High School Case of the exploding dinner glass
not a heavy traffic area, and no trains, but the glasses are pretty old. i do have a question though. if the quality is poor, and there are inconsistencies in the glass, then wouldn't the glass crack there first, and break in those areas only to relieve the pressure?- wakingrufus

High School Case of the exploding dinner glass
i am fairly certain it was a large glass that broke. i will try to find a scale to weigh the stuff though. and yeah, fredgarvin. i was suprised at the explosion too. the sound i heard was half *pop* and half *shatter* and this things tiny shards were EVERYWHERE. i considered the heat effects...- wakingrufus

Intel or AMD is easier to overclock and be reliable?
pentium 4's are really good for overclocking. they are safe b/c they won't let themselves get too hot, instead they underclock themselves if they get too hot. if you have a prescott, you can get up to 80 or 85 C before this happens ive heard of pentium 4 2.4s being overclocked to 4ghz and up...- wakingrufus

Find Work done by a force field
Find the work done by the force field F in moving an object from P to Q. F(x,y) = (x^2)(y^3)i + (x^3)(y^2)j P(0,0) Q(2,1) so i need to integrate the gradient dot dr right? how do i do that?- wakingrufus

Calculate the final velocity of the cart
well i asssume the system starts at rest, so the left side of your equation would = 0 and your equation would reduce to: m1*v1 + m2*v2 = 0 m1 = mass of the cart v1 = final velocity of the cart m2 = mass of a child v2 = final velocity of a child you need another equation to solve for...- wakingrufus
