I meant to say, the calculator wasn't misinterpreting - I was. LOL
It makes sense now. As I pointed out, if I use ^.5 the answer comes out correctly so now I can breathe a little easier. I didn't *kneed* to know any of this math, but I have a curious mind and like to understand how things...
BEAUTIFUL! I knew I was doing something wrong.
Now, I have calculated the formula both ways: 10/(sqrt(1-284802835.1^2/299792458^2)) & 10/(1-284802835.1^2/299792458^2)^.5 and have come up with the same EXACT answer of 32.02563076101742669665 (or 32.03) so now I am a happy chappie!
Thanks and...
OK, that's good to know, thanks. However. even with that I am still coming up with the same result of 51.28.
if c= 299792458 and .95c = 284802835.1
10/(1-284802835.1^2/299792458^2)^1/2 = 51.28205128205128205128
The example answer, however, is 32, so I am still confused as how they reached...
Homework Statement
t = t0/(1-v2/c2)1/2
Homework Equations
t = 10/(1-.95c^2/c^2)1/2
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
The provided solutiojn to the example given above is:
t = 10/(1- (.95c)2/c2)1/2
t = 10/(1- .952)1/2
t = 10/ .312
t = 32
Unfortunately, no matter what I do the answer I...
Let me begin with the fact I am a rube in the field of Quantum Physics. I seem to have an innate grasp of certain concepts but if it comes to proving theory with math, I’m out. That being said, I am completely fascinating with Miguel Alcubierre’s theory on collapsing, or “warping”, space...
