    Is a High-Cost Undergraduate Degree Worth the Debt for Aspiring Scientists?

    Pretty sure Harvard, Stanford, Duke and those other places do. For the UC system, they only accept junior year transfers though and they aren't exactly cheap either. What about Canada? College there is less than $47k a year and there's public transport (depends...). And don't get hooked on...

    Velocity and Acceleration Parallel?

    Homework Statement If the object is not thrown straight up or down, is there any point along the path where the velocity and acceleration vectors are parallel to each other? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I know that velocity would be positive, but while moving...

    Converting Distance- Time Graph to Velocity- Time

    Oh, I'm sorry. I never considered the fact it wasn't linear, which was stupid... At first I was confused where the equations came from, but now I realized it was from v= v_0 +at y=.5at^2+v_0t I finally got the right slope! Thank you :)

    Converting Distance- Time Graph to Velocity- Time

    I'm still confused on why my slope on my v vs t graph isn't anywhere near 9.80 though. Distance of Fall (m) .10 .50 1.00 1.70 2.00 Time of Fall (s) .14 .32 . 46 .59 .63 Velocity (D/T) (m/s) .714 1.56 2.17 2.88 3.17

    Converting Distance- Time Graph to Velocity- Time

    I didn't think of it that way, but I'll try it out now. Thanks!

    Converting Distance- Time Graph to Velocity- Time

    Homework Statement http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/ap/students/physics/ap06_frq_physics_b_form_b.pdf I'm trying to do problem d on page 6. The Attempt at a Solution I divided the distance by the time to get each velocity and graphed it. When I took the slope of the line...
