    Solve Rock Problem Part 2: Time to Push 50Kg Rock 10m

    ok, so let's substitute the values for what we "know" d = vi*t + 1/2*a*t2, which would equal: 10 = (0)*t + 1/2*(.16)*t2 we want to try and solve for t, in the first part of the equation, (0)*t, we know that equals 0, so we can get rid of that part, now our equation is: 10 =...

    Solve Rock Problem Part 2: Time to Push 50Kg Rock 10m

    The four kinematic equations are: d = vi*t + 1/2*a*t2 vf = vi + a*t vf2 = vi2 + 2*a*d d = vi + vf/2 *t You want to pick the equation that has a "t" in it, and the one that has the most of your information already provided. P.S. your initial velocity is 0 m/s, remember! :wink:

    Why Are Velocity vs Time Graphs Challenging?

    y-coordinate is your velocity x-coordinate is your time Anytime you have a line going parallel to the x-coordinate, that is constant velocity. Anytime you have a line that has a slope, it is depicting acceleration. When the slope is moving towards the x-coordinate, it is negative...

    Solving x^(2/3)=4: Logarithms or What?

    I'm going to try my best to explain. Whenever you have a fractional exponent, that is another way of talking about a radical... The "3" in the denominator of the fraction is what "root" your radical will be: Ex. square root of 2 = 21/2 cubed root of 2 = 21/3 now, the numerator...

    A good quantum mechanics book for the self-learner?

    Moneer81, I am currently on the same quest as you, I am trying to teach myself quantum mechanics. Inha has a very important question as mathematics is the core of the subject we are attempting to teach ourselves. What I am currently doing is learning mathematics from the "Schaum's...

    Solving an Algebraic Headache: Proving Kt+1 = 1.15 * K

    I have also been able to confirm that the equation: Kt+1 = 1.15 * K should read: Kt+1 = 1.15 * Kt From the help that HallsofIvy and VietDao29 provided, you should come to the answer. I came to the answer a different way, but want to find out if you can use their help before I...

    How can I disable automatic email grabbing in Outlook?' question

    It sounds to me as like your default delivery location is set to a pst file on your hard drive instead of the mailbox on the exchange server. The instructions to change this setting are different depending what version of outlook you have. If you don't know what version you have, to go Help...

    Karma is a logically scientific concept?

    Fargoth, thank you for correcting me. I see where I was connecting karma with causality. I also agree with the statement that karma is carried over to next lives. I also agree that there can be no real "experiment" to prove whether karma exists, that is why I was suggesting observation (in...

    Karma is a logically scientific concept?

    Buddha had an idea called the "chain of conditioned arising". In it, he described that for every thought, action, and word we speak, we are conditioning the next thought, action and word we will have in the future. I believe that this ties in strongly with karma. I feel the only way that we...
