Physics help, have no idea how to start?
Eight books, each 4.6 cm thick with mass 1.8 kg, lie flat on a table. How much work is required to stack them one on top of another?
I have no idea how to start this problem, I need help.
2 AnswersHomework Help1 decade agoHow do you find how much force something exerts on something else?
You will obviously need more details, so here they are: There are two boxes on a horizontal table, and they are in contact and at rest. A 730-N force is exerted on the 75-kg crate. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15, calculate (a) the acceleration of the system (Which is about 2.48 m/s), and (b) the force that each crate exerts on the other.
I need b, I don't know any equations that will help, could you do a step by step solution? I already have A, and have posted it up in the question. I WILL be picking a best answer. Thanks in advance!
1 AnswerPhysics1 decade agoMy ASUS Radeon HD 4870 1GB video card has some issues...?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
That's the card...
I read a bunch of reviews of people saying they could run Crysis on maxed settings with this card, however, I can only run the game with everything but shaders, shadows, textures, and objects at very high. Shadows is medium, shaders, textures and objects are at high. I am running with 8x AA, and at the resolution 1680x1050. My FPS with these settings range from 20-35 in outdoor environments, and indoor goes above 60. However my average is under 25 FPS, and it is sticky, and bothersome. I have 2800mb of shared VRAM, and my game uses anywhere from 1200-1800mb...
Do you guys have any idea what's wrong? I did try without AA, and it was above 30 FPS, but the edging really bothered me, I'd prefer to have AA... Is there possibly something wrong with my card? Maybe the settings in Crysis? Are there any optimizations I need to do, files I need to change? Help me out :)
Thanks a bunch in advance guys!
1 AnswerDesktops1 decade agoIn Oblivion, the menus are loading fine, and I can watch the intro movie, but as soon as the movie is done...?
I come up to the character creation screen... The menu for creating the character is there, but the character model isn't, all I see is a blue background. And if I hit create character, I still have a blue background, nothing is seen except the blue, and my hud. I can enter my menus and walk around, but I don't see anything, where I am walking, etc.
I have more than enough system resources to play this game, do I need to run it in compatibility mode for XP? Or is there something else wrong?

Thanks in advance!

I have about 45% of the mod Project Reality downloaded, but my laptop which it was being DL'ed on will be away for a few days, and I wanted to continue the DL on my PC, that way I don't have to restart.

Just what the question is.
3 AnswersMusic & Music Players1 decade agoWould you say that 50%+ accuracy and about 2 headshots per kill is an aimbot in Wolfenstein Enemy Territory?
Just what the question says, this guy is unrealistically good, especially in long range. He gets most his kills from over 50m with MP40 or Thompson.
1 AnswerVideo & Online Games1 decade agoWould a bullet from a small arms gun penetrate the wing of an aircraft, and would it alter the steering...?
Would a bullet from a small arms gun penetrate the wing of an aircraft? Or would the bullet get stuck in the metal? Is the wing armored? Would the bullet hole (if there is one), or the bullet stuck in the wing itself alter the steering, aerodynamics, etc. of the aircraft?
This is just to help me sleep at night better, I'm a very curious guy, hehehe.
8 AnswersAircraft1 decade agoHow long will it take to burn an .iso of about 630mb, onto a CD-R using 52x burn speed?
I need to do this because my 5 1/2 year old sister put a deep scratch in my first disk of Star Wars: Jedi Academy, and now it isn't readable. I still have the second disk but I need to download an .iso of the first disk so I can play the game. How long will this take to burn? 1 hour? 5 mins?

2 AnswersPlayStation1 decade agoIs it possible to hook up a PS3 to a laptop, the same way you do a laptop to a tv?
I forget the name of the cable. The input to it has the 16-32 holes, if you could also tell me the name of that cable I would be happy.
The reason I'm asking is because I'm at a hotel, I brought my PS3, and the TV doesn't have inputs. So I have a lappy here, and I thought maybe I could connect the two with that cable. It seems unlikely to me, but if I brought the console, it would be a waste of time, space, and happiness if I don't try all I can do to hook it up. ;)
Thanks in advance.
