"The Ghost In The Machine" <ewill@sirius.tg00suus7038.net> wrote in message news:miaps3-8r9.ln1@sirius.tg00suus7038.net... | Ask him about calculation of average speed of a round trip. :-) Sure, that's an easy one. 30 mph West for one hour = -30 miles, 30 mph North for one hour = i30 miles, 30 mph SE for 1.414 hours = (30-i30) miles, total distance = (0, i0), divided by time, 3.414, for the average speed of the three legs of the triangle = (0,i0) miles per 3.141 hours = 0 mph. Got a problem with that, fuckhead? I so I can manage polar coordinates for you as well. Here's a nice one for you: A car goes 1 mile up a hill at 30 mph. How fast must it descend on the other side to complete a two mile journey at 60 mph? [rest snipped] Androcles |
