Assume a steady rate of deceleration. If you want, I could stop posting word problems and just give you a bunch of numbers, but I personally find it easier to do math when there is a reason behind it.

Yeah, I like stories, makes it seem like there is an actual purpose. Say, are all of your problems factual?

Somewhat. Most problems have numbers I made up, like problem 2, where the speed of the missile and ship are my invention (the ratio of knots to miles per hour is real) but some have real facts, like questions 23 and 24. The height of the North Tower was the same as the height in my problem.

I know this has been dead for a while, but I just have to post one more question. I bet Spar could figure it out easily, but I want to see what everyone else thinks.

Question 26

A 60-watt lightbulb and a 100-watt lightbulb are connected in series to a 120 volt source. Assuming the connecting wires have no resistance, which lightbulb dissipates more energy, and how much more? (Hint: Find the resistance and the current! In other words, you can also find which bulb is brighter.)

Haven't learned much about circuits and current, I'd have to check my notes.

I know nothing about electrical systems, which I think is a glaring gap in my knowledge.

I'll get around to this on Monday when I've got more time on my hands to calculate.

Yes!!! I've figured out Camo's and Synergy's weaknesses! Along with basic equations of motion... And coefficients of friction...

We don't exactly learn this as a sophomore, more like bullshit on mathematical induction, or proof techniques with trigonometry. Which is meant for juniors. So I have to find this on my own...

I learned it, it's in my notes, I'm just lazy.
