I believe this is the site for which you are searching You should post a specific description of your problem, that someone might help you

I'm not sure, but until someone better at physics responds, this'll probably tide you over: When the water is going forward, I guess it's pushing the hose/person holding it backward the momentum going forward is .6kg*25m/s, and you get the force by taking the change in momentum over the...

I'm trying to decide if it's worth my time to make my undergraduate GPA super high My cumulative won't get much higher than 3.2 even if I get 4.0 for the next two years, so I won't be able to get into any honors societies, and the only reason I can see to bother temporarily memorizing every...

The closest I've been able to come so far is just italicizing a normal L, but that's lame

Don't worry; I figured it out on my own Man, this site is so crappy for getting help on anything specific Well, it's no big deal If someone comes across this in the archives or something and wants me to tell them how to solve the problem, they can drop a line to killamarcilla@bigpen.us

So I should have taken ds/dr ds/dtheta instead of the other way around to get the right sign, and I should have taken r dr dtheta rather than just dr dtheta, but even when I do that I still get the wrong answer hmm.. I can't figure out how to get this one right without just using the...

Yo guys, I'm stumped on how to parameterize this surface and then compute an integral over it I'm supposed to compute \int\int_S \vec{r} over the surface formed by the x-y plane and z=4-(x^2+y^2), but I don't know to put it together and do it (No matter how you work with x and y, z will...

The math isn't that tough Well, it's not tough for me, and it's less tough than what you need for a fancy physics degree and way less tough than for a math degree I think I'm probably just going to end up being a professional programmer since I'm so much better at it, but I'll be a...

0hh0, how intriguing At the very least, his advice about appreciating and preserving life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness warrants some merit Stupid mad cow disease.. although I guess that I shouldn't be eating beef anyway, if I want to lose weight It'll probably be 2005 by the...

OK, I think I have the formula: y = mx+b*ln|ve^(bt)-v+1| -ln| (1-v)/e^(bt) + v / ( P*e^(r*t) ) .. oh, wait, that's just a bunch of useless gibberish sorry

Man, I was pretty convinced that people will always be fine and the environment won't get totally screwed up, but I was reading a biology textbook earlier today and it sounds like we're screwing things up pretty nicely All sorts of cropland is being destroyed by overusing it and not letting...

bwah hah hah! Delightful I can only hope that in making a pointless response to your joke, more people will end up reading it

Two wrongs don't make a right

well, I dunno, maybe if the guy's bending over.. wait, I was thinking his back would be curved, but then if you try to lift weights like that you'll just tear yourself apart I've never lifted serious weights.. the most I ever power-cleaned was like 100 pounds, since I never went to a real gym...

Man, one time I read a really awesome short story wherein some guy did a sci-fi metallurgical survey from Earth of the Moon, and discovered that right under the surface, it had huge insane deposits of gold and high-quality uranium, and there was a whole new private space race that made getting...
