s(t) = s0 + Z j~v(t)jdt ; ~r(t) = ~r0 + Z ~v(t)dt ; ~v(t) = ~v0 + Z ~a(t)dt HINT: Mechanics Point-kinetics in a fixed coordinate system (Posted best I could due to text formatting of SETI) Let's See Who Can Figure It Out. Anyone? |

s(t) = s0 + Z j~v(t)jdt ; ~r(t) = ~r0 + Z ~v(t)dt ; ~v(t) = ~v0 + Z ~a(t)dt Are we talking big bang theory here? Join TeamACC Sometimes I think we are alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we are not. In either case the idea is quite staggering. |

Essie, where are you? Heres your big moment, dazzle us :-) Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge. |

Unless the proper math notations are implemented in the bb code, it'd be difficult to be accurate with formulas like this. Without being accurate with the notations, I'll go out on a limb and say that s(t) = s0 + Z j~v(t)jdt ; ~r(t) = ~r0 + Z ~v(t)dt ; ~v(t) = ~v0 + Z ~a(t)dt, is derived when r (position) = (x,y,z), v (velocity) = (x,y,z), a (acceleration) = (x,y,z). It's mechanics. Is that close enough or did I goof? |

It's too early in the morning and I not sure about the notation. It just looks like what A/C said to me. Am I missing something? Reality Internet Personality |

"Collisional redistribution of radiation", would be my guess. I never said I was committed to sanity. It is the dark places of my mind that I find facinating. NthDegree |

The position ~r, the velocity ~v and the acceleration ~a are defined by: ~r = (x; y; z), ~v = (x_ ; y_; z_), ~a = (x; y; z). |

Due to the lack of being able to properly post the equations, we might have to close this thread, but was worth a try. |
