I want to work a little math in the project soooo what formulas would I use to figure average MPH and the top speed the car obtained (I'll suppose that the car was still accelerating at the time the race was over). The car traveled 60 feet in 1.668 seconds.How do I figure MPH and top speed?<br >MPH (There are 5280 ft in a mile) - <br><br /><br />Car = 60 feet in 1.668 seconds. <br><br /><br /> First you turn the feet into miles. 60 feet = (60/5280) miles = because the car went 60ft out of 5280ft (a mile.)<br><br /><br /> Then you turn the seconds into 1 hour. What number times 1.668 seconds = an hour? 1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds. 3600/1.668 = about 2,158.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Multiply both sides of 6/528 miles per 1.668 seconds<br><br /><br />by what will make 1.668 seconds and hour (2,158) to get.....about.....<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />24.5 miles per hour.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Now, for top speed.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />V = 1/2 A * T^2 <br><br /><br />The above is a physics formula relating Velocity (speed), Acceleration, and Time.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You're trying to find V right now.<br><br /><br />If you assume the car was going fastest at the end of the race, T = 1.668 seconds. So you have your T. But now you need the acceleration of the car, which you most likely can't get unfortunateley. Your best bet is to tell your kids the acceleration and THEN they could use the formula.How do I figure MPH and top speed?<br >On a simpler note, assuming constant acceleration,<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Vav = D/t = 60/1.668 = 35.97 ft/s 鈭?(30/44) = 24.5 mph<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Vmax = 2*Vav = 49 mph<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If it's of any interest, the acceleration a = 2D/t虏 = 43.13 ft/s虏<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The last formula given by Dadgwelen is for distance, not velocity..........Coorphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05071999508321845056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385375220399321608.post-13616076833037622032010-01-06T21:56:00.001-08:002010-01-06T21:56:16.149-08:00How can I figure out the 2D surface with dimensions from a 3D cone?I have the following dimensions for a 3D cone: top ID: 12';, Bottom ID: 2';, Sides of cone: 6';.

If you buy everything in the exacta mounts for every meal that would work.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />But say you buy a bag of rice for a 3.00. How often are you going to use a whole bag of rice per meal. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I am making this up just for easy numbers.<br><br /><br />So if there are say three cups of rice per bag. Lets say you use 1 cup of rice for dinner. So the rice for that meal is 1.00. rice will make 4 servings. That makes it .25 a serving.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />So then you buy 5 pounds of bulk hamburger for 10.00<br><br /><br />You use 1 pound of burger for the meal, that makes it 2.00.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Then lets say you add in 2 bell peppers at 2.00 each. So 4.00 dollars for bell peppers for the meal.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />And 5 lbs of cheese for 5 bucks. You are only going to use 1 pound of cheese. So 1 buck for the cheese.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Okay then say your meal makes 4 servings.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />So the cost of the entire meal is 8.00 Divide that by your servings (4) and you get 2.00 per serving.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />You can break down everything this way.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I hop that makes sense to you.How do you figure out the price per meal?<br >Lets say you pay:<br><br /><br />$5 for 4 chicken breasts<br><br /><br />$2 for barbeque sauce<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />$2 for 4 baking potatoes<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />$2 for 4 ears of corn<br><br /><br />$1 for a stick of butter<br><br /><br />Total cost of this meal = $12 divided by 4 people = $3 per person<br><br /><br />Sometimes you'll have other costs like time and labor or other materials.<br >I usually add up the total cost of the ingredients used in the meal then divide it by the amount of servings I can get out of it.Coorphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05071999508321845056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385375220399321608.post-71730530965949309412010-01-06T21:54:00.002-08:002010-01-06T21:54:39.737-08:00How do i figure out what grade i need in my last Grading Period in order to get an A, B, or C overall??When i average my first 3 grades out, what do i do after that to figure out the exact percentage i need in order to get an A, B, or C in that class for the over all year.How do i figure out what grade i need in my last Grading Period in order to get an A, B, or C overall??<br >make an equation<br><br /><br />______(fill in with the amount total of all the gardes. ex 435.)<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />______+ X= (for a- 285) for b- 255 so on and so forth. subrtact the amount of the left from the one on the right. then you get X= ____ . then you know the exact lowest score you can get in order to get a A, B or C.How do i figure out what grade i need in my last Grading Period in order to get an A, B, or C overall??<br >Take your 3-period average, multiply it by 3, then take your desired final average and multiply it by 4, then subtract.

(n-r)! )<br><br /><br />this can be written as nCr<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />there are 50 C 25 = 1.264106e+14 combinations... why would you want a list of this many combinations?How do I figure out the probability?<br >You need to learn about combinations and permutations. <br><br /><br />In combinatorial mathematics, a combination is an un-ordered collection of unique sizes. (An ordered collection is called a permutation.) Given S, the set of all possible unique elements, a combination is a subset of the elements of S. The order of the elements in a combination is not important (two lists with the same elements in different orders are considered to be the same combination). Also, the elements cannot be repeated in a combination (every element appears uniquely once); this is often referred to as ';without replacement/repetition';. This is because combinations are defined by the elements contained in them, thus the set {1,1,2} is the same as {2,1,1}. For example, from a 52-card deck any 5 cards can form a valid combination (a hand). The order of the cards doesn't matter and there can be no repetition of cards.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />In several fields of mathematics the term permutation is used with different but closely related meanings. They all relate to the notion of mapping the elements of a set to other elements of the same set, i.e., exchanging (or ';permuting';) elements of a set.<br >assuming that you don't care about order (ie getting dealt the ace of spades first and the king of spades second is the same as getting the king of spades first and the ace of spades second) the number of differenct combinations would be 26 factorialCoorphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05071999508321845056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385375220399321608.post-18209691051514804422010-01-06T21:54:00.000-08:002010-01-06T21:54:08.534-08:00How do I figure out the outside temperature with cricket sounds?in farenhieght.<br><br /><br />thank youHow do I figure out the outside temperature with cricket sounds?<br >i think youy count how many sounds they make in 15 secsHow do I figure out the outside temperature with cricket sounds?<br >You can calculate the air temperature (in degrees F) where a house cricket sits by using the following equation: Temperature=50+(Number of chirps per minute-40)/4<br><br /><br />(temperature equals fifty plus number of calls in one minute minus 40 divided by four)<br >hmm.. why would you want to!! its easier to use a thermometer...<br><br /><br />saves the dashing for the calculator! just dash for the thermometer instead lol.Coorphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05071999508321845056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385375220399321608.post-19651489561265056362010-01-06T21:53:00.003-08:002010-01-06T21:53:51.163-08:00How do i figure out the IP of my SMC Gateway Router?Want to change the setting of my router, need some helpHow do i figure out the IP of my SMC Gateway Router?<br >Going to:<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />http://www.whatismyip.com/<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />will show you the WAN side IP of your router.

Thank YouHow do i figure out how much fabric I need to use if i want to sew in pleats?<br >A lot does depend on the kind of pleats, and how many or deep you want them to be.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />I think I have made skirts where the fabric width at the hip was 1.1 times the hip measurements, and where it was 2.5 times the hip.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />For a beginner it is a good idea to buy/get a pattern of the kind of skirt made for the kind of fabric you prefer.<br><br /><br />Or you can measure a ready made skirt that fit and suits you and work from there. A little different to suit the fabric you have or buy is good, but try to keep it the same general weight of fabric as the skirt you have as sample.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If you have fabric you want to use, you can try to pin pleats and fit it on.<br><br /><br />Heavy fabrics need deep pleats, with thin fabrics you can use many smaller pleats.How do i figure out how much fabric I need to use if i want to sew in pleats?<br >Its math, you figure out how much fabric to go around, then figure out how far out you want the pleat to go out and back in. multiply the pleat length by the number of pleats you want in it and add that to the original length.<br >You need to figure out how much fullness you want at the hem -- typically you'd use 1.5x as much fabric as the measurement, but there are a lot of confounding factors -- couture garments might be *extremely full*, but the fabric is usually carefully controlled -- e.g.: http://www.fashion-incubator.com/mt/arch鈥?/a><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />When working with pleats, you need to think about the depth of the pleat required. In solids and many prints, you can pretty much do what you want, but when working with stripes or plaids, <br><br /><br />you might want to pleat a particular color out of the stripe, or ';pleat to the sett'; --- e.g.: http://giftshop.scottishtartans.org/kilt鈥?/a> or the red and white skirt here: http://www.fiftiesweb.com/fashion/fashio鈥?/a><br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />As someone else mentioned, you need deeper pleats on heavier fabrics than you do on lighter fabrics, and you need less fullness in stiff fabrics than on drapier ones.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Pleats require 2x the depth of the pleat+1x exposed fabric.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />If this sort of design elements intrigue you, borrow a copy of Collette Wolff's Art of Manipulating Fabric -- it's a masterful study in surface texture, pleating, gathering, smocking, and many other things that can be developed by working with fabric.<br><br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Art-Manipulating-F鈥?/a>Coorphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05071999508321845056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385375220399321608.post-40464822402481379142010-01-06T21:52:00.002-08:002010-01-06T21:52:31.846-08:00Where can i find information about a vintage hulk hogan figure?Ive searched and searched google for information and cannot find my product anywhere, i want to know how much it is worth. i have it listed on ebay and someone contacted me privately and said they would give me 75 to end the auction, so it has me curious, it maybe worth alot more, but i cant find it anywhere.Where can i find information about a vintage hulk hogan figure?<br >are these figures solid rubber, or are they plastic with moveable arms and legs?<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />i have a whole set of solid rubber ones still from when i was a kid. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />hulk, george the animal steel, junkyard dog, iron sheik, hawk and animal, rowdy roddy piper, superfly jimmy snuka, and the bald anouncer guy, and that one guy with the rubber band in his beard....and some others...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />i wonder if they're really worth anything. i never thought they'd be worth a damn.Where can i find information about a vintage hulk hogan figure?<br >What does this have to do with golf?<br >In a different forum.<br >HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA lMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to INSERT - FUNCTION. The function you are looking for is PMT. The formula will walk you through it. The only thing to remember is that when it asks for number of periods, that would be months. So if it's a 30-year mortgage, you would use 360. Then when you enter the interest rate, you have to divide by 12 to get the monthly interest. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />The FV (future value) is -0-. You can ignore TYPE. The PV (present value) is $110,000 - the amount of your mortgage, but for some weird reason, you need to put it in as a negative in EXCEL.How do you figure out the monthly payment of a $110,000 mortgage loan with a 5.5 Interest Rate?<br >Go to www.bankrate.com and use their calculator, keeping in mind it doesn鈥檛 factor in an estimation for taxes and insurance which are often included in a mortgage payment.<br >that depends on if you are going to have your bank pay the escrow or you are going to do it yourself.Coorphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05071999508321845056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385375220399321608.post-59324726888523040182010-01-06T21:52:00.000-08:002010-01-06T21:52:01.338-08:00How do you figure out where to put the decimal when multiplying decimals???Help please?How do you figure out where to put the decimal when multiplying decimals???<br >ignore the decimals when u originally do the problem, then however many deciams there are in both of the decimals you're multiplying is how many there will b in the answer. i.e. if you multiply 6.78x4.234 together the answer will have 5 numbers behidnthe dceimal pointHow do you figure out where to put the decimal when multiplying decimals???<br >When you multiply decimals, you move the decimal to the left however many total decimal places that were in the factors.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />For instance...<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />0.25 * 0.3 = 0.075<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />There are 2 decimal places in 0.25 and 1 decimal place in 0.3, so the product will move the decimal over 3 places.<br >However many numbers the two numbers have after the decimal place is how many timems you move the decimal to the left.<br><br /><br />e.g.<br><br /><br />1.2<br><br /><br />1.2(both added are 2numbers after decimals)<br><br /><br />-----<br><br /><br />24<br><br /><br />120<br><br /><br />-------<br><br /><br />1.44<br >You count the # of decimal places from the numbers being multiplied. For example:<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />2.11 (notice that if you start from the right, there's 2 places until you get to the decimal) x 3.456 (notice that if you start from the right, there's 3 places until you get to the decimal) = 7.29216<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Notice that for the answer 7.29216 the decimal place is 5 places from the right since it was 2 places + 3 places = 5 places.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />Clear as mud?<br >3.2 X 5 = 16.0 3.4 X 2 = 6.8 You multiply as you would any numbers , forgetting about the decimals, and then when you get the answer, you look at how many numbers follow the decimal in the two numbers you multiplied, and that is how many places from the right you put your decimal in the anwer. Ex: <br><br /><br /> 3.4 <br><br /><br /> X<br><br /><br /> 5.7<br><br /><br /> -------<br><br /><br /> 238<br><br /><br /> 170<br><br /><br /> --------<br><br /><br /> 1938 But you see that there were two numbers after decimals in the problem ( .4 and .7) So you have to count two spaces from the right in the answer, which makes the answer<br><br /><br />19.38 and not 1938. I hope this helps.<br >When multiplying decimals, don't consider decimal places until the problem is solved. Count all places to the right of the decimal point in the problem. which is 5. Count that number of places in the product (the answer) starting from the right. <br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> example<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> 0.004 <br><br /><br /> x 0.02 <br><br /><br /> = 0.00008<br >ignore the decimals then count how many spaces are behind the decimals on both numbers (after you do the problem) and put that many spaces in the product<br >by counting how many numbers are after the decimals. Like if you do .2 * .3 you have two numbers that are after the decimal so your answer if .06. So with every one number you have after the decimal move the decimal to the left by one.<br >Multiply like you would with two whole numbers, but then move the decimal point to the left once for each number to the right of the decimal point in either of the factors. For example:<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />1.1 X 2.22<br><br /><br />11 X 222 = 2442<br><br /><br />3 total digits to the right of decimal point (.1, .22), so:<br><br /><br />2.442<br >Let me show you by example:<br><br /><br /> 8.15<br><br /><br />x 4.2<br><br /><br />-------------<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />when you multiply the problem above, you have the number: 34230<br><br /><br />to figure out where you put the decimal, you count the number of decimal spaces in the problem. 8.15 has 2 decimal spaces, 4.2 has 1 decimal space. You add them together to get 3, and that is how many decimal spaces will be in the result. You get the number: 34.230, or, 34.23<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />hope I could help!<br >when multiplying decimals, set up the problem like this (as an example):<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br /> .45<br><br /><br /> x .13<br><br /><br />---------<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />then, multiply as normal, ignoring the decimals, and youll find the answer (w/o decimals) is: <br><br /><br /> 135<br><br /><br />+ 450<br><br /><br />=585<br><br /><br />you move the decimal point over 4 space, so the answer is: 0.0585 (the 0 after the decimal point is used as a filler so that you can move the decimal over 4 space). the reason you move it over the number of spaces you do has to do with the placement of the decimal points in the original equation. because the equation was .45 x .13, you have to move the decimal pt in the answer over 4 spaces, because in .45, the decimal is moved over 2 spaces from the end of the number (45), PLUS in .13 the decimal is moved over 2 spaces from the end of the number (13), and 2 PLUS 2 equals 4.<br><br /><br /><br><br /><br />if the example had been .45 times .1, i would move it over only THREE spaces in the answer, because in .45 and .1, the decimal is moved over two places in .45 and only ONE place in .1, making a total of 3 place movements. get it?<br >Multiply normally, then count the number of places after each decimal point in the numbers and count from the right to left in your answer...........so 0.06 times 0.4 = 0.024<br >okay now write the problem without the decimals then at the end when you finish multiplying then take and ask how many numbers are behind the decimal and move the decimal in your answer to get your decimal answer<br >it stay where it was just add the for example .. 1.5 +0.75 = 2.25<br >when multiplying just bring it strait downCoorphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05071999508321845056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385375220399321608.post-30619909042108568262010-01-06T21:51:00.002-08:002010-01-06T21:51:44.887-08:00I am painting my home office and I can't figure out what color to paint it. ?I am between a dark brownish purple with hint of gold as a faux paint or a greenish gray blue.

Without a custom phone mod, you Can Not transfer ringtones into the internal memory of the phone unless you buy them from a Verizon vendor (ie. Get It Now).<br><br /><br />This is the problem with Verizon. While they have excellent phone service, they have locked up the rest of the phone tighter than a you know what. You can not upload your own ringtones or java programs (they use BREW). While I can't speak for all phones they make, this is my general understanding. Certain popular phones have phone specific mods that you can google. These mods involve changing data used by the internal phone programs. Once these mods are enabled, the transfer from the microSD or from a computer to the internal memory will then be enabled. However, you must be very careful in making them or your phone will end up as a glorious paper weight.<br><br /><br />However, I know nothing about this! -:)<br><br /><br />I have heard that there are alternative clever methods created by people which are applicable across all phones which don't involve moding.
