    Undergrad Is a Function Funny When Its Secant is Less Than a Certain Number?

    Although I think this is purposeful since the actual question wanted to prove integrability of f. Changing the quantifier to a for all in the Lipschitz definition I guess is just another way to say that a function is constant. Nevermind, this is correct but the question I had before is not...

    Undergrad Is a Function Funny When Its Secant is Less Than a Certain Number?

    The definition Let a, b be any two real numbers Let c > 0 We define a function f to be funny iff For all x, y belonging to [a,b], |f (x) - f (y)| ≤ c |x - y| Question Let a < b (arbitrarily) Let c > 0 Assume function g is funny on [a, b] Let x, y ∈ [a, b] Therefore, |g (x) - g (y)| ≤ c |x - y|...

    Finding drop height when object travels 1/4 total distance in last second

    The total trip time is unknown in the complete motion. How should I use this equation?

    Finding drop height when object travels 1/4 total distance in last second

    So the textbook answer was a rounding error? What is s in this equation and where is this equation from?

    Finding drop height when object travels 1/4 total distance in last second

    Thanks for the reply! Regarding the negative in the equation "d' = v2t' - (1/2)(a)(t')2" I got it off my high school notes which should not include direction within the equation itself. However I've checked this below by changing the frame of reference so that down is (+). The equation that...

    Finding drop height when object travels 1/4 total distance in last second

    Homework Statement "A falling object travels one-fourth of its total distance in the last second of its fall. From what height was it dropped?" Reference: Up is (+) Scenario 1 (Complete motion) a = -9.8 v1 = 0 d = -x v2 = ? Scenario 2 (Motion at the last second) a = -9.8 d' = (1/4)(-x) t' =...
