No worries...my division by 3 is bullsh*t :eek: basically...I moved the Cat's z-position if the difference in z coordinates of the cat and mouse was greater than equal to a third of the distance in which the bomb can hit. Just something to move the z to a better position...hopefully...

Hey, thanks a lot for the info. However, the assignment was due (and turned in yesterday) :eek: Anyway, I think I did okay, but I was fortunate enough to get a couple of responses from my Professor (wasn't expecting that :wink: ) When I asked him a very close to the way I posted the...

"3D Space Pursuit Problem" Homework Statement This is actually a programming assignment, more than a physics problem. However the issue I'm having is more with the math/physics than with the programming. Anyway here it goes: Write a simulation program and test it for a three...

Hi, I am taking a Data Mining course and have this problem in radial visualization. To complete this problem, we use some physics formulas, which I really do not understand. Derive formulas for radial visualization of: a. 3-dimensional samples b. 8-dimensional samples Homework Equations...

I think I've used that equation...is that for #3?

I think a "general problem solving strategy" would do it...a lot of these problems seem similar. If you understand these problems, anything you think that would be helpful would be really cool.

Great! This forum is full of lifesavers :D

Damn light & lens problems :( The problems come from a homework that I've already submitted. I got some right and some wrong, but the ones that I did correctly I'm not too confident in method (which including guessing at times). There's really not really a lot of calculations involved in...

For some reason my last post posted several times...not sure...I did hit refresh on the forum, but not the posting.

I have one more similar problem: A board has two small slits separated by a small distance d. A light ray of a certain wavelength is shone through the holes. A screen is placed in front of the holes and bright fringes are displayed on it. If the light wavelength is 656 nm, the distance...

:D I didn't see that..thanks! On the second problem, I'm thinking: "triple the distance between the slits" My reason is: m*LAMBDA = d * y/L m*LAMBDA = d * 3y/L y = (1/3) * (LAMBDA * m * L)/d on the right track?
