    Programs What can you build or repair with $100/$1000 using only school knowledge?

    You are being too overcritical. You obviously do not just jump into engineering without math. I obviously didn't mean completely pointless either. The premise is also that math is included in the other majors. You did not list the the major you completed so I am going to ask why your opinion is...

    Programs What can you build or repair with $100/$1000 using only school knowledge?

    Engineering, math, physics, and chemistry graduates : What items can you produce with only what you learned in school with $100? $1000? List all of them with each having its separate $100 or $1000 budget. List skills you learned that are useful in life that are free as well, such as, finding the...

    Preparing for Exams: Curve-balls & Unseen Problems

    How do you prepare for exams that have curve-balls and/or problems that are not from the lecture or on the homework?

    Math Comparing ChE, physics, and pure math for a professorship with reasonable hours

    Youre using "snob" incorrectly or misunderstand what is going on here because you haven't taken into account all the details i listed. Engineering option completely ignored. Everyone pay attention to this post. This is a dude that understands what is going on. Saw that it was impossible...

    Math Comparing ChE, physics, and pure math for a professorship with reasonable hours

    community colleges don't require a phd.I don't remember talking about money at all.

    Math Comparing ChE, physics, and pure math for a professorship with reasonable hours

    You completely ignored my engineering option. High school is out of the question -- I am not a babysitter.

    Tangential acceleration = g sin(θ) for a ball in vertical circular motion

    whoops xD

    Tangential acceleration = g sin(θ) for a ball in vertical circular motion

    Im only talking about the tangential acceleration. I think Pr=mar+F makes more sense because Pr is mar plus other possible forces. Why is it the other way?

    Tangential acceleration = g sin(θ) for a ball in vertical circular motion

    Why does Pr not include mass?

    Tangential acceleration = g sin(θ) for a ball in vertical circular motion

    Yes, I get hypotenose g and leg at. I want to know what this other leg is -- I don't understand that.

    Tangential acceleration = g sin(θ) for a ball in vertical circular motion

    9.80 m/s2 South. I see a triangle but what is the 3rd side?

    Undergrad What's the Antiderivative of $\tan(x)/x$?

    Use integration by parts twice.

    How to better understand physics material after one reading

    I just read once, attempt the examples, and I solve the basic problems. My CE professor said he read every chapter 3 times. Is there anyway to understand what is going on better?

    Tangential acceleration = g sin(θ) for a ball in vertical circular motion

    I still don't get how this makes sense of at=gsin(x). The transverse component of gravity?
