The extended real number system |
2009-06-30 |
|
From Justin:
Hi again, thanks a lot for answering my previous question! I was also just wondering again if the extended real number system has a potential or actual infinity because it includes positive infinity as a point that exists at the end of it?
All the Best,
Justin

A gymnast is swinging on a high bar. |
2007-02-14 |
|
From William:
A gymnast is swinging on a high bar. The distance between his waist (center of mass) and the bar is 1.1 m. If his speed at the top of his swing is zero and his gain in speed is due entirely to his change in gravitational potential energy, find his speed at the bottom of his swing.

Static electricity on an airplane |
2000-11-12 |
|
From John:
What discharges an airplane of static electricity in a electric storm when it is flying. I assume the charge is on the out side of the plane but when does it get discharged, or does it occur at landing?
