What is trial: Definition and 80 Discussions

In law, a trial is a coming together of parties to a dispute, to present information (in the form of evidence) in a tribunal, a formal setting with the authority to adjudicate claims or disputes. One form of tribunal is a court. The tribunal, which may occur before a judge, jury, or other designated trier of fact, aims to achieve a resolution to their dispute.

    Can this be solved without trial and error?

    Hi everyone The following problem looks like it needs to be solved by trial and error. Is there a quicker way to do it? I had the answers (but not solutions), so I simply worked backwards to get 11^2-8^2=57. If I had to solve it, I would have made a list of the final digits you'd get if you...

    Kinetic Energy: Trial 1 vs. Trial 2

    So, I know the right solution should be like it has same potential energy initially, in the trial one, since the floor is frictionless, the plane will move too and it shares the potential energy with the block. So in trial 1 the potential energy equals final kinetic energy of the block and...
