    Solving Esther's Morning Commute Problem

    ok Therefore 40(p) = 30(q), or divide both sides by 5 and get 8(p) = 6(q). I know you can divide it further, but these numbers are small enough and it's not worth the time. Since the whole trip took an hour, (p + q) = 60min, and so, p = 60-q. Therefore 8(60-q) = 6q or 480-8q = 6q. So 480 =...

    Finding time and distance from gravitational integral

    I think that if I did the substitution correctly I got the answer to t, t= ((2sqrt(1/a-1/x)/ (sqrt(2GM)) + c when t= 0, x=a c= 0 t= (2sqrt(1/a-1/x))/ (sqrt(2GM)
