Another way to look at it is, need m, have disp, veloc, and the force bringing the jumper to a halt. A quick substitution into an equation gives you what you need , but its essentially the same thing, just a different approach.

I think I know what you're getting at, in which case I'd suggest also seeing that p = (ma)t , now, the question of what would it 'feel' like would kind of be a question of what exactly you'd consider as the 'feel'. Personally, I'd say that what it feels like would be the force it exerts on the...

yeah, i always just made sure that when i had the general 1/2 out there that when I had to pick a sign I did. Example : px1 py1 pz1 all with 1/2... px2 py1 pz1 3 with +1/2 and 1 with -1/2, or visa versa thanks

I've used a program called TinyCAD before, you can pick it up at sourceforge (for win) http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinycad its free, I don't do circuits or anything for any real use other than hobby , so I don't know if its very good or not. Actually... If anyone does get it I wouldn't mind...

http://www.chem.umn.edu/services/lecturedemo/info/Magnesium_and_dry_ice.html Is it really as simple as carbon dioxide and magnesium?

We had internet in 88, the world wide web was 93 if that's what you're meaning, but the internet was a 'big thing' to those that used it before the web. I think nanotech is a big one on the horizon, we can make switches that are measured by atoms and they're so fast they can hold 8 states ( i...

There can be a lot of reasons. For instance, you can set computer B up to not respond to pings, so it simply just devours the packets , but yes I think you're sort of thinking the right thing. To mount a shared drive on linux I always use mount from the terminal, if you do ~# smbmount then it...

I would get lavasoft's adaware as well as spybot search and destroy .. spyware often pushes people to pages just to make them think they have a problem.. then a popup promises to fix the problem the spyware causes.. people pay to 'fix' it.. and all that happens is the spyware no longer causes...

Here Here! I have the languages I don't like, but that's only because I find reasonable alternatives for my uses. Nobody writes full scale apps in assembly because its time consuming .. but that would be the most efficient method of code... you have to strike a balance of necessity. If...

in actuality the value does change .. but it takes a few billion years. I won't say that it doesn't change because there has been 'proof' somehow that it does.. and the proof is over my head so I can't really dispell it.. but considering I'm not going to be here in a few billion years...

I'm not an expert or anything, but from what I understand: Time is distorted to keep light at its speed, so If you were traveling the speed of light.. or near it in the opposite direction of another beam of light ... or any EMR for that matter.. then time would almost stop for you so that the...

A lot of books use 9.8 , some books use 10 ... I always use 9.81 because that's how it was in my first book . As you go around the world to different elevations the 'constant' acceleration of gravity changes, because the formula for finding Grav (which you'll probably learn in your class if you...

I know a lot of kids who took precalc , which isn't really all that worthwhile IMAO ,... i didn't do it, I just went to calc ... and the kids struggled a little, but it was only because the stuff was new to them .. like precalculus didn't really give them skills to be used in calculus.. then...

I can't really find the section to put this in, it has to do with Chemistry .. but . really.. Quantum Chemistry and like..well, doing quantum numbers my teacher asked whether or not the first electron in an orbital was + 1/2 or -1/2. When doing it on my own I always just write 1/2 , and then...

... you know how far it went.. you know how fast it was going when it started moving... you know that it didn't slow down in the horizontal... .. the identity for sin(2theta) is 2 sin(theta) cos(theta) ... I did a proof of this my sophomore year (of HS ) ... of the range equation, its not...
