    Is it possible for a stable system

    Exactly, I'd just like to word it differently. The system of the person is conditionally stable, the condition being if the net external force on the system is zero. When you push the box sideways, you're inducing gravitational force that would otherwise be canceled out by the normal force. Now...

    HTML/CSS Free HTML Editors: WYSIWYG Suggestions & Reviews

    I use Arisesoft Winsyntax simply because it's free, and has highlighting for (X)HTML, CSS, PHP, and other languages. That and it's very small/lean. Check it out: http://www.winsyntax.com/

    HTML/CSS Mastering Cross-Browser HTML: Tips and Tutorials for Compatibility

    The thing about modern CSS/div based design is the div's are typically very independent of each other (if done correctly), so it's usually not that much of a stretch to add adaptations for older/non-standards-compliant browsers. Often, HTML help sites and the like tend to stress older HTML 4.01...

    Engineering: Intelligence and Skill Required?

    Actually that's not completely true. Original IQ tests that were designed specifically (and only) for children use this method. This IQ test was completely useless for adults, hence why all modern IQ tests are normalized for the average adult population. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ for a...

    Mathematica Mathematical Physics for Grade 12 Student | Canada Universities

    My guess is yes you would have the same options open to you that a normal physics major would, except you'd have more of a mathematical background. I'm not an expert in that field though. To be completely honest, I wasn't really aware of the mathematical physics plan directly through the...

    Schools Getting into university with low english mark

    Everyone at the University of Waterloo has to write this test. It's called the ELPE (English Langauge Proficiency Exam) and all you're asked to do is write an essay on one of two topics of your choosing in a 50 minute timeslot. The topics are faculty specific for the most part, usually one topic...

    Mathematica Mathematical Physics for Grade 12 Student | Canada Universities

    I'm currently a first year physics student at the University of Waterloo. Mathematical Physics is basically the same as regular Physics for the first year. You take Linear Algebra and Calculus I and II for Honours Mathematicians rather than Linear Algebra and Calculus I and II for the Sciences...

    Excluding data for a linear regression in OpenOffice

    For my chemistry lab, in order to computer change in temperature for a calorimetry experiment we're suggested to take the line of best fit from the peak temperature onwards (excluding the initial data) and extrapolate to y = 0. For example, here's some of the data I gathered: A, Trial 2...
