    Undergrad Accuracy, Fibonacci + Golden Ratio

    I have been curious about this for a while... I'm interested to know if there is any easy way to tell the accuracy of the (n+1)th on the nth term of the Fibonacci series in relation to the golden ratio. I know that as n tends to infinity the ratio tends to the Golden Ratio "Phi" - but is...

    How Can I Improve My English Skills for Success in Engineering?

    Confused: Don't worry about it, I didn't really do well in English in school and I have no idea what the hell a prepositional phrase, subject-verb agreements and transitive/intransitive vers are. And seriously? You don't need it if you aren't going into linguistics or you're not a professional...

    Undergrad Does Weight Affect Friction in Winter Driving?

    Actually you're right, ice would probably be close enough to be equal but snow... Imagine a small toy car on the snow, it's coefficient would be much smaller then a truck trying to plow through the snow. I'm not sure which would stop first. I think the larger one would still stop later...

    Undergrad Does Weight Affect Friction in Winter Driving?

    You get more friction, and thus more resistive force, but since f = ma and f = xmg (where x is the coefficient and g is the acceleration due to gravity, hence mg is weight force which is also = to normal force) thus ma = xmg and a = xmg/m a = xg deacceleration (choosing the deacceleration...

    Where is Selfadjoint? Answers to Your Questions

    :'( My message to too short.Edit: Is it bad that I am probably more upset about some physicist that I hardly knew who died then I would be if a family member die? Although I'm not -that- upset, I'm more upset right now then I have been for years.

    Please verify the authenticity of this law

    I don't think not "knowing" a cause is equal to not having a cause.

    Please verify the authenticity of this law

    Where did you see this 'law' posted? Because the way it is phrased is weird. But it looks basically like the definition of Cause and Effect, although, it wouldn't say that they follow the laws of "physics" because "physics" is a study. Maybe if it didn't have the "laws" part, or said "Universe"...

    Do Absolutes Exist? My Perspective

    Even Math has it's axioms. I'm not siding either way, because to say "No" would be saying that the answer "No, there are no absolute truths" is an absolute truths. And I'm not saying "Yes" because they're might not be! You could say, it has to be yes, because it can't be no. But again that...
