parametric equations

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Uh, which one? Lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

last 3, i know rest of the stuff

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to make the effort. I did the rest. All you have to do is combine the steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i will try...what's f ' and h '

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for arc length, am i suppose to integrate like this \[ds = \sqrt{1+(\sqrt{2g(1-y)})^2} dt\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for g? what is cartesian and parametric equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean i know for parametric equation, \[x^2 + y^2 = r^2..\] r is radius here...so should i insert y=1 and x=\[\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }\] and solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. g = acceleration due to gravity.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are still in cartesian co-ordinates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know parametric equation but what is cartesian equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cartesian system is also called as rectangular co-ordinate system

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so is it simple equations like y = mx + b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my arc length step is correct right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for part "f" of the questiom, they asked for "differential element" not complete length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then integrate with "u"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i m confused i know replace 9.8 for g, then what am i suppose to do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does question "f" say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Express ds......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so integrate \[\int\limits_{}^{} ds = \int\limits_{}^{} \sqrt{1+\sqrt{2*9.8(1-y)^2}}\] like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question asks for ds interms of "f" and "h"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ya what's f and h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you have to read the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x and y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. then read our solution from last time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg this is so confusing ... how to replce it with f and h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what was the "ds" from previous steps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sqrt of 1+2g(1-y)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

times dt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ya sry abt tht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \text{we had:}\\ {ds\over st}=\sqrt{1+2g(1-y)}\\ \frac{ds}{\sqrt{1+2g(1-y)}}=dt\\ {\rm but}\quad y=h(u)\quad ds=\sqrt{f'^2+y'^2}du \]plug in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is st?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where do you see "st"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, thats a typo. it should be "dt"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it y = \[\sqrt{(1+ 2g(1-y)^2)} du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh nm its not true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no we are concerned with "ds" and "dt"we have to change all "ds" terms to "du" all x,y to their parametric form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you please do it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait i think i got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the main relation is \[{ds\over\sqrt{1+2g(1-y)}}=dt\] in this, plug in the relation for "ds" and "y"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lemme try first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ds = \sqrt{1^2+19.6(1-y)^2} du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its parametric right

OpenStudy (goformit100):

For Solving this Question, I would like to ask you that, do you have the detailed conception of : Paramatric Equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@goformit100 no i don't. I am studying on my own. That's the reason I am not understanding this concept
