Thanks for your help and tips. I do not have a laser pointer but will try to google it somehow. I'm in a math program entirely online and reading math books isn't quite helping. Science is not my subject and this is frustrating.
does this make sense? Two physics students are attempting an experiment where they are standing on opposite sides of a wall where they are both equidistant at 10 feet from the wall. The students are attempting to meet at the wall by taking their distance from the wall and moving half that...
No, that is my problem, I do not know the physics end of the equation to be able to come up with a function "real world example". That is what I am asking for help with. If I had an idea of one, then i'd be able to customize the sin 1/x problem for the example.
Homework Statement
Create one example of a function within the context of a real-world science application (i.e., physics, biology, chemistry, etc.) that contains an oscillating discontinuity,
Homework Equations
y=sin (1/x)
The Attempt at a Solution
I would like to use the...
