    What Does the Vector Diagram of a Turning Vehicle Look Like?

    Sorry I jumped te gun a bit too quick. It would create a parabola as it goes up and finally falls down. It would though create a triangle between it's initial position, terminal height. Or am I wrong ?

    What Does the Vector Diagram of a Turning Vehicle Look Like?

    Yes! I was right! That's what I suspected.

    What Does the Vector Diagram of a Turning Vehicle Look Like?

    Recently I began to think somehin which has led to a lot more questions. If traveling on a straight line and I were to flip a coin a stock standard right handed triangle would be made, due to the coin going up and down. What would the vector diagram look like if the vehicle was to be...

    Weightlessness in a common swing

    Interesting. I must admit I have been to numerous parks with my kids...used the swings and thought about what's going on as well as watch them playing on them.

    Why do people wear black in the desert?

    That really is quite warm! I think I've experienced. 35*C before...touching (or exceeding 50 though would be crazy). Not sure about an answer. How often peeps in how many deserts wear dark robes? It wouldn't be very effective to wear tight fitting clothes. Imagine wearing dark denim jeans...

    How Do First Derivatives Help Identify Critical Points and Local Extrema?

    I don't post many questions here since I'm usually able to find most of my answers before starting a thread. As only a few of you may know I'm gradually teaching myself calculus. What can I say? I guess I'm that kind of guy. I've managed to pick up on quite a few good basic ideas. There is...

    Where Did the Original Matter Come From?

    Gosh...that sure was a big account to open.I like to learn about stuff. About where we came from. What's going on. How things work. Doing research solves this desire. You've got to do something good with your life here...we're here for only here for a brief period.

    Factoring Limits: Solving Quadratic Equations

    Okay so I've been teaching myself (with the aid of the mighty internet & several friends) algebra & now calculus. I have found that I didn't do too good at high school for various reasons. Some good...some not good. Anyway... I have a (what is probably a basic question) about factoring limit...

    How Do Hydrogen and Carbon Combine to Form Methane?

    That sounds about spot on. Forgetting all that we know about methane (in this example), if I were to draw a lewis diagram of the compound, are there any clues to what properties of the compound would have ? I feel there would be since we know and understand both elements (carbon &...

    Does the temperature stay the same above a certain point?

    A super quick question while on the topic of temperature, I was under the impression that the U is on average 2.75 degrees (Kelvin). Is this more of an average number based on..well..how big it is? Also, how on...I was going to say 'earth'...how has the U managed to maintain such an average...

    How Do Hydrogen and Carbon Combine to Form Methane?

    This is my first of hopefully not too many naft questions. It is I suppose a pretty straight forward question. Which implies that a straight forward answer is available. I'm pretty much unsure how to ask Google my question. In regards to methane (CH4) based on that info...and...

    Introducing Myself - Science & Maths Background

    Thanks everyone. I must say, it's the first time I've ever been slapped around by a fish! There's a first time for everything! This internetz thing is pretty cool. I wish I had it when I was at school. I would've hopefully have done better. I'm finding myself now researching stuff...and...

    Introducing Myself - Science & Maths Background

    Thanks everyone. Fav' fish ? thogh one. Is there some type of inside joke that I'm not familiar with? I don't think I could pigeon hole a single species since there's a lot out there (and even more that are now extinct). One family I'm quite fond of is the...
