    Redirecting Input and Output in C.

    You can also input or output to a string using sscanf and sprintf. Very helpful when you use fgets and you don't want the carriage return character, imo

    Solving: Why Destroying a Queue Doesn't Work

    Homework Statement All I need is an explanation as to why the algorithm I've been given doesn't destroy the queue properly. When I use the code below, and I check if q is NULL or not, it says it isn't, and I'd like to know why. Thanks :)Homework Equations None, this is computer science...

    How Do You Solve This Pulley and Friction Problem?

    Homework Statement At the instant shown the 100-lb block A is moving down the plane at 5 ft/s while being attached to the 50-lb block B. If the coefficient of friction is µk = 0.2, determine the acceleration of A and the distance A slides before it stops. Neglect the mass of the pulleys and...

    Particle Velocity and Distance in a Straight Line with -2v Acceleration

    Homework Statement A particle is moving along a straight line such that its acceleration is defined as a = (-2v) m/s^2, where v is in meters per second. If v = 20 m/s when s = 0 and t = 0, determine the particle's velocity as a function of position, and the distance the particle moves before...

    Molecularity Q: 2NO -> N2 + O2 Bimolecular?

    I was wondering, would something like 2NO -> N2 + O2 be bimolecular or unimolecular? Seeing as it needs 2 molecules in order for the reaction to be complete, that's why I think it'd be bimolecular. But, seeing as it's only one unique molecule, is it unimolecular?
