Hi, I'm studying algorithmic on "Introduction to algorithms" by Cormen, Rivest, Stein and Leiserson. This book is very well done and proposes more than a thousand exercises, but the point is these exercises are not corrected. It enables us to really search them, but it is frustrating when you...

I am getting fat. Since I graduated college, I don't know what to do and I don't really know anyone to work out with. Here's the thing: I can't run or do elliptical machines. I just get so bored and I can never commit to it. I love racquetball, but I don't have anyone to play with. Can...

My physics teacher has informed us that for our mock waves exam we are going to be given some relativistic questions on doppler shift, as an experiment by our loving masters. We derived the Lorentz factor and some shift equations, but we haven't done anything else and I'd really like some...

Can anyone help me out, I don't want study material, I just want some exercises that help me know what the SAT looks like

In the subject accelerometer (see link) the answer given is a = kgx. I get a = 2kgx. I'm wondering if anyone cares to discuss this problem. The answerer used an energy argument that I'm not sure I followed, whereas I used a simpler force-balance method. F = force on bead by parabola and is...

Hi, I just ordered the Exercises for The Feynman Lectures on Physics and although the exercises in them appear to be very interesting, most of them come without answer. I'm just wondering if there is someone with answers to all of them or if there is a book or website which has them. Thanks

Hello there. Monday I will have a test for physics about drawing force vectors on objects. The problem is there are not many exercises in the book I can practice with. So does anyone know a site or something where I can find exercises on how to draw the vectors? I am really sorry if this...

Hi First of all I'd like to say that I don't want to put this under "Homework help", because its not really homework. But it is something I can't wrap my mind around. There are 2 tasks: 1) There's 200 cm3 water in a glass. How high does the water level rise / how much does the cubage...

I took a year-long regular chemistry class at my high school last year (should have done AP then...), and it was extremely slow-paced and boring. That pretty much crushed my enthusiasm for the subject until I started reading Linus Pauling's textbook...

Are the simple uniform rates problems practical for anything other than for applications like inlet and outlet pipes filling or draining a reservoir? The kind I mean are the ones which immediately yield rational equations immediately upon first analysis. We find motion problems, we find...
