    Head-on collision with a car equal to ones own vehicle

    For football, one reason it would less hurt you is because you were more ready for impact (ie muscles were ready, better body/leg/shoulder/etc position) therefore there is less chance for you to get a sprained ankle to injured shoulder. As for the car: slow down.

    Volume Problems: Solving for Area and Volume with Integrals

    Sorry got back from lunch, Why would i square 1-sin(x) and then divide the integral by 4?? do you know how to get the integral of : f(x) = 1-sin(x) ?? Well is the equation: (9(x^4))/625 OR (9)(x^(4/625)) ??

    Volume Problems: Solving for Area and Volume with Integrals

    Ok first make sure if you use your calculator that it is in radians... because that is not what I got for the area of #1. By dish method do you mean disk lol? Anyways, since you revolve around the y axis, you have to put your function in terms of x =, now i don't know if what you have is right...

    Volume Problems: Solving for Area and Volume with Integrals

    Something that might help you: Area from a-->b = integral from a-->b of f(x) dx Volume from a-->b = (pi)(integral from a-->b of f(x)squared dx) So for #1 find the integral of: 1-sinx dx (from 0 to pi/2) See what you get!

    What is the concentration of the Ba(OH)2 solution in mol/L?

    You can find the molar mass of Ba(OH)2 with the periodic table, the change in mass of the crucible is the mass of the Ba(OH)2, which means you can find the # of moles of Ba(OH)2 you got. And finally you know that concentration is mole per liter.

    What Formula is Used for Part B of the Elephant and Hydraulic Lift Problem?

    Hehe never took the course but got 0.48 as an answer. Don't forget that the area of a circle is (pie)(r^2). Also little hint: units of pressure are 1Pa = 1N/m^2!, in this case the pressure on both sides are the same. edit: what formula is used for part b?

    Calculating the Frequency of a Tuning Fork Using Resonance Tube Method

    First you ll need to get the v-air which is given by: v = (332.5)(squareroot(T/273)) where T is the temperature in Kelvin. After that you know that v = f x lambda, and now i think: Ln+1 - Ln = 1/2 lambda.

    Understanding the Best Fit Line: What Does It Mean?

    Well I would say it depends on your graph. Let's say you have a linear graph, then you will need to make a straight line that connects most dots.

    Understanding the Best Fit Line: What Does It Mean?

    If you are using Excel, you would have to add a "trend line", or you can always draw it but I'm too lazy for that :P. Anyways it means to draw/put a line on a graph indicating a statistical trend. Some dots can also not be included because of it being a wrong or bad value. In Excel, just right...

    Uncovering the Mass of an Object on Planet X

    Try using this equation: x = (x-initial) + (V-initial)(t) + (1/2)(a)(t^2) (remember that in your case the change in x = 0, which means x - (x-initial) = 0) Someone correct me if I am wrong :0

    Engineering Most useful (spoken) language to learn for a Nuclear Engineer?

    I'm a native French speaker from Quebec, but I learned English starting in grade 6 then kept studying in English. Rosetta stone is a great way to do it and easy to find with Amazon, yes its a little expensive but seems to do the work well since it has good ratings. Here is the link...
