    How Is the Value of 'm' Determined in Interference Equations?

    Thanks, but I'm still unsure as to why "0" is used in the solution instead of "1" or "2".

    How Is the Value of 'm' Determined in Interference Equations?

    Homework Statement http://i.imgur.com/xrba7.png Homework Equations I'm using this equation to find the thickness of the polymer. [(m+(1/2)) λ = 2nt] (where "n" is the index of refraction and "t" is the thickness ) The Attempt at a Solution I just want to know how m is...

    Solving for Point D: How to Find the Intersection of Two Linear Equations

    Whoops. Sorry about the wrong post. When I set the two equal to each other. -x + 275 = (225/250)x + (63000/250) I'm getting the incorrect answer. The book says it should be (230, 45) I keep getting (12.1, 262.9)

    Solving for Point D: How to Find the Intersection of Two Linear Equations

    Homework Statement The problem: [2] http://i.imgur.com/C5VwZ.png Homework Equations So I got the constraints to be 1.x+y(less than or equal to) 275 2.225x+250y (less than or equal to) 63,000 3. x and y (Greater than) 0 So if the line from point A is extrapolated, then where it...

    Music Musical Chills: Do You Experience Them?

    First thingI remembergetting chills from. Still do, but not as much. Ithink it comes from the imagery of the lyrics. "When it all crashes down And you break your crown And you point your finger, but there's no one around" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAGP24eq_0o&ob=av3n And the last things...

    Drug Testing in Schools and Organizations: Addressing Adderall Abuse

    Perhaps he/she meant time. As in being able to concentrate for a longer period. At least that's what I assumed.

    Drug Testing in Schools and Organizations: Addressing Adderall Abuse

    Same. I also get less frustrated with a problem. With it, it's more like, "Oh, I spent all this time and got it wrong. Hmm. I wonder what I did wrong. I'll retrace my steps and recalculate" Without it, "Gaaaah!" and it's hard to even think straight about why it's wrong. I can't even look at...

    What can you expect in the Food Thread on PF?

    Indeed it is. I kept going back... and they kept getting better. Crushed red pepper does nothing for me anymore unless it's from a thai chili.

    Drug Testing in Schools and Organizations: Addressing Adderall Abuse

    If it's an entrance exam, then it's not going to matter. If it's the USMLE, that's different. You need to know why and how everything is affecting the people. It's not as simple as memorizing a word and its definition. So I would imagine that is a safe bet, letting them operate on you.

    What can you expect in the Food Thread on PF?

    Dem peppers... 0.0. I'm a big fan of spicy cooking, but it's hard to find any non-standard peppers (Jalapeno, anaheim, serrano). I used to live near a Korean owned asian market that sold these peppers that were very spicy. They were long and thin and three of them (the first time) destroyed...

    Finding the angle between two vectors

    That's what I used, but I still got 26.5 degrees instead of the 36.9. I got part a correct (finding the Force on the object) so I don't think I did any previous calculations incorrectly for the numbers I'm using now.

    Finding the angle between two vectors

    Homework Statement A force F =( 6 i - 2 j ) N acts on a particle that under goes a displacement D r = ( 3 i + j )m. Find (a) the work done by the force on the particle and (b) the angle between F and D r . Homework Equations I've found the work to be about 16N. My problem is...

    Rev/sec necessary to reach 20-g

    I'm to be calculating how many revolutions per second are required for a person to feel 20-g of acceleration. I was actually going over the quantities used to see what I was left over with. Which was 1.3 seconds. But they want the answer in Revolutions per second. I think this is where I'm...

    Rev/sec necessary to reach 20-g

    Thanks for the laugh. It did seem weird reading the word "feet" in my Physics book, but didn't think too much of it. However, after converting 29 feet to 8.84 meters, and substituting that into the equation I'm getting, after the sqrt, 1.3 for the answer. Is there something else I may be...
