    I Why is cooling with salt and ice so effective?

    This is used a bit loosely for my tastes. Are there not 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom bonded together in water vapor? Also consider how pressure effects it as well. Think of the boiling point of water at high altitudes. I would recommend Tro's general chemistry book, you would probably...

    Chemistry Chemistry textbook for physics majors?

    That is the book I used for general chemistry, if you want a physics type treatment you should hit up a physical chemistry book. If you want a more in depth math approach to the acid base type stuff an analytical chemistry book would work. Although I don't know how far you would get without...

    Why do lower temperatures result in lower specific heat capacity?

    Specific heat capacity is actually temperature dependent, that's why in physics books you see a different value than chemistry books.in chemistry books they measure it at 25 C and in physics they average it from 0-100. Your explanation of heat energy being lost while moving through the air is...

    What Is b^2-4ac? Quadratic Formula Explained

    It's the discriminant, if I spelled that right. Its value let's you know if you have complex or real solutions.

    Integrating for area of intersection

    I think you aren't as confused as you think. He us just showing properties of the integral in a general sense. That way of writing might be intimidating if you don't have any formal knowledge on the subject.

    Why wouldn't half-reactions in a battery just go on?

    Without the wire would you have electrons flowing from one to the other?

    Integrating for area of intersection

    I'm not 100% what you're asking, but it sounds to me like you are trying to find the area bound by the intersection of two curves. One thing you may have to consider is if they only intersect at two points within those limits. If they only intersect at two points within your limits, you can...

    Zero Acceleration in Running and in a Car

    1) If you ignore all of the bodily operations that make your body work, you are consuming energy by muscle contractions. You consume energy by horizontal movement too, you have to push on the Earth in the opposite direction as your motion. As a result of Newtons 3rd law, the Earth pushes you...

    How Do You Integrate (x^2+x)/(x^2+x+1) from 0 to 1?

    I think I got it, thanks. I would have been beating my head against the wall all day otherwise.

    How Do You Integrate (x^2+x)/(x^2+x+1) from 0 to 1?

    HMM, this seems to make it easy. I would have never thought of that otherwise.

    How Do You Integrate (x^2+x)/(x^2+x+1) from 0 to 1?

    Well, yes the constant would be 1. I just realized I made a typo on the first post, sorry. Its (x^2-x)/(x^2+x+1) the problem is correct in the picture I posted.

    How Do You Integrate (x^2+x)/(x^2+x+1) from 0 to 1?

    You could add 2x+1 and that would be the derivative of the denominator. Then I would have to do that to the denominator. I'll see what I can figure out and post my work.
