This past semester I've been working in a group of 4 to look at a certain ketone found in hazelnuts, and it is by far the most frustrating experience I've ever had; every single problem is because people are expected to work together. The project was 8 weeks of lab, 4 hours per week. First...

Hi there, My homework assignment is to find out how much force is exerted by doing a push up. I think it'll obviously be a lot more than my weight...I mean when you curl a bicep of a 20 pounder your usually exerting ~200 lb of force..so I'd say around 400-500 for a push up. The next...

ok i got this problem: \int\frac{\sqrt{x-2}} {x+1} \,dx then i have to let u=(x-2)^0.5 then i solve for x in terms of u so i get x= u^2+2 dx=2u du \int\frac{\sqrt{x-2}} {x+1} \,dx=\int\frac{u}{u^2+3}\,2u\,du where when i substitute i get: \int\frac{2u^2} {u^2+3}\,du. after...

I think that the title of the topic is very self explanatory. I want to know what the explanation is for the different implementations, I reckon that it might have something to do with the density of air and water.

Here's the wind up!

Why is it harder for women to do push ups then men?..is it something about their center of mass?

Please help me out with this question ... While using a wheelbarrel to move heavy logs, you bump into a log laying across your path. Would it be easier to pull or push the wheelbarrel over the log blocking your path? And, why? :smile:

Newton's third law states something along the lines of "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The problem I have is that I don't understand how it stays true for something as simple as pushing a box. If a push the box (action), how can it be giving an equal opposite...
