'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Not really paying attention to the problem as a whole--but in it is there a reason travelling 40m/s for 4s doesn't take you 160m?
You're right.
But somehow I got the right answer. I sorta did it graphically in my head. Now I'm trying to figure out how to explain what I did....
Where did the 0.5 come from?
The integral of the velocity.
Where did the 0.5 come from?
When you do an integral of x^n, it is equal to a constant plus (1/(n+1))*x^(n+1).
[Take this and try to find its derivative - the opposite action to integral - and it's x^n]
So if we have v, the result of the integral is (1/(1+1))*x^(1+1)=0.5*x^2.
Look at all of you with your lovely math brains.

I used to know how to do that stuff. Retained it just long enough to pass a test and then it all went buh-bye. Use it or lose it, peeps.

Right right! Now I remember. Sorta. Oh, calculus. I liked you when you made teddy bears.
I know that 4x40 is 160, and that's enough for me.
I do miss my brains, but there's no point crying over spilt neurons.
That's so not the big problem with the sentence.
Oh, I see what you mean. I don't think those periods are necessary either.

Robin, there's lots of physics in skating. The balance, for example, and keeping it. You know it intuitively, even if you don't know that you do!
Egg Beaters don't really make good scrambled eggs. Hmph.
