I don't know where else to stick this and I know GW isn't some homework website but it's a last ditch effort since this is due tomorrow (along with other problems).

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Three digital clocks A, B, and C run at different rates and do not have simultaneous readings of zero. Figure 1-6 shows simultaneous readings on pairs of the clocks for four occasions:

___________312_________________512__ Clock A
___25______125_______200_______290__ Clock B
___92________________142____________ Clock C

For example, at the earliest occasion, B reads 25 s and C reads 92 s. If two events are 600 s apart on Clock A, how far apart are they on (A) clock B and (B) clock C? (C) When clock A reads 400 s, what does clock B read? (D) When clock C reads 15 s, what does clock B read? (Assume negative readings for prezero times.)


2. The attempt at a solution
Okay, on the little line chart I made above, any spot where the numbers are right on top/below each other is a point where sumultaneous readings are. At the first event, Clock B is at 25 seconds while Clock C is at 92 seconds, and so on.

Since the chart was somewhat easy to read, I added up the time between 312 and 512 on Clock A, and the time between 125 and 290 on Clock B:

(A) Therefore, for on Clock A there is a space of 200 seconds while Clock B has 165 seconds. For Clock A to go 600 seconds, I multiplied the space by 3, and thus did the same to Clock B's space since they are the simultaneous, thus getting a time of 495 seconds on Clock B. The answer in the book says this is correct.

The problem I have is that I have no absolute clue on what to do or what equations to use, as I obviously cannot use the above method for part B of the question.

I'm in a college-level Physics course in my 12th grade year of High School. I've no real Physics knowledge although I have taken one part of Calculus. We have not been tought much yet but the teacher allows us to call him if we need help. I cannot reach him however and so I'm pretty much stuck.

Is there any direction that someone can at least point me in, because this is already quite confusing? I'm assuming I need some ratios or something but I cannot put it together.



Hopefully there's a physics whiz here!

This is some pretty low level stuff dude, first and foremost you need to convert the seconds back into minutes, you're working in base 12 now. Secondly, since you're working with clocks and time is circular (a theory only postulated by some but nonetheless an essential assumption when working with time integrals), you need to convert all your figures into radians.

Once you've done this it's really really easy, you can pretty much imagine all three clocks and see their intersections (I can at least, you can too if you plot them, but honestly, circles?)

What you're doing is way off.

212 on A =175 seconds on B =50 seconds on C

142 seconds on C?

nerds ^^

600a=495b = 1.2121212121212121212121212121212 ratio

175b=50c = 0.28571428571428571428571428571429 ratio

when clock A reads 400, clock B reads 330, so lars was right for 3.

92-15= 77
77/0.28571428571428571428571428571429=269.50000000000000000000000000027
=-269.5 seconds

ok now in return someone can help me with my assignment, i just need a recent news article to relate to:
buddhist fundamentalism and violence in sri lanka
or
islamic fundamentalism as a response to US foreign policy in the middle east
or
the relationship between islamic fundamentalism and terrorism
or
a new christian religious movement
or
new religious movement from an asian tradition

i don't watch the news and it has to be from within the last 6 months (3 months for the US policy one)

Sometimes I'm pretty glad I didn't go to college, I would so flunk the shit out of this.

Alright take note I'm in high school and all of us were thrust into this class as part of a program we're in. We don't have background knowledge of physics really!!

But I understand Lars' demonstration of Step 1, so I know that's the correct way.

However, where the fuck did the 175 come from in Step 2?

ok i need help as well amf

Represent the function using unit step functions. Find its Laplace transform.

f(t) = e^t, (0<t<2)

my assignment is due in 4 hours so someone better be finding me a current issue

200-25, the difference in time between the intersections of clock B and C

I'm so glad I'm not in highschool anymore I would have so flunked the shit out of this

hey would you have flunked finding an event related to fundamentalism in the last 6 months?

heres some for sri lanka but I don't know if this is exactly what you want

Heres one for new asian religious movements from tradition, it seems pretty good

You guys should just go on a field trip to a us evangelical church or something
