Is there a place to get physics calculations done and/or double checked?

Is there a place on physicsforums or elsewhere to get physics calculations done and/or double checked?

When doing computer animations, many straight forward questions (homework level) often come up. Examples of the level of questions:

1/ What is the average speed of Oxygen2 molecules through our normal air at 20 degrees C
2/ Under Coulomb's law, how much energy (in evolts) is required to push an electron from the Bohr radius of a proton to infinity
or 3/ If the molecules of a hydrogen gas were traveling at one angstrom per femto second - what temperature is the hydrogen gas?

TIA

Unless I am missing something we discuss such things in the HW section.

Doesn't matter it is technically not a homework, just follow the rules and use the template to not get any warnings

I am just wondering if there is some way or online site to contact and/or hire "professionals" (students or otherwise) to get calculations done, kind of like a "angie's list" when looking for a plumber. One can do all the calculations themselves, but it saves a lot of time and significantly improves accuracy to get a "professional" involved in the calculations.

Maybe try Craigslist?

Such a service would probably target students looking to get their homework done for them.
