  • Help with a physics question?

    "The height of a helicopter above the ground is given by h = 2.80t^3, where h is in meters and t is in seconds. At t = 2.20 s, the helicopter releases a small mailbag. How long after its release does the mailbag reach the ground?"

    I figured the best way is to determine the upward velocity but unfortunately our physics teacher neglected to teach that during the lesson and the book is useless. How do I find the answer?

  • Help Answering Physics Problem?

    I have struggled with how to put this physics problem into proper notation for a while and my teacher won't so much as explain what he's looking for.

    " Assume the equation x = At^3 + Bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. Determine the dimensions of the constants A and B. (Use the following as necessary: L and T, where L is the unit of length and T is the unit of time.)"

    I thought the answer would be LT^-2 but it's not coming up right. What am I doing wrong?

  • Is there a heavy lifting shoulder harness that works for one person instead of 2?

    Is there a version of the shoulder dolly or some form of lifting strap or harness that works with one person rather than 2? Something similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Teamstrap-Moving-and-Lifting... but doesn't require another person and can remove the tension or pressure from the back?

  • Deciding Between Wacom Cintiq 22HD and 24HD?

    I'm looking to purchase a Wacom Cintiq and I'm stuck between choosing one of two models. One is the 22HD and the other is the 24HD.

    I'm leaning towards the 24HD because it has a wider colour gamut (92% vs the 22HDs 72%) but I was wondering if I could just get the 22HD calibrated to make up for the difference.

    Colour accuracy is key here and it's very important I get a good answer soon. I can't test these out because they're not available in most stores and I can't buy one to return it because I want to do a side-by-side comparison if I could.

  • Does Wacom Have a Deal with Best Buy?

    A graphic artist friend of mine said that while working at best buy, they offered him the ability to get any Wacom product for half price if they signed an "accommodation form". I wanted to know if this is true, or if it still happens. Thank you.

  • Can a wacom cintiq be a tax write off if it's for school/work?

    I'm studying graphic design and art at college and I was considering purchasing a wacom cintiq tablet monitor to make the work easier. I'd be using it for school and for the freelance work I do, and I was wondering if it could be qualified as a business/education expense.

  • What does "Refurbished Rev A03" mean?

    I'm looking at some refurbished models of a monitor on ebay, one of which is labelled "Rev.A07" and the other as "Rev.A03". They're the same monitor and both are refurbished, but I don't know what the difference(s) between the refurbished models would be. Thanks for any help.

  • What am I doing wrong with this C++ switch statement?

    // Switch.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

    //

    #include "stdafx.h"

    #include <iostream>

    using namespace std;

    int main()

    {

    char letter;

    cout << "Please type in your letter grade: ";

    cin >> letter;

    switch (letter)

    {

    case A:

    cout << "The numerical grade is between 90 and 100 ";

    break;

    case B:

    {

    cout << "The numerical grade is between 80 and 89.9\n";

    break;

    }

    case C:

    {

    cout << "The numerical grade is between 70 and 79.9\n";

    break;

    }

    return 0;

    }

    I want it to print the dialogue after the cout but after I enter a letter grade (A, B, C, D, etc.) it won't display anything. What am I doing wrong?

  • How do I add a space between 2 inputs in C++?

    I need to write a C++ program that will convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa by inputting the temperature followed by C or F for the temperature type. That much I got, but it wants a space between the temperature and the C or F, such that when I type 100 it automatically makes a single space, then I input C or F.

    It should look like "100 C", but I don't know how to make it automatically put in that space between the 100 and C. Help?

  • Water stuck in my ear, never happened before.?

    I went swimming yesterday and after I got out of the pool water was stuck in my right ear, and only my right ear. It took over a day to completely get it out, between repeated flushings with hydrogen peroxide and q-tips. This has honestly never happened before, why would it start now?

    Would it stop clogging if I were to try dunking my head in warmer water like a hot tub to loosen whatever is clogging it, or is there something a doctor can do, or should I just go with using ear plugs for the rest of my life? I'd like to avoid the last option if possible.

  • Paying taxes on a personal business?

    I sell artwork to earn extra income, and I was curious as to what the limit I can earn without paying taxes is, and if there is no limit how do I go about making sure I pay the proper amount so as to avoid future problems? Also, do I have to do anything tax wise on income from selling plasma?

    Just to get it out there, when selling art I generally make about 300 a month or so for a good month, but usually it's around 150-200.

  • Alternatives to Wildblue Satellite Internet?

    We have wildblue satellite internet. We hate them. We can't find any alternatives that are better, this includes Hughesnet. We're in a rural area and can't get cable or DSL services because no company will put in the equipment necessary for it, and we are not in a 4G area so those services do not work.

    Are there any alternatives we can use? Or are there ways we can get a company to put in the equipment to get DSL or cable? We desperately want to rid ourselves of Wildblue because of their terrible service, overpriced packages, and low bandwidth caps. Please help.

  • Is the age difference too much?

    I met someone online and after a year I've found her to be an incredible person. We've talked almost every day for about a year (both in text and in the last few months voice) and we still find new things to talk about and continue enjoying each other's company. We have a almost everything in common I people supposedly call necessary and important, and many more random little things. The only and so far biggest problem is our age difference, that she's 3 years 9 months younger than me and I'm 20.

    I find it strange and kind of bad that I feel this way but she just seems like someone who's company I could never stop enjoying. Is it something I should pursue?
