics, it is best to remember the 1st law in two ways: if the net force (i. e., sum of all forces) acting on an object is zero, the object will keep moving with constant velocity (which may be zero). if an object is moving with constant velocity, that is, with zero acceleration, then the net force acting on that object must be zero. complete the following sentences to see if you can apply these ideas. part a if a car is moving to the left with constant velocity, one can conclude that
