Homework Statement figure whatever represents an insect caught at the midpoint of a spider-web thread. The thread breaks under a stress of 8.2 x 10^8 N/m^2 and a strain of 2. Initially, it was horizontal and had a length of 2cm and a cross-sectional area of 8 x 10^-12 m^2. As the thread was...

nm, I'm getting tired...i got it...thanks :)

you just completely lost me...what are you using that site for? like what are you using for the quadratic? i never got that far (i dislike derivatives like crazy)

ok, i lied...wasn't the last post (so i lied twice i guess). lol. what am i plugging in? i have x = 11.8542m/s and y = 47.5445m/s...those the x and y numbers i use? or am i on the wrong track entirely?

no, your numbers are right, learning. he might have it in radian mode or something...one of those silly things.

^ i noticed that too...and my last post on this :) I'm stealing some thunder from brentavo :) what formula were you using for the farthest distance (part d)? thanks much...now i hope my teacher asks something like this for HW :)

so c is t = 5.55736s and d is 130.705m? trying to write these down... and what do you use for the critical angle?

another question...how are you using x numbers which are beyond the point of impact/where the projectile stops? wouldn't you have to use numbers below or equivalent to 115.021m?

so does that mean that AJ's answers for d and e are incorrect at post 19? i have a similar problem and this is good practice.
