    Is My Reasoning Incorrect? A 5-ary Tree with 4n+2 Vertices

    This was a question on the combinatorics midterm: if a tree contains only vertices of degree 5 and degree 1, and the tree has 4n+2 vertices, how many vertices of degree 5 are there? With k the # of vertices of degree 5 and j the # of vertices of degree 1, the accepted answer used the...

    Height of tree Homework problem

    Suppose there is a tree of unknown height. I am standing 76 meters away from the tree and the top of the tree is 32 degrees from where I am standing. Could I find the height of the tree by this: 76 cos(32) =64 76 sin(32) =40 Magnitude = SQRT 64^2 + 40^2 Height of Tree equals 75 meters??

    What happens when a cannon is propped against a tree to reduce recoil?

    Question: Suppose a cannon is propped against a massive tree to reduce recoil when it fires. Then the range of the cannonball will be a) increased b) decreased c) unchanged My Answer: I am leaning (no pun intended) on a. Since the cannonball exerts a force on to the cannon, it recoils...

    How Do You Debug a Parent Method in a Red-Black Tree?

    Hello, I am having some trouble with my red and black tree. I made up a parent method which finds the node before the node and then sets an iterator to that node. The code is below: private RBNode parent(Comparable x, RBNode i) { RBNode tmp = new RBNode(null,null,null); if(i==null ||...

    How reliable are tree rings for climate modeling?

    I won't say who said it, but does this sound right to you? Dendrochronolgists on TV all say it so easy, you count the tree rings and the space in between, and that will tell you about the temperature and precipitation and how long the tree lived. Also: This sounds kind of dumb, but what about...

    Integral, a dead deer, and a tree

    Integral stopped by and suggested that I post a picture of an old growth tree here on the property [in Oregon]. Although it is the oldest and largest tree here, I don't know the height - I think I did estimate it once - and the age is between 150 and 250 years; with most people who would know...

    What is the force exerted by an oak tree on a jogging person after collision?

    If a healthy but somewhat direction impaired individual (mass = 81.9 kg) is jogging through the woods and runs straight into a large oak tree at 4.7 m/s. Rebound speed is measured at 4.2 m/s in the opposite direction. If the time of contact with the tree is 46 milliseconds, what is the magnitude...

    Solving a Growing Tree Problem with dy/dx=x/10

    Can't seem to set this problem up Suppose a tree grows at a yearly rate equal to 1/10 of its height. If the tree is 10 ft tall now, how tall will it be in 5 years? dy/dx=x/10 y=(x^2)/20+c Im almost guessing this is right so far, if so will the 10ft be my constant?

    Proving the Number of Nodes in a Full Binary Tree

    I need to prove that for any full binary tree with N\geq1 leaves, that it has 2N-1 nodes. I can see this when looking at a tree, but I can't figure out how to prove this.

    What speed does a cat's tail need to rotate for a safe landing?

    cat is climbed to the branch, holding to it with its paws. Cat is 8 m from ground. It starts falling. The question is that how fast must he rotate its tail for him to land on feet? Moment of inertia of its body is 50 000 g*cm^2 and moment of inertia oh his tail is 5 000 g*cm^2.
