Thank you for responding. I was able to find some of the report, namely the part describing the Truck Dispatching Problem. [PLAIN]"ftp://124.42.15.59/ck/2011-01/165/020/665/238/The%20Truck%20Dispatching%20Problem.pdf"[/URL] It is the exact problem I am having. I found the stated solution hard...

Homework Statement My dad is driving coal. His truck has a limited coal-capacity, and enough fuel. He drives this coal from the central which has enough coal, to farmers that need different amounts. As there are many farmers, he has to drive back and forth several times. He knows all...

I see, so my problem wasn't with algebra but with my understanding of complex numbers. Then it makes perfect sense! I thank you good sir =P

Homework Statement I was looking up complex numbers and the guy on YouTube made something similar to this equation: i=-1 c^2-(d^2*i^2) = c^2+d^2 ( - 2:55) Homework Equations I do not understand why it is "c^2+d^2" and not "c^2-d^2" I would like a detailed explanation, as I might have...

Thank you very much blochwave ^^

[SOLVED] Aeordynamics, drag, wind resistance - table with Cw values for objects Hello I am not using the standard template as this is a minor question in relation to my assignment, and not the actual questions from the assignment itself. I am calculating the curve of a projectile fired at...

Okay ^^ I think I understand a little more now. Thanks for the enlightenment guys =)

So by using mirrors, as in fiberoptics etc you can make the light last longer as it does not lose so much energy? And what is the energy converted to under collision, heat or sound?

I was wondering, why do light disappear? I am new to physics. I do not understand why I cannot just turn my light on for a second, and the light will bounce back and forth for eternity. Some energy must be lost somehow, is that by colliding with solid objects or what? Also, what is light when...

I believe that was what I have been looking for. Thank you tony873004.

Does anyone of of such an application?

In electronics class we use something called an 'IO-board' which is connected through the serial port. Our teacher has written a script to run it and we can use simple commands to write high/Low out throught 8bit. So we basically use homemade commands like 'getInput()','setDirection()' and...

Hi (I hope I'm posting in the right place) In physics class we are currently working with projectories of comets etc. that reach the orbit of planets, and get pulled in by its gravity. My teacher is currently doing the work in an excel document, but has requested a better solution for...

Well, thank you for helping me dynamicsolo. I did get a step closer to the goal, and for the rest, I plan to ask a teacher tomorrow. I will go to bed now as it is 22:49 here. I will mark this as solved, and, thank you again dynamicsolo.

Right before the other calculation, I had this: http://img108.imageshack.us/img108/232/cone2bu9.jpg so, it is before I multiplied with pi. I believe I used the solve function on my texas ti-89 calculator in order to get to the last part. Is this what you meant?
