Question

if the acceleration is constant what happens to the motion of the body

Answer 1

well whats the definition of a? in terms of velocity

Answer 2

a=dv/dt right? its che change in velocity over time

Answer 3

well what happens when we solve for v? v = integral of a*dt right? but a is constant

Answer 5

so that means v = a*t + C

Answer 6

or loco can just send you to a link

Answer 7

that works..

Answer 8

thanks interested in mechanics?

Answer 9

eh im currently studying electrical/computer engineering and had my last finals for the semester yesterday.. just got another 4.0...

Answer 10

Although i have taken statics/dynamics already

Answer 11

what school csevgf?

Answer 12

great me 2 studing petroleum engineering and iam suffering from it actually:S:S

Answer 13

Rolla, MS&T (in missouri)

Answer 14

not gonna lie though... Comp engineering is flutterin cool took my first course in that this semester and fell in love with it instantly.

Answer 15

yeah its a matter of what do u love to study

Answer 16

i do love petroleum but mechanics:S:S

Answer 17

yeah I remember not liking dynamics...

Answer 18

I mean it was cool and all but some of the equations.. it was like where the hell did it come from? i like my proofs...

Answer 19

yeah

Answer 20

u make excellent money in petroleum. i wish my school offered it.

Answer 21

where do you go to school at?

Answer 22

umd-college park

Answer 23

i'm doing comp sci :)

Answer 24

ohh did you take data structures yet?

Answer 25

i start all my comp sci courses next semester. I finished all the gen ed's this year. just wanted to get those out of the way.

Answer 26

haha data structures is a beast... I did well in it but invested many hours in that class.. I oringinally was a comp sci but decided against it after an internship couldnt stand sitting behind a computer all day. Did some stuff with databases and stuff. made a database for an inventory table.

Answer 27

excellent money but with great pain as we know no pain no gain

Answer 28

yep.. what made u go into the comp eng?

Answer 29

uh no real reason I just figured it would go well with electrical engineering. turns out i like comp engineering more than i do electrical.. You learn about these things called datapaths and control word tables and you learn how the actual components all work together and how to build a computer from the ground up its pretty awsome. We went over how to create 'datapaths' which consist of actual components to implement things like for loops, adding, subtracting, multiplying, etc etc

Answer 30

nice.. what year are you in?

Answer 31

well i have over 100 credits... But i did switch majors and am a double major so i have about 2 years left... Been helping my gf with comp sci this semester though and it did bring back a small spark of hope for a comp sci major later on in the future after i get my degrees

Answer 32

man you are on a role lol

Answer 33

sleep time enjoy. Good luck with comp sci

Answer 34

thanks you to :)

yeah... i've heard of that but never used it.

Answer 42

he teaches things from basic arithmetic to calc to physics to linear etc etc.. some organic chemistry some reg chem.

Answer 43

khan is good thanks for recommending :)
