Homework Statement Using a simple "trick," you can find a polynomial function whose graphi goes through any given set of points. For example, the graph of the following function goes through the points (1, 3), (2, 5), and (3, -1). f(x) = 3\;\frac{(x-2)(x-3)}{(1-2)(1-3)} \;+\...

After you learn Java, there are 2 other languages that you absolutely must master: C Lisp I emphasis these languages because in effect, any other language you might need to learn down the road will be somewhere between C and Lisp. C and Lisp are polar opposites, and will teach you to...

Between a CS major and Physics minor, I would essentially take all of those classes, with the exception of intro to quantum mechanics.

I really grew to like computer programming in my HS years and am going to be attended a small university where I will major in computer science. I recently have gotten incredibly interested in physics and would like to double major. Unfortunately, the university I am attending does not offer a...

Oh. Thanks for the tip. I got it now.

I'm doing a lab, and I need to determine the centripetal force of a ball tethered to a string, rotating around at a constant acceleration horizontally. In this instance, is the only force in the problem the centripetal force, in which case would also be the net force, or is there also a normal...

Homework Statement A jet plane lands with a velocity of +100 m/s and can accelerate at a maximum rate of -5.0 m/s2 as it comes to rest. Can this plane land at an airport where the runway is 800 meters long? v_i = +100 m/s a = -5.0 m/s^2 Homework Equations The only equations in the...
