AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a quadratic equation, specifically 36 = 49s^2. Participants clarify that the equation can be rearranged to the standard form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0 by moving 36 to the other side, resulting in 49s^2 - 36 = 0. The original poster expresses initial confusion but acknowledges understanding after revisiting the problem. The exchange highlights the importance of breaking down quadratic equations for clarity. Overall, the conversation emphasizes collaborative problem-solving in math.

Not getting this question. SHould be easy. Got the rest of the assignment..

36=49s^squared...

it's a quadratic equation.. supposed to solve from the form of ax^squared plus bx plus c equals zero...

need help.

haha... I'm a little slow. it just took me a little while of going over the question again and again. thanks for the help.

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
