    Finding work when displacement is a function of force

    Hi, I've taken introductory calculus and am doing algebra based physics, but I'm trying to understand how to relate calculus to physics. This is more of a theoretical question than a practical one, so I might be rambling on about something that doesn't even work. I know that W=∫F(d)Δd, but...

    Distance From Eye VS Visible Size

    Thanks, I'm going to have to look at this for a while before I understand what's going on, but now I'm heading in the right direction. I'm just sort of confused on how the angles work. I'm just trying to find what the "visible" size is at a certain distance away if I know the actual size at a...

    Distance From Eye VS Visible Size

    Hi, this should be an easy question unless I'm not understanding it correctly. As an object gets closer to your eye, how does the "visible" size of the object increase. I'm thinking it can be modeled by either an inverse or inverse square function, but I don't know. Am I on the right path...
