    What is the ratio after 1 month given certain conditions?

    I have everything there in the post that is relevant to this specific problem having to do with the ratio of pregnant:non-pregnant after 1 month of trying(the cycle ratio(with its almost equal split), the miscarriage rates for 3, 4, and 5 weeks past the safe part of the cycle, the miscarriage...

    What is the ratio after 1 month given certain conditions?

    So this question is a math question having to do with me calculating the rate of population growth starting from a population of 100,000. I have already gotten the first 3 steps done (sex ratio, ratio of cycle time, and pregnancy ratio) after a week among those in the fertile timeframe...

    What is the period of this binary orbit?

    Okay, so let's simplify things and look at the ideal case, where the 2 masses are the same. Well, this gives us a sine wave pattern to the orbital velocity. Consequently, the acceleration would follow a cosine wave since the derivative of velocity is acceleration and the derivative of sine is...

    Are my calculations of the pregnancy ratio of the population correct?

    Monthly Cycle numbers Here is the cycle ratio: $$2_{early}:2_{fertile}:1_{late}$$ And the numbers: $$20,000_{early}:20,000_{fertile}:10,000_{late}$$ Now, let's divide the early into 2 groups, pre-fertile, and safe and assume there is a 50/50 split between those 2 groups. Let's also assume...

    How Long Does It Take for a Boomerang to Return?

    I am interpreting the 30 degree angle as being 30 degrees to the horizontal because that would be the way to interpret going upwards at a 30 degree angle. And I have the axes oriented such that the y-axis is the vertical axis and the z axis is normal to the x-axis like in this picture:

    How Long Does It Take for a Boomerang to Return?

    Well of course gravity is acting on it because gravity acts on all masses. Wait a second, are you suggesting that after the throw, there is no torque causing it to rotate faster and slower and that the only force acting on it is gravity and that the reason it comes back instead of simply falling...

    How Long Does It Take for a Boomerang to Return?

    Homework Statement A boomerang is thrown with an initial linear velocity of 5 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees vertically. The initial angular velocity is ##2\frac{revolutions}{s}## At its peak, it has a displacement about the z axis of 2 meters and about the x-axis of 10 meters. The force applied...

    Writing: Input Wanted Would humanoid strength be comparable to elephant strength?

    Keplerians, 1 of my humanoid species, are so strong, they can carry a bear with just their muscles. Humanoid weight: 200 lbs with a lot of muscle mass Black bear weight: up to 600 lbs, also very muscular That means they can carry up to 3x their weight. That is very strong. But would this...

    Medical Why do doctors assume pneumonia is bacterial?

    I had pneumonia once, it was mild enough(just felt like I had the flu for a month) that I did not go to the doctor because I figured it was viral. I didn't have a stethoscope but just having the flu for a month made me think that it was probably viral pneumonia(unlikely that I would get 1 virus...

    I Is it possible to have a breathable atmosphere at 6 atm

    I thought it was simply air pressure along with temperature that determined whether a certain gas goes into its liquid state or not. And like I said, at 6 atm, CO2 would only be liquid between -56.4 degrees C and -53 degrees C. So wouldn't simply compressing air that has a small amount of CO2 in...

    Writing: Input Wanted Mostly Underground City Stage 1: All on Foot

    This would be the very first stage of cities in my fictional world, everything being on foot. This would have a high incidence of fractures and other injuries. Higher than in possibly any other stage. So first off the strength of my Keplerian humanoid species is impressive. They can carry the...

    I Is it possible to have a breathable atmosphere at 6 atm

    I was wondering if it is possible to have a breathable atmosphere at a sea level pressure of 6 atm(in other words, 6 times Earth's sea level atmospheric pressure). Why am I asking this? Well I know that above 5.11 atm, CO2 is past its triple point and thus it will become a liquid instead of...

    Difference between cast iron and high carbon steel?

    I don't understand the difference between cast iron and high carbon steel. They both are an iron-carbon alloy and they both have a high amount of carbon within the iron metal. Both will oxidize at the same rate without a coating to protect the metal. Stainless steel will oxidize, it just takes...

    MHB Population formula part 1: Birth

    Well it may be that it is non-linear. But humans would be the closest to linear. And it is complicated in a way. All the factors I took into it. And no that precision is not excessive and no the number of decimal places is not wrong. But with these numbers, I find scientific notation just makes...

    MHB Population formula part 1: Birth

    I need my formula checked. It involves pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, stillbirth rate, time breastfeeding, average generation length, multiples, and average number of pregnancies. So let's start off with the conditions: Plenty of food and water for millions Cosmic ray protection...
