MHB Mechanics- general motion in a straight line.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around confusion regarding calculating distance in a motion problem, specifically questioning the interval for integration. Participants clarify that the total distance should be calculated over the interval from 0 to 2, despite the textbook providing an answer for a different interval. The correct integral expression for total distance traveled is emphasized, with a focus on using the appropriate velocity equation. The importance of understanding the relationship between velocity and distance in motion problems is highlighted. Overall, clarity on the integral expressions and intervals is crucial for accurate calculations in mechanics.

I don't understand q(e) . Am I not supposed to calculate the distance between the interval 0 to 2? The textbook ans only shows the interval between 0 and 22. Should I calculate the distance taming only the second equation of velocity?

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
