DarthTofu Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Three calls in a row from high school students asking me how to add and subtract fractions; not too bad. My "toughest" two questions were questions that other people sent me. Question one (which was really, really easy): A bullet with a given mass is fired at a block of wood, which also has a given mass. The two stick together, and the bullet falls off of a table of a given height, and strikes the ground a given distance from the edge of the table. How fast was the bullet traveling? (Use kinematics to determine the blocks initial velocity in the x direction, then use law of conservation of momentum to determine the bullet's speed). Question two (which had more to it): Determine how many electrons are going through a certain resistor per second for a circuit consisting of two resistors, with a 10 V battery. (Find current and divide by the elemental charge- 1.6*10^-19) It's pretty easy, yeah. It particularly helps that I've got a deal going with a Chem E- she'll take all of my chemistry calls, no complaints or questions asked, and I'll take all of her physics calls. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Xan Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Circuit with only two resistors? Pretty simple circuit... not hard to find the current whatsoever. Then again, I am taking a computer engineering course right now, and all I've done for the last two months is find voltages and currents in various circuits... I just hope for your sake you don't get into network analysis. Especially if you have to delve into the differential calculus side of network analysis.

DarthTofu Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Differential equations aren't that bad; I'm in Diff Eq 1 right now, and it's an easy A for me, assuming I don't miss another day of class (I've slept through all of one class, ten minutes of another class, and all but the last ten minutes of a third.... forgot to set my alarm for those days. )Â So far as circuits go, next quarter is when it gets to be a bit tougher- I'm in Diff Eq 2, which will still deal with some circuitry (LRC circuits, in particular; I'm pretty sure I've gotten those down at this point, though), and I'm taking my Electrical Systems class, which shan't be too pleasant, though from what I hear the labs are at least quickish, and I don't have to do ****ing error propagation (my least favorite part of any lab). At any rate, that's all of the electrical systems I'll have classes dealing with- I'm majoring in Mechanical and Civil Engineering (yes, it was entirely necessary that those be capitalized), so I don't do a whole lot with electricity beyond, "This motor can exert this much force for this much power- go!" 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Xan Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm a CIT major, but I'm taking a basic computer engineering class just for the background. The circuitry stuff is pretty cool, though I have a hard time with some of the number crunching.

DarthTofu Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Nice costume, Mad. Â So I just recently started watching Firefly. Yeah, it's freaking awesome. I'm trying to limit myself to just watching two episodes for today, but I kinda want to watch a third, now... 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Xan Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I loved that show. The movie was pretty good too. I've always wondered why the series was pulled off the air...

DarthTofu Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Because Fox isn't particularly bright; they aired the show with the eleventh episode first, then proceeded to display them all in a hodge-podge, uncollected mess of episodes. The series has to be seen in sequence, or it makes little to no sense. Well, the first three episodes kinda do, at any rate. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Clearly one of the best Scifi series ever. Always was very sad that Fox pulled it off.

SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted November 10, 2009 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted November 10, 2009 Movie was not as good as the show. Lots of explanation of plot via dialogue, which I guess is due to trying to fit a complicated universe into a two-hour movie. Joss Whedon's works are some of the best, if given the time to develop their plot and characters. Firefly was sadly cut while in its prime.

DarthTofu Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 .... so remember when I was all like "I'm gonna limit myself to two episodes per day?" Yeah, didn't happen. I just finished Out of Gas, which I think may be my favorite episode so far. Jaynetown was pretty good, too. Gotta say- my favorite two characters are Jayne and Kaylee. The two are polar opposites, but freaking awesome. ... and River correcting Pastor's Bible was pretty epic, too. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthTofu Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 So I just watched Serenity. Spoilers follow, if you haven't seen it before:Â I can't believe they killed Sheppard Book, Wash, and the guy from Numb3rs! Whyyyyyyyyy? Wash was such a great character; I can't believe that they killed him! He was so great, and Sheppard Book was one of my favorite characters, too! Plus- hey, it was Charlie, from Numb3rs. All in all, I can't complain that much about it, I guess, but I still am so sad that they stopped the show, and that they closed themselves off to a continuation of it eventually. That show deserved to do much, much better than it did. 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have to agree with you but that is one of the hard rules of Television.

DarthTofu Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Question 4, part c of my Physics III final: What is direction of the induced current in the ring, given that the current is given by B0*sin(omega*t), and is perpendicular to the plane of the conducting loop? Answer: The coin landed heads-up (see diagram), therefor the current is in the clockwise direction.
