08:12:59 Intro Prob 6 Intro Prob 6 How do you find final velocity and displacement given initial velocity, acceleration and time interval?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> You can use the formula vf=vo+a*'dt confidence assessment: 3

......!!!!!!!!...................................
08:13:13 ** To find final velocity from the given quantities initial velocity, acceleration and `dt: Multiply `dt by accel to get `dv. Then add change in velocity `dv to init vel , and you have the final velocity**

08:23:03 Describe the flow diagram we obtain for the situation in which we know v0, vf and `dt.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Knowing these three allows us to solve for 'ds using the formula (vf+vo)/2*'dt Knowing 'ds then allows us to sovle for a, since all of the variables in the equation 'ds=vo*'dt+.5a'dt^2 would be filled except a. confidence assessment: 1

08:24:00 ** The flow diagram shows us the flow of information, what we get from what, usually by combining two quantites at a time. How we get each quantity may also be included. From vf and v0 we get `dv, shown by lines from vf and v0 at the top level to `dv. From vf and v0 we also get and vAve, shown by similar lines running from v0 and vf to vAve. Then from vAve and `dt we get `ds, with the accompanying lines indicating from vAve and `dt to `ds, while from `dv and `dt we get acceleration, indicated similarly. **
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I didn't think about average velocity, but of course after averaging initial and final velocities, the average velocity can be calculated. As for the other things I understand how the flow chart works for them. self critique assessment: 2

08:32:37 Principles of Physics and General College Physics Students: Prob. 1.26: Estimate how long it would take a runner at 10 km / hr to run from New York to California. Explain your solution thoroughly.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I used map quest and found out that the general distance is about 2800 miles from one state to the other. Since the distance was given in miles, I have to change miles to Km. 2800 miles=4,506 km So, now we know distance and vAve, from which we can calculate time. 10km/hr=4506km/'dt 10*'dt=4506 'dt=4506/10 'dt=450.6 hours confidence assessment: 2

08:32:59 It is about 3000 miles from coast to coast. A km is about .62 mile, so 3000 miles * 1 km / (.62 miles) = 5000 km, approximately. At 10 km / hr, the time required would be 5000 km / (10 km / hr) = 500 km / (km/hr) = 500 km * (hr / km) = 500 (km / km) * hr = 500 hr.

08:41:32 All Students: Estimate the number heartbeats in a lifetime. What assumptions did you make to estimate the number of heartbeats in a human lifetime, and how did you obtain your final result?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> The average heart beats about 70 beats per minute. That means a heart beats 70*60=4200 times per hour. 4200*24=100,800 times a day 100800*365=36792000 times a year Then, let's say the average person lives to be 75 36792000*75=2759400000 times in a lifetime confidence assessment: 3
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
08:41:53 ** Typical assumptions: At 70 heartbeats per minute, with a lifetime of 80 years, we have 70 beats / minute * 60 minutes/hour * 24 hours / day * 365 days / year * 80 years = 3 billion, approximately. **
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I understand. My assumptions were slightly different. self critique assessment: 3

08:42:06 University Physics Students Only: Problem 1.52 (i.e., Chapter 1, Problem 52): Angle between -2i+6j and 2i - 3j. What angle did you obtain between the two vectors?
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> I am not in University Physics. confidence assessment:
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
08:42:10 ** For the given vectors we have dot product =-2 * 2 + 6 * (-3) = -22 magnitude of first vector = sqrt( (-2)^2 + 6^2) = sqrt(40) magnitude of second vector = sqrt( 2^2 + (-3)^2 ) = sqrt(13) Since dot product = magnitude of 1 st vector * magnitude of 2d vector * cos(theta) we have cos(theta) = dot product / (magnitude of 1 st vector * magnitude of 2d vector) so that theta = arccos [ dot product / (magnitude of 1 st vector * magnitude of 2d vector) ] = arccos[ -22 / ( sqrt(40) * sqrt(13) ) ] = arccos ( -.965) = 164 degrees, approx.. **

08:42:38 ** I had to get a little help from a friend on vectors, but now I think I understand them. They are not as difficult to deal with as I thought. **
