If I was in the car driving westward, how fast would I have to drive in order for the Sun to appear as if it is not moving.. In other words if I start driving at 1pm, how fast do I have to go so I'm always at 1pm.?

While my math struggles continue. I find my self asking if this is the right major I want to chose (astrophysics) I'm in precalculus college level lol.. We are doing domains of comp functions.. and I find it all pointless.. I am very good at algebra and trig... Is this fog (x) stuff really...

So the 6 comes from the fact that (3)(4) = 12 and since I factor out a (2) I would need a (6) to = 12 again? I didn't think we could use a 6 since it was not in the original problem.

Thanks for the help guys.

Having a very hard time in my PRECALC CLASS. When they facto problems they start pulling numbers out of numbers that aren't there.. Example.. 3(4x+5)^2 (4)(5x+1)^2 + (4x+5)^3 (2) (5x+1)(5) Professor said this was the answer. a) 2(4x+5)^2(5x+1)[6(5x+1)+5(4x+5)] = b)...

Okay I will do that, thanks.

Thanks for the response, sorry for wasting a thread.

So right now it is 11:28 pm local time. I live in central time zone, I know east coast is 1 hour ahead of me. But technically, won't 100 feet to the east and 100 feet to the west both have different times? Even if it is just a half a second difference?

What about quantum entanglement? Does this mean, there is something that can travel over the speed of light?

Thanks a lot that really clears it up a bit more.

How do scientists know they act like waves? Wouldn't they have to observe the electron acting as a wave for this to be true, but that contradicts the face that, when they are observed they turn to particles. When scientists look on the other side of the slit, the electrons instantly turn to...

So the laser test with the slits is as followed as far as I understand. When observed, electrons act as particles. When not observed, electrons act as waves. How can electrons know if your eyes are open or closed? Unless your eyes give off some wort of radiation that it can pick up on...

What would be the effects if he pulled his chute too early, or during the spin?

What is the big deal about him spinning?

I said I won't stress it as much anymore, I didn't say "I'm an expert and can now figure out all chemistry problems."
