SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the impact of collaborative homework on error rates in physics assignments. Participants noted that discrepancies in numerical values provided by instructors can lead to incorrect answers, particularly in gravitational calculations. One user highlighted their experience of working with a friend on an assignment, which resulted in an incorrect answer due to differing numbers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accuracy in problem sets to avoid confusion and errors in collaborative settings.

Dude, that's pretty much right LOL

The book usually rounds up a little bit.. When dealing with gravitational stuff past the surface, it gets messy when we want to be accurate.

My teacher always makes test with numbers not VERY close to what we always get but off by like + or - 1 O_o
 
haha, actually its wrong. i just got lucky. I am doing this homework with a friend (who has different numbers) and it came out to be a wrong answer. thanks for responding
