I am currently Aerospace Engineering at UT-Austin. I have filled out a fafsa every single semester and I have never gotten even $10. I'm just building up my debt with loans hoping to pay it off quick with an engineering salary. My brother graduated last semester from UT-Austin and he never got...
Hi,
I am currently an Aerospace Engineering student at UT-Austin and this summer I was accepted to transfer into the Mechanical Engineering Department. Here is my problem, I have been interested in aviation since I was a 10 so the ASE degree should be perfect for me but I am afraid the ASE...
Homework Statement
A 61.9kg object moving to the right at 43.3 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a second 44.9kg object moving in the same direction at 26.9cm/s
Find the velocity of the second object after the collision.

My homework says its in the...
You know what it was? I was thinking of the X axis as if it were distance even though I KNEW it was time. Because of this I was thinking its position was at 9 and from the initial position it would be -1 m . DUHHH. Thanks so much for your help.
displacement would be 4 m and your final position is 16 m. I see where your going with this so I would simply add my displacement to the initial position? make the answer 33?
x(0) is 10. I'm confused how the position is different from the displacement. I know the displacement is how far away it is from the orgin no matter how it travels but the position would be. I'm just not seeing it .
See, I did that and counted the area under the positive area in the first quadrant and then I subtracted it from the negative area in the 4th quad. I got 29 for the positive area and 6 for the negative, giving me 23 and it was wrong. So I figured maybe I had to add the areas for 35 but that as...
Wow, I'm extremely frustrated with this one.

I forgot to label the axis's. The X is time and the Y is Velocity
The Attempt at a Solution
Iv done a few things on this one:
First, I figured I would just count the area...
Wow, that is embarrassing...I COMPLETELY misread your topic. I was under the impression you had screwed up in high school and were trying to get into a 4 years school via a community college.
*note to self* READ TOPICS TWICE FROM NOW ON
Pretty sure MIT's got that spot
Of course math is important. I'm not exactly sure what "math methods for engineers" but I assume its a simple course that teaches basic techniques commonly used by engineers (aka: not even worth you time). I'm a sophomore in ASE and so far iv taken CAL 1,2,3, and I can look forward to...
I have heard through the grape vine that there are certain loans you can get and as long as you graduate with a 3.0 or higher you don't have to pay them back.
sadakka, iv got some inside knowledge for you my friend. I basically started out just like you. I was a Ginormous screw up in high school and didnt apply myself WHAT SO EVER. My highest level of math coming out of HS was algebra (didnt touch trig, pre-cal, cal, NOTHING) I enrolled in a local...
My personal advice is this. I wanted to switch from Aerospace to civil or mechanical because I thought it was just to much work, to much math, and to much physics in my major (ASE). One of the grad students told me this. No matter what, Engineering is Engineering. You will always have to do...
