    Momentum of a particle.

    Here's a question from my workbook that I can't seem to figure out. A proton (mass = 1.6 x 10^27 kg) moves with a speed of 6 Mm/s. Upon colliding elastically with a stationary particle of unknown mass, the proton rebounds on its own path with a speed of 3.6 Mm/s. Find the mass of the unknown...

    Expanding log(a+b)

    I didn't mean that would give you a formula, but if you had a set of data, you could find the regression by plotting x, log y. It's not the answer but it's a way to get it.

    No Sound Coming From My Computer

    My motherboard's sound card is 6.1. My speakers are 5.1. Is that why my sound doesn't work when it's hooked up to the mobo? Does 6.1 not work with 5.1?

    No Sound Coming From My Computer

    Alright, I tried to completely reinstall the SC. I uninstalled what "drivers" it supposedly had and took it out dusted it off and stuck it back in. When I started up again it found it.

    Studying statistics - career options?

    A lot of statisticians work for businesses and predict future product sales/business growth. They also do surveys in the best interest of whatever the company is doing. I'm in a Stat's class, and I hate it. It's not challenging, just very, very dull.

    No Sound Coming From My Computer

    Ok, I looked under the control panel for what was installed under PCI 1 and it said like "Game Control", which has to be my SC because that's the only thing installed in any PCI slot. It also said that the drivers were not installed. That's a good thing I thought since it's a quick fix. So i...

    Schools Do you guys work while attending University?

    If you do work, don't get a job that will wear you out. I work 24 hours a week, which isn't a lot but I'm a lifeguard. Lifeguarding wears me out and I get home to do some homework and I'm too tired to do it. Not a good situation.

    PS3 vs. Xbox 360

    As I don't agree with you entropy, it does prove a good point. There wasn't a best in the last generation of consoles (XBOX, PS2, and Gamecube), and there won't be in the next generation. Consoles aren't measured by their power, but the games on it. Different strokes for different folks.
