    Newton's third law is absurd: argue why this isn't true.

    Netwon's third law has 3 characteristics, 1. Equal magnitude. 2. Different direction. 3. Acts on different bodies. So if I push you, I exerted a force on your body. By Netwon's third law, your body exerted a force on my hand. You still fly away because no opposite forece exerted on your...

    Simplifying a Tough Multivariable Limit: (8x+8)(2x+3y)^2) / (2x^2 + 16xy - 7y^2)

    Homework Statement Evaluate this limit, lim (x,y) > (0,0) f(x,y) where f(x,y) = ((8x+8)(2x+3y)^2) / (sqrt(3x^2 + 14xy + y^2) - sqrt(x^2 -2xy + 8y^2)) Homework Equations No? The Attempt at a Solution I figure the first attempt is to rationalize this fraction. But after I...

    Rocket acceleration/displacement problem

    Okay, let's sort it all out. So you are calculating from the starting point, First stage net acceleration - 4m/s^{2} First stage burning time - 10s Second stage net accelaration - 6m/s^{2} When I talk about net acceleration, I am assuming those accelerations you are providing already...

    Limits in 0/0 Calculus I Problem

    Lim -> 0 in the function 1/x(1/(x+2)^2 -1/4) Do you mean this? \lim_{x\to 0}\frac{1}{x} (\frac{1}{(x+2)^{2}} - \frac{1}{4})
