lol, But i don't think that the answer that was just given is going to be enough to get a passing grade

how do i find the efficiency after i have found the velocity?

That doesn't exactly answer the question. You can do a selfless act and still get personal gain. BUT, the reason that it is selfless is because you don't expect anything in return. you don't EXPECT any reward or such. it doesn't mean that you won't get it.

this discussion reminds me of the matrix. we can't truly prove that we exist. Everyone says that if you think you exist. but what if we are some illusion created by a being that is more powerful that we are imagined to be. we have bodies and minds and we can think, but this may not be of any...

What if there were more than one god, such as a whole population of them. Maybe their race is are like giants which are omnipotent in our opinion, but in fact in their opinion, not all that great. Perhaps we are like microscopic organisms to them. Think of how we look down upon every other...

I believe that a true selfless act would be sacrificing something that you find valuable to you and sacrificing it for the betterment of another person/group. That valuable thing would have to be something that you own and hold dear such as your very life or a priceless inanimate object...

well you see, it's a school project and i don't think i will get counted down for knowing trigonometry and whatnot. right now I'm taking an online course teaching me the basics of trig and i also have to build my own small scale trebuchet, catapult, and ballista which wont' be very easy. I'm...

thank you for that long and almost incomprehensible paragraph (i'm only in eigth grade).

How do i find the acceleration then

My brother tells me that i need to find the force of my catapult/trebuchet for my science fair experiment. I know that F=M/A. i don't know how to find A though.

I'm doing something for a science fair experiment and I'm trying to compare a catapult to a trebuchet. i will be comparing range, accuracy, and efficiency. But i don't know the equation to find efficiency of each siege wepaon. both of these medieval wepaons will be tabletop size som they won't...
